Announcing DCRU's Term II DT

We had an overwhelming response to our Design Team Call for DCRU's second term. The artistic talent was just incredible! Sadly, we weren't able to give every applicant a position on the design team. Therefore, choosing was more than difficult. We appreciate the time and careful consideration that Claudia put into these decisions. I really don't know how she did it...however, you are going to L*O*V*E these girls! So, without further ado...I present to you the newest additions to our fabulous team...

Hi! My name is Hannah Boyd, but my family has called me Hannah Bug for as long as I can remember, which is why I called my blog Hannah Bug. I am a Christian, homeschooled daughter to my two wonderful parents, Lori and Eric. I have 3 rowdy little brothers (Landon, McCoy and Juss) and 1 sweet little sister (Ella). I love my family very much.

I love to draw, paint, take pictures and make cards. My Mom lets me use just about all of her craft stuff and that makes me sooooo happy!! I was so excited and couldn't believe it when Ms. Claudia emailed to tell me, that she picked me to join her Die Cuts R Us Design Team. Thank you so much Ms. Claudia...you made one of my dreams come true and this is proof that it doesn't matter how young you are, you can still try out for your dreams. My Mom is so proud of me because she loves card making too and we love to make cards together!!! This is so exciting, so fun to see what else God has in store

for me, because He isn't finished with me yet!!! Yay...I can't believe I am a DCRU DT member!!! Yippee!!

My name is Joni Wilson and I reside in Northern Virginia with my wonderful husband of 16 years. Together we juggle the everyday joys of raising our 6 children; our household is quite busy as you can imagine! Although I was born and raised in Hawaii, we have lived all over the United States as a military family. I love sharing my work with friends and families that are miles away.

I have been crafting for over a decade, yet card making became a primary focus within the past couple of years. I took the leap into blogland a year ago and am so happy that I made that decision! The crafting world is full of amazing, generous, inspiring, and creative people...which is exactly the type of company that I like to keep. ;)

Hi, my name is Heather Schlatter and I can not even tell you in words how excited I am to be a New DT member for Die Cuts R Us. I met Claudia a few months ago and was immediately impressed with her, and the DCRU store!!!! I have so enjoyed getting to read the DT posts on the blog and recently have been able to start playing in the challenge so now to be asked to be part of the DT I am over the moon excited!!!

About Me??? Well I am a Stay at Home Mommy to 3 Great Kido's Piper who is 7, Willow who is 5, and Tucker who is 2. My days stay pretty busy with running back and forth to pre-school helping in Pipers class some and taking care of my very active all boy two year old!!!! In my past life I was (well still am :-) ) a RN with 11 years experience in the OR and on the Open Heart Team and 5 years experience on a Labor and Delivery Post Partum Recovery Unit LDRP. I love my Kido's though and would not trade my days with them for anything in the world!!!

I have been Stamping/Scrap booking for about 10 years now and more constantly for about 4 years which is when I jumped into the Card sector of stamping as a SU! Demo at the time. I still love to teach others how to love stamping as much as I do, and I love to share new ideas and ways to make wonderful stamping creations. I started my Stamping Blog about a year and a half ago and have met some of my closest friends through stamping and blogging!!! I love the Stamping Community on the Internet they are the best most supportive girls and I don't know what I would do without them!!!! I love to try new techniques I don't really have one distinct style as I am always using new styles, techniques, tools and images!!! I am up for a challenge any day and I love love love to create scenes with my cards and projects!!!! I hope I can provide some inspiration for you during my time on the DT and I can not wait to get to know you all through the process!!!!
