Barbara Rankin
My name is Barbara Rankin, and I am thrilled to be a part of The Robin's Nest Design Team for a third term. I have been a crafter since early childhood... always making things. After pursuing many different artistic endeavors, such as sewing, needlework, and Pergamano (embossing on parchment), I found my way into rubber stamping and graduated into becoming a self-taught, mixed-media artist. I have taught classes at my local scrapbook store, as well as teaching the members of my local stamp club. I have also been a guest instructor at another out-of-state stamp club on several occasions. I love making cards, tags, ATCs (Artist Trading Cards), as well as making and altering books and mini albums. My style is usually vintage or shabby chic, with a sprinkling of steampunk whenever possible. I am also currently a design team member for Sin City Stamps and Creative Paperclay®. I have been published in Altered Arts Magazine, as well as in a book "Make it in Minutes: Mini Books". I was also recently published in the Just Steampunk Volume II magazine. I have a wonderful, supportive husband of thirty years, and we share our home with our two cute little Yorkie fur babies, Chloe and Zoe.

Dawn Mercedes Barrett is a designer who enjoys juggling a number of activities. Whether it is creating a card or object for home decor, whipping up a batch of fresh cookies for kids that drift through the house, or learning to enjoy the rigors of strengthening her body through running, she is your go-to crafter for help, ideas, and encouragement. Who says you (or your style) have to grow old and moldy? Dawn's up beat style and silly comments will keep you smiling and chuckling. See more via her blog: Sunnyside Up...or her Facebook page, of the same name.

I'm Marilia, mother of Gabriel and Marina, married to Peter. I am an extremely passionate about life and people, adorooo life stories. I'm electric, anxious in the extreme and I talk too much!
I live in a town called Paraisópolis, located in southern Minas Gerais, where the fresh airand nature are present in my daily life I am a woman who likes simple things!
I've always done crafts from menina.Sei ... do a bit of everything!
I found the comment to three years and it was love at first sight!
The wealth of materials associated with our memories and our stories have made the comment my favorite hobby. Ja made mini albums, I'm crazy about recycling! The idea of transforming what was going to waste on something different and beautiful ... fascinates me.
I live a different life, I live in a town with my son and my husband and my daughter in another.
Every week there are people who stay and people go!
The comment is a way to relax that became a passion.
I only brought good things ... wonderful friends! "

Ro Donner
Hello, my name is Ro Donner and I am an addict. Yes, I am addicted to paper, my Silhouette Cameo, Cricut, rubber stamping and all things crafty.

I am a married mom of three grown children, four furry kids, and three grandpuppies. And a happy "Gammy" to Kaileigh Jo who turned 3 in April, and Koralee Rose who was born in October last year. And since my oldest son will be getting married next year, I will also get to be gramma to two boys, Zachary and Christian.

My small craft room is where I practice my "addictions". It's where I have my "therapy". And it's where I go to hide from the world and immerse myself in the pleasantries of crafting.

I have had several cards published in Stamp and Scrap Arts Magazine and Just Cards Magazine, and will keep on submitting more cards (and keeping my fingers crossed!). I have also been a guest designer for Getting Cricky and Drunken Stampers Challenge. There is nothing that makes me feel more artistically validated than being published or featured. So naturally I was thrilled to be chosen for the Design Team for Fantabulous Cricut. And in from July - December, I will be on the Design Team for The Robin's Nest! I am so excited to be part of this wonderful group and can't wait to share!

Who knew my love of those little dew drops would one day land me on the Robin's Nest design team which I'm so excited to be a part of!!! I live in Tennessee and have the most wonderful husband, Greg, who is very supportive of my creative habit and one son, Zach, who is 24 years old .

Ever since I was old enough to hold a crayon, I have been creating. I have won various awards for drawing, from elementary school and into college. I have pervious designed for the Vintage Heartfelt Designs and Crafty Card Gallery Design Teams.

I discovered scrapbooking 15 years ago which evolved into paper crafts which lead to altering/up cycling found objects. I love to learn and share ideas with people. My style is shabby chic with vintage and a little bit of whimsy thrown in for good measure.

Bev Code
I am a retired, daughter, wife, mother of 2 boys with families and Grandmother to their 4 kids. I was a late starter to Scrapbooking but with family and friends as subjects to my pages along with vacations, sports, heritage photos and everyday experiences it keeps me pretty busy with a craft that I love. I make single and double pages, mini albums, cards, altered items and even a few ATC's... along with dabbling with digital copic coloured images and digital scrapbooking and I love making sketches. I have lots of fun video tutorials on youtube because as I learned new things I like to share my easier version of them so others can learn too. I am always looking to learn something new and try it even if only once.

I also enjoy time at the cottage in the summer months and winter in Florida when it's cold and snowy.

Needlepoint, reading, doing suduko puzzles are a few things I also love to do.

I am super excited to be here and hope to inspire you with Robin's Nest product.

I would love for you to visit my blog anytime and say hello. BLOG : http://beeceecreativity.blogspot.com/

Lyneen Jesse from Bremerton, WA

I am honored to have the opportunity to work with the talented members of the Robin’s Nest Design Team. I live with my understanding spouse of 13 years in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We have one precious fur baby, Lilly. I began creating during my youth with my siblings under the guidance of our mother, making gifts for grandparents. Mom always kept a "make it box" with art supplies. My medium of choice is paper. I love ephemera, vintage embellishments and pattern paper. Did I mention pattern paper? My love of it may be out of control! Like many I found other mediums to work into paper crafting and my style has evolved over time. Assemblage, altered art and vintage have become some of my favorites. I teach classes at local shops; there are three pieces of advice I like to pass on to my students, “There’s no right or wrong way to create!” "You never make mistakes, only opportunities." and “You are your own worst critic!” In my spare time you will find me in craft stores, antique or thrift shops, yard sales and auctions always on the hunt for old paper, buttons, lace, ephemera and anything else that might be useful in future projects! I have been published in several issues of Rubber StampMadness, Take Ten, Stampers Sampler, West Sound Home&Garden, The Best of Stampington & Company HandCrafted Vol.7, JUST Steampunk and most recently in JUST Steampunk Vol. 2. You can find more of my art on my blog http://dreamingofcastles.blogspot.com/

I started out with making flower arrangements and then moved onto quilting. The last 5 years I have been paper crafting, starting out with layouts and minis, I have now moved into altering items. I don't really have a style but love to create shabby chic and I love vintage. I am always up for a challenge when it comes to creating. I love to create beautiful things!
