...New DT ladies

Good morning folks! I have super exciting news to share today!! We have new DT ladies joining us! I am beyond excited and absolutely pinching myself that these three ladies have graciously agreed to join  our team!! I can't tell you how many hours I have spent poring over their blogs, picking up hints and tips and just in sheer admiration. I have unashamedly stalked these ladies at all hours of the day and night and  I can't tell you what it means to me to have these girls join our team.It is my pleasure and privilege to welcome Becca Feeken, Clare Buswell and Kelly Schirmer!!!!


I'm sure you guys are very familiar with all these ladies, but if not, take a moment to get to know the girls and even pop by their blogs to welcome them!!

Becca Feeken

I picked up my first stamp catalog in 1995 and have not looked back since.  Crafting since I was a young girl, the fabric of my life has always been formed by sewing, knitting, crochet, cross stitch, stamping and other paper crafts.  At the top of the list I’m a bit of a paper junkie and find myself mesmerized by any type of paper and all the possibilities of engineering it.  

My inspiration comes from a passion for the craft and my signature is using things in an unexpected way.  The accomplishment of giving a custom, handmade item with a healthy dose of care and a dash of my own personality led to blogging, several design teams, being published in craft books and satisfying therapy as a freelance designer.  Several years ago I left the corporate world and constant travel, where I was a Network Engineer.  

Now that I’m at home, it’s crafting every day and using all the treasures I’ve collected over the years. I currently reside in Florida with my three kids, and all college students living locally, I’m blessed beyond measure with a supportive family, who are willing accomplices in my crafty life.

Clare Buswell

Hi, I'm Clare Buswell! I live in a small village called Athea in the south-west of Ireland with the love of my life Niall and our beautiful daughter Isabelle. Isabelle is four and has just started school. (She loves to 'borrow' little crafty bits from me and make her own cards too!)

I've always been creative in some form or another, I have a passion for painting and I've tried lots of different crafts over the years. I love quilling and making my own embellishments. I studied graphic design at art college. I only discovered stamping after the birth of my daughter when I had little time for painting but longed to be creative. Card making was the perfect answer for me as it satisfied all my creative needs. I design regularly for Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine in the UK. I also run card-making workshops in my local craft shop.

I love Waltzingmouse Stamps, Claire's attention to detail is amazing and I love how she packs so many elements into each set! I've really enjoyed being a Mischief Maker and I was over-the-moon when I was asked to join the WMS design team.  All I can say is that it's a dream come true!

Kelly Schirmer

I have been married to my husband Jason for 10 years, and we have 2 beautiful daughters Eva (7) and Claire (almost 6). We live in a little town called Avon, in upstate New York.  I am a Speech-Language Pathologist, working with children ages birth to five in their homes.  

I started stamping in 2002, but really became addicted to the hobby in 2007 when I joined SplitcoastStampers.com.  I have previously worked on the Pink Persimmon Creative Team and with the A Muse Studio Catalog contract team.  I discovered Waltzingmouse Stamps shortly after the first release.  After purchasing the Earth Angel set, there was no turning back for me!  I have loved being a Mischief Maker, and am positively thrilled to be a new member of this Design Team!


Phew! If you have managed to digest our big news, then I will send you off on a little trail!! We are showing samples today made with one of this releases sets, "A Cottage Home" It's a sister set to the one I sneak peeked the other day....
