Wendy Hall - Illustrator
Hi there, my name is Wendy (otherwise known as Louby Loo in the creative world). I have been trained in Graphic Design and for a few years now have enjoyed making my own cards and different creations. I have spent most of my life creating all aspects of designs, professionally they were mostly technical. I am now enjoying being able to share with you my illustrations and hope you will all have fun with them. The most enjoyable part for me about illustrating is seeing my creations come to life through your fabulous works. So please don’t ever stop sending me them!! If there is any designs you would like to see please leave a comment with your ideas!!

I've been scrapbooking for 11 years and card making for 1 year.When I'm not paper crafting I like to decorate, cook and I also love flower arranging. I used to read a lot especially soppy romances but now I only read on vacation! I love the internet and blogging and I love the fact I can have friends for years that I've never met!

Audrey - Senior Groups Coordinator I am Audrey Ernst, SAHM of 4 children ages 6-11 and 2 furry dogs. I have been crafting for well over 20 years. I started doing scrapbooks before there were the vast amount of resources available today. I used to use construction paper, rubber cement and fun-tak! I later discovered Creative Memories, which I sold for 6 years and also made jewelry and sold batik clothing. 6 years ago, when my 4th child was born, I realized that I no longer had time for my business, so I closed up shop and found the joys of card making and everything that goes with it. I am now addicted to Digi Stamps and love every minute of working on the DTs of which I am a part. I'm so excited to work with Digital Delights and Wendy's amazing images:)

Carol - Designer
Hi, my name
is Carol (AKA Caz) and I live in the UK, but spend a lot of time working abroad
with my job. I have a very understanding partner who knows how much crafting
means to me as it helps me de-stress after working long hours with my job. I
miss him very much when I am away, so its always nice when I am at home and I
really enjoy the weekends, even if it means shopping for craft items, clothes,
shoes, bags and anything else that takes my fancy. I am so excited to be
joining the design team at Digital Delights.
I started
crafting in 2010 and really enjoy it. I love anything to do with art and
originally studied it at collage before I embarked on my degree in business
studies. I am always at my PC, or iPad either blogging, sketching in graphic
programs or just searching the net looking at different creations.
I love all things pink and I have to try and stop myself from making pink cards all the time. I have a room which has been converted into a craft room which is jam packed full and always needs tidying. I sell all of my cards to raise money for charity and have a number of outlets that sell them for me. I hope you will find inspiration from my projects.

Frances - DesignerActually living in Kissimmee, Florida "The land of Mickey" , but lived and worked in the Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico.....I have been crafting all my life, but cardmaking has become my passion a few years ago. Have a circle of friends that share my hobby, and we like to get together for scrapbooking and copic coloring of digital or rubber stamps. Most of all I love coloring with Copic Markers, and using a lot of elements on my cards, to give dimension and texture. Started bloging last year, when my BFF helped me get started, and have been passionate about that since then. This has ggiven me the opportunity to meet wonderful people. My blog is: Be Creative Be You. I love reading all the comments I receive, and it is amazing to see how many people come and visit me from all parts of the world.
Joey - DesignerI have always enjoyed all things art and history and I have been crafting since 2005 and havent looked back since. I find colouring up images very theraputic. Since finding Digital Images my wooden stamps rarely see light now, I love the fact you can do pretty much what you like with a digi.
I live in London UK with my hubby and 3 kiddies, ages 10 soon to be 11, 7 and 1.I am a SAHM, My Son Niall is Autistic so that keeps me on my toes much of the time!!!
I am so excited to be part of such a talented team :)

Nancy - Designer
Hello everyone, my name is Nancy Dawes and I am very excited to be joining the design team here at Delightful Challenges.
I love crafting of all kinds, especially working with the incredible variety and textures of paper products available today. I started collecting stamps and making cards over 20 years ago when there were only a few companies offering stamps, and digital images were not even a possibility. What I like best about digital images is that I can download them right away and get started making a new creation. I don’t have to wait!
I am passionate about many things; my family, my relationship to God, and my many crafting pursuits. I am a wife of 34 years to a great guy who supports all that I do. I have four grown children and five wonderful grandchildren.
While I live on Vancouver Island British Columbia, I am a born and bred American from California. Don’t be surprised if you see a little of my patriotic nature come through on my design team submissions.

