Diane Agarwal - Owner
I am an army brat and grew up with a German mother who introduced me to this amazing paper and the art of making beautiful ornaments with it. This is traditional that most Germans learn. I have been making holiday stars for friends and family with it ever since I can remember and have had a dream of sharing it with everyone else. I have a daughter and a son who are now grown, and so I now have Rinea as my new baby…it is made up of the names of my kiddos (Ria & Neel). I am learning so much about new ways to use Rinea foiled paper for crafting, scrapbooking and home decor. I hope to be able to reach out to as many of you as possible and spark your creativity!

Nadine Carlier - Social Media and Marketing Director
I have been crafting for 20+ years now with scrapbooking, handmade cards, mixed media and altered art projects being my favorite things to create although I have done and love all things crafty. I would say my style would best be described as eclectic with a mixed media twist. Almost all my craft projects have some kind of mist or paint on them. I love getting messy and trying new techniques. Inspiring others is something I love to do by creating videos and sharing how I create my projects.

Steph Ackerman - Designer
I have been creating for as long as I can remember. I create a variety of projects from cards to canvases to mixed media projects and more. I do not start out with a plan in mind as I love to experiment and see what happens. I feel my day is not complete if I haven't spent some time creating. I can be found teaching at my local store as well as in my studio where I encourage my students to experiment and explore their creativity. I am a CHA Designer Member and have been published in numerous magazines.

Jessica Kaiser - Designer
Mom, wife, crafter, Zumba chick, wine lover, foodie...Hi! My name is Jess! I am a wife, mother, paper crafter, and business entrepreneur. I am a craft enthusiast! I love creating cards, scrapbook pages, home decor, 3D paper items, canvases and more. I'm just starting to dabble in sewing and want to learn how to quilt, knit & crochet too! Yes, I LOVE being CRAFTY! :) I love to find new craft companies and (well, I hate to admit it) am a bit of a supply hoarder! I'm learning to use it up, not store it so I can make room for new products! I love to try new products and am always excited when the happy mail comes :) I'm learning how to use and manipulate digital images as well as new coloring mediums such as watercolor, paint, alcohol markers and pencil crayons. In my spare time, I love to decorate my home with a mid-century modern flair, cook, bake, create recipes, sew and teach Zumba classes (primarily children's classes at the moment!)

Roni Johnson - Designer
Hi, Ink Stained Roni here and so happy to be a part of this amazing group of artists. I live in rural Indiana with my high school sweetheart, we have two grown sons, each of which has their own family now. I am a life-long "maker" and I've been crafting for as long as I can remember. I found my love when rubber met the ink pad and I've been a stamper, card maker and mixed media artist ever since. You may have stumbled across my work over the years which can be found many places including my blog Ink Stains, a variety of design teams and magazines or in the book I wrote Teach Yourself Visually: Collage & Altered Arts. If I had to describe my style it would be vintage eclectic - I love all things vintage and use it often in my art. Eclectic because I love to incorporate various techniques and mediums...I am a mad scientist who doesn't always follow the rules and like to experiment so I never quite know how things will turn out.

Betzy Flores - Designer
Hi Crafters! I love to inspire and share home décor ideas with different crafting tools and media behind the voice and face of Amor To Create. As a military spouse, I move every other year getting the opportunity of a new “canvas” for my inspiration with a new house and my business. My passion for crafting was passed along by my mom, but I postponed it to work in the corporate world for several years. After deciding to stay at home with my kids 16 years ago, I bought an embroidery machine and started selling luggage straps - the rest is history! I love designing with papercrafts, die-cutting machines, sewing, upcycle materials for home décor in addition to woodburning and laser engraving. I have a dream job working as a Content Creator, Brand Ambassador and Creative Maker. You can find more inspiration with the hashtag #diybetzysdesigns and following me on Social Media:

Jenn DuBell - Designer
I have been a crafter since my children were little and I began scrapbooking back in the early 90’s. My crafting has expanded into paper crafts of all kinds, home décor, mixed media, cards, albums, and altered items. My favorite quote of all time is “Creativity Takes Courage” – Henri Matisse. I have a very mixed style and love everything from shabby and vintage to grungy and steampunk. I am a lover and collector of antiques and vintage items and often use them to inspire me in my work. I love to inspire others through my creating as well as doing live videos showing my process. I look forward to joining this new team and hope that I can inspire you!

