We travel to Utah for today’s 5 Year Anniversary host Wendy Weixler, a stamper, crafter, wife, mother and bundle of energy!

Wendy remembers loving paper crafting and art projects since she was a little girl, creating masterpieces for the refrigerator door. No medium escaped her notice, from paint-by-number to mod podge and wood wonders! She has been a digital designer for over twenty years, working as an administrative assistant, intranet webpage coordinator and office guru during that time. She began scrapbooking in earnest over 10 years ago when she bought her first pair of decorative scissors. She was hooked. (She still has those scissors even though they don’t get used!). “A good friend introduced me to stamping and card making in 2003, and my creative juices have been on overdrive since,” she says. She loves to create handmade gifts for friends and family, and very few items that have potential for “alterability” go untouched! “I feel I am learning something new almost weekly. I enjoy the challenge of incorporating new techniques and ideas into all of my projects.” Wendy has been married to Ron for 23 years. They have three children, the lights of her life—Devan, Garrett and Amelia.

Here are 2 cards Wendy wanted to share here today.

Now visit Wendy’s blog, Wickedly Wonderful Creations and see what wonderful dies she’s creating with today, and maybe you could be the lucky winner of all the dies revealed through today!

Today we travel to Arizona to visit Jeni Calkins, host of Day 9’s 5th Anniversary Celebration.  Jeni is a mixed media artist, wife, and stay at home mom of 3.

“I have a passion for teaching art, whether it’s in the classroom or through writing,” she says. Some of what brought her to where she is now were her days of studying studio art at the University of California, San Diego. With her ability to use a wide range of materials, and her love for inspiring others, she is currently a senior designer for Altered Arts Magazine and has had many articles published there. Jeni uses Spellbinder’s products to the nth degree applying them to her areas of expertise: book making, jewelry designing, collage, assemblage, scrapbooking and card making.

I can’t wait to see what Jeni has to show us today, I’m heading over to Studio Jeni, I’ll meet you there!

Please welcome our host of Day 7, Jennifer Ellefson of Virginia!  She’s a wife and busy mom of 2 boys.

Jennifer says, “I have been creating all my life. My quest for the perfect craft was over when I found scrapbooking and stamping in 2002!”  A lifelong lover of all things stationery and paper, she is excited to be designing with Spellbinders. A consummate professional within her field, Jennifer’s work has been published in many paper crafting magazines, including Paper Crafts, Woman’s Day, CARDS and Stampington.  Jennifer believes her strengths are using paper in new ways, which is why she is so happy to be working with the incredibly innovative team at Spellbinders.