Larelyn - Senior Designer
Happy Crafting, everyone. I'm Larelyn, the senior citizen of this wonderful design team. I began papercrafting after I retired. I was a teacher, curriculum and instruction coach, and literacy consultant for 37 years. I loved every minute of it, but now I'm loving this new direction my interests have taken me. I purchased a Cricut in 2008 so that I could make albums to commemorate my daughters' collegiate sport and academic careers. I loved doing those albums, but after spending time on the messageboards, I discovered the amazing world of cardmaking. The guest bedroom quickly became a craft room and the true journey began. When I began blogging last year, I was introduced to so many wonderful designers and began exploring new techniques to add to my repertoire. I'm the type of person who wants all the tools, all the supplies, all the papers! I really just want it all. My poor, yet supportive husband thinks I'm having an affair with the UPS driver! In wanting it all, I found Copic markers and, then, digital images. I guess it all goes back to being a kindergarten teacher, I love to color.
When I first began papercrafting I joined the Cricut Card Fairies. We've sent cards to hundreds of people over the last 2 years, trying to bring joy, comfort, and encouragement into the lives of others. It's a wonderful group of crafters and I'm still very involved. I believe it gives added purpose to the joy I feel as a papercrafter.
I am so excited to be a part of Delightful Challenges. I truly believe that entering challenges and striving to become a design team member pushes you to become a more skilled crafter and helps you find your personal style. My style, although I experiment with different ideas and techniques, is quite straightforward. I love clean llines and finding the perfect papers to accentuate my design. I love adding dimension - more through layering papers than adding embellishments - but I do love ribbon and a little bling here and there.

Ciska - Designersouth of the Netherlands, together with my husband and several fish. I
started paper crafting in 2010 because I just wanted something to do after
work that was both creative and productive. I was literally hooked from
the start. In no time at all, I had a whole room full of crafty goodies,
I'm sure you know how that goes! I have a special weakness for pretty
designer paper (especially glittered or double-sided), the one thing I can
never resist buying. I am very exited to be a member of the Delightful
Challenges DT,it will be a lot of fun I reckon! I can't wait to see what
kind of challenges there are in store :)

Judith - Designer
Hi my name is Judith, I’m married to my
childhood sweetheart Dean and on the coast in the north
east of England. I have 3 children
Alison (28) ,Matthew (24) and Thomas (20), I’m also Grandma to Alison’s
gorgeous baby boy Jacob born in December 2011.
I am owned by a loopy yellow Labrador
called Glenn who walks me every day and now have only one cat my beloved
Barney, a British shorthair who was the very first kitten that I bred when I used to breed cats several
years ago -he is now 17 years old . I work part time as a government employee
and have a busy home life. My youngest
son Tom is physically disabled by cerebral palsy and I support him through his
university work acting as scribe and reader for his course work. I have been making cards for around 6 years
now and spend all my spare time colouring, cutting and sticking – at least
that’s the way my husband sees it! My
other passion is spending as much time as I can in our holiday home in Florida
(near to Disney naturally!), we have had it for 7 years and it is adapted for
our son which makes holidays so much easier, I run a website and rent the house
to other disabled people for holidays - so there’s something else that keeps me
busy……! I’m just thrilled to bits to be
part of such a talented design team.

Hi my name is Susan Flynn I have recently retired and live in Blackpool England with my husband. I have two children and one gorgeous grandson. Now that I have retired I am able to indulge my love of crafts and start to use some of the stash that I have collected whilst I was working. Actually that was my intention but it is really difficult to use stash, much easier to buy more stash!! I love card making and particular stamping and have just discovered the freedom that digital stamps can give plus you don’t have to wait for the postman to deliver them!!
