Challenge 69 - Have a Sentiment on the Front

Hi Stampers! Welcome to the Loves Rubberstamps Blog Challenge! 

Before we get started we would like to share a couple of our new Design Team Members Bios!

Joni Mastronardi

Hi, I am Joni. By day I teach 5th grade, although I love my "real" job, I also enjoy many other activities. I am addicted to stamping and scrapping. My favorite techniques would be coloring with copics and paper piecing.I just can't get enough of papers, stamps and embellishments. I love it all.My darling husband ignores my addiction to this hobby. My craft room runneth over!  I also love playing golf, exercising and walking my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.  I have two married daughters, two fabulous son in laws, and best of all , two grandchildren, who are the most adorable kids on the planet. I love keeping busy with my family, pets and hobbies.

Nicole Nastali  

I am a former kindergarten teacher who is now a stay at home mom to my 2 little girls.  My hubby is supportive of all my crafty pursuits and that says a lot about him because I love all kinds of crafts from making headbands, bows, & designing dresses to making party favors and now cards!! I love to get crafty with my girls and let them color images right along side me.  It's a fun hobby for us all to share!! I'm thrilled to be joining the Love's Rubberstamps Team where I can use all of my favorite brands with this group of fabulously talented ladies.
