Welcome To Ellen and Tracy!

Today I would like to introduce you to our two new Design Team Members. So ... without further ado ... here is a little bit about them in their own words ...

Ellen Vargo
I can't remember a time in my life that I didn't like to make things. It started by helping my Dad with projects around the house as a kid, and that evolved into beading, basketry, pottery, and finally, about six years ago... paper arts. Scrapbooking evolved into stamping and card making, and that evolved into grungy, inky, stampy mixed/multi media art. I love multi media art because it allows me to incorporate all of my crafty passions into one project! I am an artist by passion, and work as an accounting manager by day to pay for my art addiction. I am married to my best friend, who is so supportive of my arty endeavors... he cooks, he cleans, he does laundry... all so I can keep *making art* ! That's true love! I am a true believer in the power of art, and the wonder of the internet to unite people from all the corners of the world. I look forward to getting to know you all!


Tracy Evans
Hi my name is Tracy, I started to create with rubber stamps and other viable materials approximately 13 years ago, and I have been hooked ever since. I had my own craft retail outlet for 10 years until last year when I decided to close the doors to spend more time on my hobby and with my children, and that is exactly what I have been doing for the past 16 months when I began a new obsession, blogging!

I love hunting out unusual items to use in my crafts or for gifts or simply treasures around my home but I particularly get a buzz from using anything unusual in my creating.
When I am not crafting you will find me in the garden another of my obsessions. Crafting and gardening have been my passions for a long time and I continue to get a buzz from creating and hopefully inspiring others in the art of CRAFT.
I am absolutely delighted to have been chosen to be part of the talented SSSS DT and to create with like minded people. To say I am thrilled is an understatement. Thank you to all at SSS, Linda and the DT for inviting me along and making me so welcome.

Make sure you come back on Monday to see what they create for the first challenge!
Have a great weekend everyone!
