The Team

Hello.  I'm NanaConnie.  You can find my creative endeavors on my blog, Grammy's Attic.   I am often called a "crazy cat lady" but the truth is that I'm really an animal lover, not exclusively a cat lover.  At the moment, I share my home with two feline fur babies, although it might be more proper to say they have agreed to share their home with me as long as I keep their food and water dishes full and the litter box clean.  In this group, that makes me feel like a piker but I can assure you that another animal will decide to "adopt" our home as their own and the family will increase once again.  

Dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds of all feathers, tropical fish, reptiles, hamsters, white rats, and even an ant farm, have all shared their love with me over the years and, although I do object to uninvited field mice scampering in unexpectedly, I simply can't imagine a home without several of God's loveable critters in it.

My crafting life currently seems to run mostly to card making, but I love painting, sewing, needlecrafts, quilting, scrapbooking, ceramics, altered art, quilling, and even writing poetry.

Hi, I'm Lynn and so excited to be here as one of the designers for 2 Crafty Critter Crazies.  I'm a retired pre-trial probation officer and live in Texas (and no, I don't wear boots and a cowboy hat all the time).  I live with my two critters - Jim, the hubs critter and Rambo,  a four-legged, burst of energy, dachshund critter. 

If you look at my blog, you'll notice I do a LOT of critter cards!  I just can't think of anything cuter than animals and I love them all. I'm looking forward be being part of such a wonderful design team and challenge blog.

  Hello, I am Lori and I LOVE all of God's Critters!!  I have always had dogs, and along the years I have also had a bunny, parakeets, Lorikeet, 2 horses and a cat.  I have a long list of pets that I want to have so I thing the 2 Crafty Critter Crazies is a perfect match for me!!  At the present time we have two rescued Huskies that make me laugh everyday!  I grew up in Brick, NJ in the USA and I have lived  in Toms River, NJ with my wonderful and supportive husband, Wayne, since 2000.  We have two grown daughters, Julie and Jenna and two crazy rescued huskies.  I was introduced to Scrapbooking at a Creative Memories Home Class in 1988 where I fell in love with scrapping!  I was a Creative Memories Consultant for 11 years, and have enjoyed designing for many companies over the years.  I love scrapbooking and making cards. My blog is here:Lori's Kreations.

Hello from Hamilton, New Zealand.  I am Carol Gunn, a lifelong crafter who has tried all sorts of crafts (especially those with fabric and paper) and am lucky enough to have a craft-tolerant husband. We have four children & eight grandchildren, all living in NZ.  I blog about my crafts, so check it out - Creations NZ.

I don’t think I have a particular card making style tending towards the unfussy, although I have been known to go WiLd from time to time and I do like to get inky.  I love challenges and trying new things,  so enjoy being part of such a creative team. Cheers, Carol.

Hello friends!  My name is Vicki Parson and I'm so delighted to be a part of this special challenge team!  I have been a lover of critters ever since I can remember!  I've always been around animals since childhood and I truly believe that they can enrich your life for the better in so many different ways!  As a child growing up surrounded by many types of animals out in the country, I have so many fond memories!  What better way to honor all of those memories with my "animal pals" than to create and share my love of them each month!  

I really enjoy spreading smiles as far as I can and this is just another way for me to share that with you!  If you'd like to see more smiles from me, please visit me on my blog - Stamped Smiles.  I look forward to sharing my critter creations with you and I can't wait to see your creations in the gallery!

Hello!  I’m Patti, and I’m so happy to be here!  

I’m known in the creative circles as Patti J., and my blog is Cherish Each Precious Day. I was introduced to paper crafts 18 years ago. My first teacher is now my best friend! I dabbled for a while, then became hopelessly addicted after retirement.  I enjoy submitting items for publication, and have been lucky to have many of my creations published. 

My husband is an amazing guy, who indulges my creative time, and just spoils me rotten!  We live in rural Missouri and have been married for 46 years. When we travel, he always makes time for me to meet my paper crafting friends in other cities – he’s a keeper!  The ‘boss’ of our home is a little (okay, a little chubby) pound puppy named Sophie. Our two grown children live with their families on the east coast and west coasts. We are blessed with 4 grandchildren ranging in age from 1-5. It’s SO much fun being grandparents! We also have 4 beautiful grand-doggies that can’t wait to see grandma and pawpaw.

At my age, every day is a gift, and I try to “Cherish Each Precious Day”.  My creative style changes daily, so be prepared for whatever comes along! I’m excited to be designing for 2 Crafty Critter Crazies, and look forward to making some new crafty friends!

   Hi there, my name is Karen Page, and I’ve been paper crafting for 15 years. My blog is MisplacedMojo.com because I tend to lose the crafting mojo periodically but tend to find it again when I straighten up the craft room or organize a new pile of goodies! Like many card makers I started scrapbooking but later picked up card addiction. I love techniques, inks, stencils, coloring mediums… you name it!!! I am married to the most supportive guy on the planet, whose woodworking hobby can be just as expensive! I have a son starting college this year and we share our home with 2 incredibly spoiled dogs who are a constant joy. But I don’t discriminate… I love all critters!!! So excited to work with these talented ladies on 2CCC as a guest designer!

Hello! I am Mia.  I am married to a wonderful husband and work as an administrative employee in the public sector in Athens, the capital of Greece.  I love animals and I have canaries, fish, turtles,  and cats. 

Card making and mixed media are my newest hobbies. While I love coloring and making cute, elegant, vintage, or romantic paper crafts, I often use non traditional colors or try different styles and techniques. 

I am a multi-crafter and enjoy painting, sewing, stitching, crocheting, making jewelry and cosmetics. I also love writing poems and taking photos of nature (sky, sea, flowers, trees, and, of course, critters). You may see my creations on my  
                                                      blog,  Craftartista.

Hey my crafty friends! I'm Pam Duncan and I am excited and honored to be a member of 2 Crafty Critters Crazies Design Team. 

I have been involved in crafts all of my life, having been raised in a Christian home by very talented parents who both created many handmade gifts not only at Christmas but throughout the year.  My love for photography and capturing memories naturally turned me to scrapbooking for many years.   Then as my children grew to adults, stamping and card making became more interesting to me.   Now I enjoy a semi-retired life on the shores of Lake Murray in South Carolina.  Crafting and Photography take up a huge amount of my every day life as I am involved in card making for donations, and marketing cards for a design teams, and also local and online sales.  I am a Copic Colorist  and use a wide variety of images as you will see if you would like to visit me at Pam’s Pearls.
