SID card team July - December 2020!

 Please welcome our CARD team!

My name is Alison and I live in Bend, Oregon, right in the center of Oregon. I am married and have one thirteen year old daughter along with a dog named Wrinkles. I started traditional scrapbooking over ten year ago which branched out into card making, mini albums, and other paper crafts. I work part time as Speech Language Pathologist helping children birth to five years of age. On my days off I keep busy crafting, volunteering at my daughter’s school, gardening, reading, and enjoying the outdoors.


Hi!  I’m Sharon Bessinger.  I am so excited to be joining Stick it Down and their talented Design Team!  I’m married to Shaun going on 23 years and we have a 3 wonderful kids.   We also have 2 rescue dogs, Pippin and Shandy, 7 chickens, and a bunny… I’ve always been an artsy person, I am a silversmith as well.  From the time I was little, I loved to color and create fun projects.  A couple of years after our oldest son was born (20 years ago), I was introduced to scrapbooking. I fell in love with it.  I love creating in my craft room with paper and a cup of coffee, listening to my echo podcasts or music.


I am a Michigan girl who has a crafty obsession. Thanks to my parents, I was encouraged to be creative at a very young age. My style is "vintage chic." I love to mix things up so I love to add modern touches to vintage but modern prints. I create cards, layouts, altered items, etc. When you can't find me in my studio I am most likely to be found in the kitchen cooking up a storm for my parents and brother. 
Monica

My name is Monica and I live in IL with my husband and 3 boys. To pay the bills and support my hobby I work at a bank as a part time teller. I like to say "What's better than bankers hours? Part time bankers hours." I love to be able to play in my craft room and create when I get a chance. I began making cards in 2010, after a little hiatus and enjoyed the smaller project size (which slowly helped me get back into scrapping). I love working with sketches and so I'm super excited to be a part of the Stick It Down card team!



Hello I am Maya from Taiwan, a beautiful subtropical country in Asia. It's my honor to be part of DT and share my cards with you here. I love everything about art and enjoy painting and crafting since I was a little kid. My scrapbooking journey started in 2013 when I visited the United States and my mom-in-law showed me her scrapbook pages. Since then scrapbooking has become a part of my life. My inspirations come from my daily life, experiences of travels, beautiful natural elements, and encouraging/motivating words. I love telling stories through my projects. Also I am a big fan of mixed media in combining different materials. More so a cocktail of imagery and joyfulness. Hope you enjoy our projects and they get you inspired here at Stick It Down. You may also check out my BlogInstagram, and  for more of my work.


A little about me, my name is LeeAnn McKinney,  I live in Lakeland, FL with a wonderful husband that supports my fun. He is always there to encourage me and always wants to see my work as soon as it is finished, I do believe he is my biggest fan. I have a wonderful family of daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren who are the inspiration for many of my layouts and card projects. My pups, Chase and Harley, are always with me in my craft room trying to see what they can get into that falls off the table that they can play with before I can grab it.

While I am a clean and simple type papercrafter, I am exploring more of the options out there. I love designing and bringing inspiration to the teams followers, so they too can see what is possible. And last but not least I am a crafty collector. Eventually I might use it all, but in the mean time, it comes in the Abyss (my craftroom) and stays until it is found again.

I love creating all-the-things!  Scrapbooking is my passion since the storytelling and consequently memory keeping aspect is very close to my heart..  I also love card making and teach the odd class locally.  Besides papercrafting, I enjoy quilting, baking and all things Jane Austen.

Hi, I am Tina.I live in South Williamsport, PA. I am married to a waonderful man now 22 years between the 2 of us we have 8 kids, 17 Grandkids, 2 Great-grandkids with a pair of twins and another on the way :) We are the owners to 1 fur-baby too, Buddy an Australian cattle dog (Blue Heelers) and has been part of our lives since 2004. I'm a mold ejection laborer working the night shift for Shop Vac.
I started scrapbooking in 2007 when 2 coworkers/friends took me to my first crop, one of the girls said all I needed to bring was the pictures and anything special to go with them, she provided me with my first album and I had access to her supply of paper. I fell in love with the hobby that day and have been doing it since, that year for Christmas they gave me my first tote-bag kit that I still use when going to crops. I love to scrap in my Scrapcave (scraproom) it gives a chance to relax and enjoy the process of preserving memories. I scrap, make cards, smash and project life.



I'm Lauren and I'm from Philadelphia, PA. I've been married to my husband Mike for 9 years.  We met in elementary school and started dating the summer after we graduated from high school. We have two furbabies, Rocky the Boxer and Daphne the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I work from home for a yearbook publishing company, so even in my job, I work with photography and page layouts. I started scrapbooking 14 years ago and I am absolutely obsessed. My other hobbies include antiquing, photography, reading, gardening, and cooking/baking. I love to travel, and that provides so many scrapportunities for layouts.

June guest designer... Shala!

I'm a mom of two, Garrett a sophomore at Oklahoma State, and Emma, a sophomore in high school. I've been married to my husband for 23 years and I have been a teacher in rural NW Oklahoma for 20 years. I've been scrapping for over 20 years, but I also love to read. I participate in a local musical theatre group and watch live musical theatre as often as I can. I love to travel, especially cruises, Disney World, and NYC. I'm super excited to be a 1st-time guest designer for Stick It Down this month.

I changed up the sketch a little, but I think I kept the original design in mind. I used the Vicky Boutin Let's Wander collection except for the woodgrain base pages that are Echo Park. Instead of extending the triangles over the pages, I made triangles for each page with a different pattern paper, and instead of using stars, I used different ephemera, stickers, and Thickers. The horizontal pictures are 5x3 and the vertical pictures are 3x4. I used different word stickers instead of making a journal box because I've already done several pages from this trip to Central Park, so I didn't feel like I really needed to journal. I put the title centered above and below the middle pictures, and I added the year to the bottom left.