Jessa Plant - Designer
I'm a creative person who has been crafting since before I could walk! I love using all types of media to create home decor, party decorations, cards, planners and more. You name it and I can probably come up with a way to add a little sparkle. Oh, and fair warning, I love the holidays! Nearly every inch of the house gets decorated by things I've made, including many of the ornaments on my trees (yep, there's usually more than one!) When I'm not crafting, you can find me either working out, running, creating low carb recipes or at the soccer field with my three daughters. I currently reside in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.

LeeAnn McKinney - Designer
A little about me, my name is LeeAnn McKinney, I live in Lakeland, FL with a wonderful husband that supports my fun. He is always there to encourage me and always wants to see my work as soon as it is finished, I do believe he is my biggest fan. I have a wonderful family of daughters, son in laws and grandchildren who are the inspiration for many of my layouts, and card projects. My pups Chase and Harley are always with me in my craft room trying to see what they can get into that falls off the table that they can play with before I can grab it. While I am a clean and simple type papercrafter, I am exploring more of the options out there. I love designing and bringing inspiration to the team's followers, so they too can see what is possible. And last but not least I am a crafty collector. Eventually I might use it all, but in the meantime, it comes in the Abyss (my craft room) and stays until it is found again.

Monika Graefling-Gladysiak - Designer
When I was 7 years old, I got my first craft knife to make stencils for Christmas decorations and that's how my journey began. I started making handmade cards for my family and friends, then I experimented with handmade jewelry, painting, drawing, glass painting, quilling, photography, knitting, crocheting. However, my passion for papercrating has never stopped and creating something unique that makes other people happy became my life goal. I also work at SEN school in London and teach the students arts and crafts which is very rewarding. I do believe in what Albert Einstein once said: 'Creativity is contagious, pass it on'! Happy crafting!

Natalie Ballard - Designer
Hi I’m Natalie and I’ve been crafting since the age of 6 when I was making jewelry with my Mom. I am the crafter I am today because of my Mom, she taught me to draw at an early age and ultimately is the reason I went to Art College. I’ve now been a crafter/designer/illustrator for nearly 35 years and I’m happiest in my craft room. I now teach others on a daily basis across the globe to use their ScanNCuts (and other electronic cutters) via online live streams as well as having written 4 books (available on Amazon). I have now been working in the design industry for 20 years.
Crafting areas of interest: cardmaking, scrapbooking, digital crafting, planners, mixed media, fashion illustration, fantasy art and jewelry making traditional arts: painting (watercolor and acrylics especially), drawing, photography.

Patty Tanúz - Designer
Hi! I am a Mexican art and computer teacher, professional, wife and mother of 2: Hassive & Alberto, I call them My Tattishos hehehe :))) My passion for art includes painting, drawing, music, photography and of course scrapbooking and card making. Taking pictures is something I’ve enjoyed since I was a little girl (and even today). I am the photographer of the family .... If my lens does not capture what my eye sees and feels, then the picture is not right. I’ve always been a scrapper, without knowing it was really scrapbooking. All my life I had a diary, and that's where I "practiced" my craft with materials that my mother gave me such as little buttons, pins, bits of cloth, etc. I love to create and capture the great moments of my life in my scrapping work... People say that my style is characterized by a number of techniques and details that I apply on my cards and pages.... I love to make paper crafts and several crafts too!!! Kisses for all :)

Susie Bentz - Designer
I am a lifetime crafter living outside of Washington DC. My kids are (mostly) adults so when I am not hiking the local battlefields with my (very understanding) husband I spend a lot of time in my craft room. I find myself inspired by the material I am working with so a project could be soft and sweet, grungy and inky, or fun and funky! I love trying new techniques and products and incorporating them in my projects. I share my crafty adventures in my classes and on my blog. I invite you to find and follow me here:
