Introducing Spellbinders’ 2009 Design Team
Good Morning Spellbinders Fans,
After hosting an amazing contest for the 2009-10 Spellbinders’ Design Team, looking at a bajillion pieces of incredible art, reading short essays from the designers, checking out blogs and more, we chose the top 20–which many of you noticed was actually Top 24 because I have such a hard time deciding!
Then each designer received Spellbinders’ die templates to create another piece of art. We waited (not so patiently) for projects to arrive in our in boxes. When the art images all finally arrived, we knew we were in trouble. Such amazing entries…
So we chose 14 incredible designers.
I am proud to introduce to you and welcome to our family
the 2009-10 Spellbinders’ Design Team
Check out the GoogleMaps where our new Design Team Members reside…That’s kind of fun.
But in case you can’t see that, let’s run down the list (alphabetical by first name):
Christy Farneth-Kerr, Ohio
Debbie Seyer, Missouri
Heidi Blankenship, Minnesota
Holly Simoni, Wyoming
Jennifer Davis, Nebraska
Janine Blackwelder, North Carolina
Julie Overby, Oregon
Karen Hunsaker, Arizona
Karen Taylor, Missouri
Kazan Clark, Colorado
Kimberly Crawford, Minnesota
Lesa Rapp, Idaho
Mary Pfaff, Arizona
Terre Fry, Arizona
Each year, I choose an alternate or two to help us out if a designer needed: So I’d like to invite Judy Hayes to fill that roll.
Thanks again to ALL who submitted. Spellbinders is a leader in the paper crafts industry because of you all, designers who love our product and support it in your art. We will continue to produce cutting-edge products with you in mind. We say thanks!!
For now, our current design team will continue to bring you great art on the website, their own blogs, our gallery, here on our blog, and more.
The new team will gather in Phoenix, Arizona mid-April for a retreat to learn, play, get to know each other, eat chocolate and have a ton of fun. We’ll be introducing them to you as we finish up with our 2008-09 team.
Stacey Caron, President of Spellbinders Paper Arts
