Good evening my wonderful followers!

So, as you can guess from the title of this post, I have a bit of an announcement to share with you...

I MADE THE KINDERSTAMPO DESIGN TEAM! :) :) :) :)

I am so unbelievably excited to be part of Jess' first design team that will showcase her amazing stamps! Thank you Jessica for including me in this amazing group of very talented ladies! I can't wait to share your fabulous designs with other crafters!

The tagline for KinderStampO is: Live. Craft. Inspire. Jess asked each of the designers to introduce themselves using these three characteristics. So, without further ado, time to learn a little bit more about me :)

Live.
My name is Ashley DeSesso, but I am better known in the crafting world as the "Scrappin' Pink Piglet". I have been happily married to my best friend and biggest supporter, my husband George, for over two years and we have two adorable "furkids", our cats Lincoln and Jack. We're hoping to add to our growing family sometime in the next year (this time with a human child). I am entering my fifth year teaching Spanish to elementary-age children, a job I absolutely love, and I am pursuing National Board certification this year.

Craft.
I am so excited to be a part of the inaugural KinderStampO design team! This is my first design team and I feel so honored to be included in a group of such talented crafters, especially Jess! I have been crafting since August of 2010, mainly focusing on creating cards although I have explored some interactive cards, mini-albums, and altered items throughout my experiences. I would love to be able to do a little bit more scrapbooking and documenting all of our life experiences in the future. I have a bit of an addiction to stamps, and can't imagine being on a better team to fuel that love a bit more! :)

Inspire.
As for what inspires me...I love the challenge of looking at a piece of cardstock and wondering, “What can I do with this today?”, or taking a theme and shaping it into a card or project that I can share with my friends and family and that I can be proud to say I created. I love being able to share my ideas and explorations with a wide variety of people at all different levels, whether they are brand-new to the world of papercrafting, still developing their style, or veterans of the craft. I love being inspired by those same crafters, new and old alike, and pushing the boundaries of my comfort level by exploring more complex designs and formats.

 
I also wanted to share a few of the projects I have done using Jess' stamps. All of these projects were created using the "Friendship" stamp set, which has become one of my favorite go-to sets. There are so many ways you can use these sayings.

(Sorry that you have to tilt your head for this one...for some reason it won't let me turn the picture so it looks right.  I'll try to get it fixed!)

There is Blog Candy too :)
