I love to draw and love to create images that work well together. But nothing excites me more than to hand over my stamps to these fabulous designers and watch the magic come to life. These talented concept designers are not only creative but they are all wonderful people to work with and I am blessed to have them on my team.

I'm at stay at home mom for my two little boys and operate a family child
care from my home several days a week. At the end of a hectic day, or really
whenever I can get a quiet moment, I enjoy winding down with stamps, paper and
ink. It is SUCH a stress reliever for me!
Its so funny because when I was first invited to a stamping party, I almost
didn't go....I actually responded "That's SO not my thing."
But once they actually got those stamps into my hands... I was hooked.
Crafting has opened up a side of me that I never before knew existed, I enjoy
blogging each day to chronicle the journey and the progression of my artwork.
I'm simply thrilled to be designing for Gina K Designs.
It was 11 years ago when I was first introduced to rubber stamping, and I honestly can’t remember life before stamping…must’ve been boring! I’ve been a successful Stampin' Up demonstrator for 10 of those years. What a great ride it’s been! My love for stamping has grown so much over the years. My absolute favorite technique is watercoloring; but I honestly enjoy all aspects of the craft. It is the best therapy around! Theresa Momber- Designer

Born in Havana, Cuba and immigrated to New York, USA, Asela has been an artist all of her life. Since becoming a SAHM (which she says is a the best job she has ever had,) she spends her days finding snipets of time to create. She discovered stamping in September of 2004 when she went to a stamping party. She signed up as a Hobby demo shortly after. She has enjoyed learning this craft and hopes to continue to grow as a paper craft artist.

When my husband became active in the army in 2001, my little comfortable world began to change. I gave up my job as a public relations director and got the family ready to move across the country. I decided that my children needed me more than ever because we were so far from our families, so I stayed at home and took up scrapbooking. I always loved doing artistic things and this was a great way to chronicle my three children as they grew (too fast!)

Over the years I dabbled in many creative outlets but have not found as much enjoyment as I have with stamping, which I’ve been doing about six years. However I discovered my stamping creativity increased tremendously the past few years being exposed to different stamp companies, blogs and fellow stampers who inspire me on a daily basis.
Two aspects of stamping I enjoy are watercoloring (relaxing) & participating in challenges (to stretch my abilities). My satisfaction with stamping is enhanced when I give a handmade card/gift to someone & they appreciate my time & talents were devoted to them. My stamping goal this year was to be recognized in the stamping community & be rewarded with serving on a design team; that dream has come true & multiplied! I am honored to be a part of Gina K Designs!

I started stamping in the fall of 2003. It was my first endeavor into anything crafty or artistic. I have discovered I love paper crafting! I have moved on from cards to altered items and am now trying my hand at digital as well. I host the weekly Color Challenge on Splitcoaststampers
and spend a lot of time keeping my website up to date with ideas and tutorials.

In 2001, I was introduced to the world of Stampin' Up! I became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in June of that year. 5 1/2 years later, I'm still here and still stamping away. For years I said that I would never stamp. All it took was the right company to come along and change my outlook on it. Stamping opened up a whole new perspective for my creative outlet. Stamping seemed to meld really well with my scrapbooking and a whole new obsession was born.
One of my newest passions is creating commissioned work for people that enjoy what I do. And, of course, I continue to work on my own personal scrapbooks, altered art, stamping and papercrafts. After all, it's more than a passion. It's an obsession. :)

I began scrapbooking with the birth of my son 11 years ago. As a former elementary education teacher, I viewed scrapbook pages as mini bulletin boards with photos and journaling. I discovered rubberstamping a few years later and was excited to see how easily rubber stamps fit into my scrapbooks and cards.
I did in-home daycare for over 9 years so that I could be a SAHM while my children were young. My youngest is 7 now, and I began to wonder if there was something else for me to do since they’re in school all day. And then I met GinaK.
When Gina opened her store in McFarland, I began working for her a few nights a week and found what I was looking for. I will begin working full-time for her this fall. When I’m teaching rubberstamp techniques and paper crafting projects, I often think how my life has come full circle right back to what I’ve always wanted to be since I was a child: a teacher.

I started stamping with my Momma when I was around twelve years old; I didn't start enjoying it until about age fourteen. I started making simple cards then trying a few techniques. In 2005 my Momma found an exciting website - www.splitcoaststampers.com! After browsing through the gallery and stamping forums I found a way that I could improve my stamping. I studied the other artists' styles, decided what made their style unique, and began creating my own style.
I have been published several times in Stampington's magazines, and am now a design artist for Gina K. Designs! My other interests are landscaping, architecture, web design, photography, Christian film making, and hunting.

My sister introduced me to stamping last year and I have been madly stamping since then. I have always loved to create and have tried a variety of different crafts over the years, but stamping is the one that "stuck." My favorite part of grade school was always doing fun paper craft projects, so stamping truly is the perfect creative outlet for me. I love doing challenges and seeing where each new image will take me.
Since I first discovered Gina's stamps, I immediately fell in love with them. With every new release it seems like the images were illustrated just for me. I am so honored to be a part of this amazing design team.
