Introducing the 2017 Joggles Design Team

I live in a tiny town in mid-western Ontario, Canada with my awesome and hilarious husband, Steve, and my two crazy cats. I have been a crafter and dabbler in art as long as I can remember, having always loved paper, ink, paint, stamps, and colour...lots and lots of colour. Retiring from teaching allowed me to pursue it with a passion. Now it's like chocolate...need it, want it, gotta have it...LOL. I started blogging and creating mixed media art in 2011. I love the process of playing, creating, and experimenting, and of sharing that journey with others. I am honoured and excited to be a part of this talented and amazing Joggles Design Team and to work with the wonderful and high quality products that Joggles manufactures and carries in Barb's online store.

Hello! I am Teresa and I live in Staffordshire, England with my partner, my daughter and her partner and our two cats! I have been crafting in one way or another for most of my life and started card-making around 12 years ago. I decided to start blogging a few years ago, and this led to me being invited onto a couple of design teams. I love to think outside of the box, and have fun trying out new products and techniques. I enjoy altered art, journalling, and mixed media, as well as card making, and I am thrilled to be joining the amazingly talented team here. When I am not covered in paint and glue, I love to get outside and enjoy the countryside. I am an avid photographer, always looking for interesting details or beautiful plants to photograph. I have made some wonderful friends on social media through my crafting, and it is lovely to be working alongside some of them in this team!

My name is Kim Schofield and I have been a crafter and instructor for over 15 years. My work has been published in various print and online magazines, I have been Copic certified for over 10 years, and have worked on a number of design teams. I also spent time as an editorial and product review writer for an online publication, and have taught a wide range of classes in a number of stores. I also produce technique videos for my You Tube channel, which has over 1,500 subscribers. Lastly, I was the owner of a craft supply store eclectic Paperie, which was acquired in 2015 by The Funkie Junkie Boutique.

Hi, my name is Leigh S-B aka The Sharpie Domino Queen! I’ve been immersed in the Rubber Stamping world for 20+ years and in 2002 I discovered my passion for Altered Game Art. I pioneered the technique of using Sharpie markers to create vibrant miniature works of art on dominoes and other game tiles & was nicknamed ‘The Sharpie Domino Queen' by the members of my DominoART Yahoo group. I'm trained in Fine Art & specialize in painting, drawing, photography & ceramics & I’m a certified Gare Ceramic instructor. My art interests are varied & eclectic & I love creating paper art, jewelry, digital art, mixed media, altered art & one of a kind art dolls. My art aesthetic leans towards Fantasy & Gothic dark art but I create whatever I feel like including cute & pretty coz all subject matter is beautiful to me & I don't put limitations on my art! I have written articles for leading stamping magazines & my creations have been featured in Somerset Studio, Stamper’s Sampler, The Rubber Stamper, Belle Armoire Jewelry and Just Steampunk as well as online at Altered Arts, The Stamper's Mall, Unmounted Central and various other stamping websites. I work out of my studio in sunny Southern California where I live with my hubby and furbabies & keep very busy managing & serving on Design Teams. I share my art on my Blogs, Facebook Pages, Facebook groups, Instagram, Pinterest & Twitter! Domino Hugs Leigh S-B
