Our design team is growing again...we want to welcome the amazing and hugely talented Heidi Blankenship!

Welcome Heidi!

You will absolutely love the designs that Heidi will be sharing with us in the near future. Here are a few things Heidi shared with us about herself!

Hello, my name is Heidi Blankenship and I live in Minnesota with my husband Eric and two boys, Dusty and Evan. I have been involved with paper crafting for over twenty years. I was introduced to stamping in 1988 and, over the years, I have taught many classes at the local stamping and scrapbooking stores. I love to create a large spectrum of projects with a broad range of styles, but I lean towards the vintage, artsy style. I've been very fortunate to work with some wonderful companies in the industry. I am currently on the Spellbinders™ Blog Team, JustRite Stampers, Crafty Secrets and SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES By 3L™. I have been published in a variety of national and international magazines, catalog/idea books, newsletters, sales ads and packaging. My design work has also been featured on Scrapbooking Memories, QVC, HSN, Creative Home Arts and Create and Craft TV in the UK just to name a few. I love creating cards, altered arts, home décor, and scrapbooking— traditional and digital. In my spare time I also enjoy spending time with family and friends, photography, floral design, painting, gardening and jewelry making.

I would also like to add a special Thank You to Michele P. and Michele C. for asking me to join the Want2Scrap Design Team!! I was very lucky to meet them at CHA and they are both such wonderful ladies!! I am SO honored and excited to be part of such a wonderful and talented team and what can I say the products are Amazing!!!

I asked Heidi a few questions to get to know her better and this is what she said...

Favorite dessert? I am not big on sweets but I love cheesecake and my favorite is Chocolate Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake with fresh raspberries---Yummy!

Proudest moment? Craft related--having my first card published or seeing my artwork on TV. As far as family there are too many proud moments to count---I love all the little things and the everyday blessings of life.

If you had $100 and could not spend it on scrappy stuff, bills, and only on yourself what would you buy with it? This question made me laugh because anytime I receive a gift of money from my mom and dad, my mom always says---no craft stuff!! I would go shopping for shoes or hit up the local antique/junk shops to see if I could find any good deals.

You can also find Heidi's work on her blog here. Look at these fabulous cards, this is just a sample of Heidi's amazing talent.
