Jinny Newlin

My family and I livein a small suburb of Kansas City, just over an hour and a half north of where Igrew up. I am a former, kindergarten teacher turned adoringwife to BJ and stay-at-home, home school mom to a smart, spunky, eight-year-oldEzekiel and a vocal, tenacious, three-year-old Adina. When I’m nottaking care of or playing with my family, I may be cooking, baking, gardening,camping, sewing, taking pictures, or of course, paper crafting. Mylove for the latter started, over ten years ago, at a Stampin’ Up workshop; butI have been creating with any and every form of crafting media, that I couldget my hands on, since I was old enough to hold a crayon. You can find meblogging at Soaring, designing for Wplus9 Design andMarket Street Stamps, and contributing to both The Play Date Café ColorChallenge and Sketches in Thyme Scrap Challenge. And I’m so excited to bejoining the talented likes of the Do You Stack Up? team this week!

ElinVenge

Hi!! My name is Elin Venge and I am honored to be the DYSU guest designer this week. I grew up in Oslo, Norway, but have called many other places home; at 19 I had lived in four different countries on four different continents. I love traveling and discovering new slices of paradise almost as much as I love fiddling with paper, embellishments and glue. I started making cards about a year and a half ago, and became addicted. I’m a Copics lover at heart and always have to go back to coloring images whenever I’ve ventured outside my comfort zone by making something without my precious markers. My usual style is a colored image on top of layers upon layers of cs and pp, often with sewed, distressed and chalked edges, heavy usage of pearls, flowers, charms, seam binding (colored with Copics), punches and diecuts. Another trademark of mine is that I always decorate all the sides on my cards. I started a blog about 10 months ago where I post my creations, feel free to roam around at www.mypapermill.com.

Tracy MacDonald

Hi! My name is Tracy MacDonald and I'm a southern belle from Mississippi. I've been married 26 years to my soul mate and we have one amazing daughter. Although I've tried many hobbies, papercrafting is my true passion. I started out scrapbooking, especially mini albums and got drawn into the amazing and totally fun world of cardmaking by a fellow scrapper. I'm a coloring addict, whether it be Copics, distress inks, or Prismas. I love learning and sharing ideas with my fellow crafters and have several tutorials posted on both my YouTube channel, Tracylovestoscrap and my blog, I Wanna Build a Memory. I'm really excited about starting a new year of sharing my crafting journey with my bloggie friends and making lots more new ones. Thanks so much to Alison and the DT for asking me to be a guest designer this week at DYSU!

Now get inspired by our Design Team!
