On another note, we are delighted to welcome the wonderful Amy Sheffer of Pickled Paper Designs!

Amy Sheffer, Pickled Paper Designs

Hi! My name is Amy Sheffer. I live in Virginia on the far outskirts of Washington, DC, with my husband, three children, and two pets. I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom. My paper crafting journey began at a scrapbook workshop in the late ‘90s. A few years later, I discovered stamping and card making, and was hooked immediately! I spent a few years being a Stampin’ Up demo and enjoyed it quite a bit, but I think I really found my niche when I stopped creating for classes and workshops and started creating just for fun. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed being part of the online card making community, as well as designing for some really awesome stamp companies, stores, challenges, and publications. When I’m not stamping or busy being a mom, I also enjoy volunteering for my kids’ schools and activities, photography, DIY home decor, and reading. I’m thrilled to be joining the Curtain Call Crew!

Lisa Henke, My Little Creative Escape

I'm Lisa Henke. I grew up in Michigan and followed my hubby (then boyfriend) back to his hometown of Cincinnati, OH 15 years ago. I've been married to Tim for 13 years now and we have three beautiful, smart, crazy, athletic, wild boys. Yep, I'm a boy mom! It's rarely quiet around here and if there isn't a ball being kicked, thrown, or bounced then I better be worried. lol! I've been blessed to be able to stay home with my guys while they were babes and this year is the first time I have all three in full day school together (1st, 4th, and 6th grades). Last year, I did start a little part time job as a Pre-school aid, so I get out two mornings a week to earn a little "fun" money and hang with little people. When I'm not working, driving to a practice, cooking, or cleaning, you'll find me down in my craft room re-charging my sanity and getting my girly fix. I ♥ stamping! I've been stamping for what seems like forever now...11+ years. It was love at first stamp! I have had the privilege to work with some pretty fantastic companies and I"m super excited to begin working with the super talented crew from Curtain Call.

We are over the moon to have you with us, Lisa!

Be sure to come back on Tuesday for a new challenge and to see Lisa's first card with us, 

along with cards from the rest of the design team!
