Crafter of the Week - Jo

Jo

Our crafter this week is the very talented Jo!  Jo is from the good ol' US of A where she lives with her best friend and husband of thirty years.  She previously worked in the medical field but now focuses her efforts on Design Teams and Through the Craftroom Door.

 Jo has been a crafter since she was ten years old!  She loves to create and see the smile on someone's face when they receive something that she's crafted as a gift.  In addition to paper craft, she cooks, sews, makes wreaths and does other crafts.  

Jo says that her favorite part about MayzyArt stamps is the action put into them and the look of their hair.  She says that the images are just plain fun to create with!  Thanks Jo!

Crafter of the Week - Darlene!

Continuing with another of the MayzyArt Design Team members, this week's featured Crafter is...

Darlene

Darlene is from Ayr, Ontario Canada.  She has been married for ten years and currently stays home with her daughters, Abigail (9) and Hailey (8), and her Mal-Shi puppy, Puddles (can I get a round of 'Aww'?).  She is also a Certified Youth and Child Counselor!

You may also know Darlene as 'Minnie' on account of her unique, animated voice. It's so distinctive that she was once recognized by her grade five teacher in Walmart- when she was 40 years old!  In addition to paper craft, Darlene runs half-marathons and attends Precept Bible Study.  Her Bible is her most prized possession.  

Darlene has been crafting for about 6 years now and is wild about Copic coloring!  She says that MayzyArt stamps are, "All so adorable and so much fun to color!"  

Check out Darlene's always fun creations at her website: Scrappy Dues

I.Y.A.D.W.Y.A.D.Y.A.G.W.Y.A.G!

Crafter of the Week - Lisa!

Good Morning!

Today I'm excited to introduce the MayzyArt Crafter of the Week!  Each Wednesday I will feature one of you talented people so that we can all get to know each other a little better.  Instructions are available at the end of this post if you'd like to be featured as a future Crafter of the Week.  I hope to see you here soon!

This week's Crafter of the Week is...

Lisa

That's right, it's our own Lisa from the MayzyArt Design Team!

Lisa is from beautiful Leicestershire in England,  next to rolling fields and lots of farms.  She's been married to her best friend for 3 years and, while they have no children, she is from a big West Indian family, so there's always a niece or nephew she can borrow if she wants to see the latest Disney release at the cinema.  She works 2 days a week for a government agency, but she assures me that she's not a spy!

Lisa is a Sci Fi freak! Her favorite show of all time was Stargate SG1 and she's still upset that it got cancelled.  She likes to watch Stargate DVDs while she crafts, but she also loves Dr. Who, Torchwood, Continuum, Star Trek and really anything remotely Sci Fi related.  Beam her up, Scotty!

In her free time (that's not spent on papercraft) Lisa likes to loom knit, read, cook, and spend time with her Schnoodle, Meadow.  She's also learning to sew.  She loves to craft because she feels like she has become a much more chill person since she started making cards.  She finds something theraputic about turning ideas in her head into actual, tangible items.  She also loves all the wonderful people in the craft community.  It's like having a load of good friends that she's never actually met.

About MayzyArt Stamps, she says, "The quality is consistently high.  You can spot a MayzArt stamp a mile off!  They're also a dream to color and there's always a new release, so it keeps the inspirational momentum going."  Thanks, Lisa!

Go visit Lisa now at her website, papercraftbliss!

Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently.  You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.  ~Maya Angelou

MayzyArt Frequently Asked Questions

The Shop

• How will I receive my stamps?
• As soon as payment has been confirmed for your order, you should receive an email with a link to immediately download your stamp(s).  You will be able to download this stamp up to three times, though you may save it to your computer and use it indefinitely.  This download link should never expire.
• How do I enter a discount code?
• Click here for a tutorial.
• Will you ever make a stamp with a picture of _____________?
• I am open to suggestions for new stamps!  If you have a stamp idea, please make a post here.  Please note that I cannot guarantee that all stamps will be created or that you will see your stamp soon after making your suggestion.  I usually have a mental list about four miles long of stamps that I would like to make, so it may take some time.  :o)
• I would like a custom stamp with an image of my daughter/dog/etc.  Do you do that?
• I am open to discussing the option of a personalized stamp utilizing the image of your choice.  Pricing would start at $30 for a single image (one person, animal, etc) with $10 for additional images.  This would be a personal stamp that would belong only to you and would never be offered in my shop.  If you would like to suggest a general stamp that would be offered in the shop, please see the preceding question.  If you would like to discuss the possibility of ordering a personal stamp, please contact me at mayzyart@gmail.com.  Please be sure to put in the subject line "PERSONAL STAMP ORDER" so that I won't accidentally delete it!
• IMPORTANT: Contacting me about a personal stamp order does not guarantee that I will accept the commission!  I know my limitations as an artist and if I do not feel that I would be able to provide you a quality product, I will regretfully decline.  Additionally, please be aware that I reserve the right to refuse a commission that would be contrary to my values (ie nudity, blatant sexuality, or anything that condones hate or disrespect for another living being). 

The Blog

• What is the MayzyArt Challenge?
• The MayzyArt Challenge is a fun stamp challenge that runs every two weeks on Saturday.  Winners are announced the preceding Friday.  You can enter any papercraft project that you've created, provided it fits the theme for the week,  It doesn't need to use a MayzyArt stamp, though only a project using a MayzyArt stamp can be selected for the grand prize. 
• There are two ways to win the MayzyArt Challenge.  The first prize winner is selected at random from all participants and will receive three MayzyArt stamps of their choice.  The grand prize winner is personally selected by Mayzy and will receive five MayzyArt stamps of their choice, as well as being featured for the next two weeks!
• How can I join the MayzyArt Design Team?
• At this time, the MayzyArt Design Team is not looking for new members.  If we have a vacancy, an announcement will be made on the MayzyArt blog with instructions to apply.  The best way to join is to keep checking back at the MayzyArt blog!
