Georgiana http://carsonscricutcreations.blogspot.com/

Georgiana's Bio
My name is Georgiana and I have been married for 18 years to my high school sweetheart. We have two children, a 17 year old and a 13 year old,  and two dogs. I am a 5th grade teacher with 13 years of experience even though my degree is in Social Work. I LOVE to make cards, but have dabbled in various crafts (ceramics, chocolate, silk flowers) over the years thanks to my grandmother. I like to layer paper and use lots of different types of embellishments...buttons, brads, ribbon, florals, and gems are just a few. Being able to craft and share with others has become an extremely satisfying hobby (addiction).

I am super excited that I have been given the opportunity to serve on Creative Cutter Room's Design Team.

 Amy's Bio:

My friends all call me Amy Jo.  I'm 32 years old, married to the most wonderful man and we have three dogs.  I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about four years ago while I had two jobs and was attending school for Fashion Design.  I ended up having to drastically change my life, quit all of my jobs and school and was basically bed-ridden for most of the first year.  I knew I had to do something to make my life more meaningful and that is what led me to papercrafting.  I found I have a knack for it and my friends and family started wanting to buy my cards so I went full force and never looked back!  It has been the most fulfilling venture I have ever taken in my life.  I am so excited to be on the Design Team for CCR!  I also belong to Paper Piecings by Nikki and am the coordinator for Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog (FCCB).  I look forward to creating with you!

Elaine's Bio

I am married and have 2 sons ages 23 & 25. I have been crafting on and off for over 30 years. I got my Cricut & Gypsy in Nov. 2010 and before that I had never heard or seen a cricut before. I have been having so much fun with it. Then in Nov. 2011 I found the Imagine on sale from the black Friday deal that was left over and I jumped on it. (I love my Imagine!)  I enjoy making cards and want to move on to layouts which is what I had planned on doing when I first got my Cricut.

Jessica's Bio:

My name is Jessica Wilson. I am a 32 year old wife to Brandon Sr and a mommy to Brandon Jr. Brandon Jr is 6 years old and the light of my life! He is so incredibly smart and so amazingly awesome (sorry, I'm a proud mommy)! He makes me laugh every day, and he is the reason I wake up in the morning! My hubby is my best friend and soul mate! If a am not crafting and working my full time job as an Assistant Bank Manager (or my part time business venture, JCC Event Planning), then I am spending every other moment with them! I also enjoy being around my extended family, reading a good love story, going to the movies to laugh hard, and now playing tennis with my hubby and brother in law!

Tonya's Bio:

I'm a stay-at-home mom with two wonderful children, three and one. I have an incredibly supportive husband who has agreed to give me one day a month to craft without interruption. I do most of my crafting during nap time. I have been paper crafting in one form or another on and off for about 10 years. I started seriously scrapbooking about a year ago. I love whimsy and fantasy in my projects and creating a scene.

Diana's Bio:

I am married to my wonderful Husband, Who is also my best friend and greatest support.   We live on the Central Coast in CA. I am an exhibiting Artist, the mediums I use are watercolor, acrylic, and sometimes I get crazy and use mixed media.  I serve on the board of Directors of our local Art League; we are a non-profit organization, and a vital part of our art community.  I have always loved art, and as a child, this is what I wanted to do.  I'm very thankful for everyday, and I look at each day as an opportunity to create, share, and show kindness.  On Jan 1, 2011, I started my blog DL.ART and it has opened a whole new direction of art for me, my medium has included the use paper and glue a lot. We will see what 2012 has to offer.

Brenda's Bio:
I am a wife, mother, pet owner, and a full-time paper crafter!  I am so blessed to be doing what I love every day and sharing the things that I learn through teaching and my blog.  It is so much fun to create.  I have Cricut classes in my home once per month teaching people the ins and outs of their Cricut machine.  I have the Cricut Expressions, and I would say my specialty is creating 3-D items.  Whether it is a page, card, or home decor/gift item, I love showing how flat die-cuts can some alive!

Beckie's Bio:

I’m Beckie. I super love making stuff. I’m new to blogging and paper crafting. However, I have done crafty things off and on my whole life. It started with doodling up notes to friends that we passed in the hall at school, to making shirts with glue and foil paper, to sewing and cake decorating. I believe paper crafting has to be my all-time favorite.

As for me personally, I am very outgoing and talkative. I am very much a people person and have really taken to this blogging thing. Love it. I'm married to a great guy and have one lil princess.

I simply love crafting and blogging.

Tracy's Bio:

I am a 21 year old college student that has been crafting since I was little.  It is a passion for me and I would craft all day if I had the time!  I love to learn about new techniques and products and participate in challenges. I love to use my Cricut to create many different projects.  I also love to show off my creations to others to inspire them.   I also love  challenges because they allow me to think outside of the box and create something I may not have otherwise made.
