Hello everyone! Welcome to April launch day! Not only do we have fun new products this month, including a new kit: Fringe Frenzy, but we also have a new group of guest designers! Lindsay, Emily & Rebecca will be sharing projects with us each Friday (and today) with the April new release!

Read on to learn more about this months guests, and to see what they've created using our new Fringe Frenzy Kit!

FIRST UP IS LINDSAY LAJOLA @pineapplepaperink:

Here is a bit about Linsday in her own words:

My name is Lindsay Lajola and I live in Portland, Oregon with my husband and pup. I work as a physical therapist and enjoy crafting, hiking, and traveling in my down time. I love the crafting community and getting a chance to be creative whenever I get the chance! I'm super excited to be guest designing for Concord and 9th this month and I hope you can get a little inspiration from my cards!

NEXT UP IS EMILY LOGGANS @letteredandlovelydesigns:

Here is a bit about Emily in her own words:

Hi! My name is Emily Loggans, and I am newly married to my wonderful husband, Stephen (who loves crafting with me!). I am in love with paper and ink, which I can probably attribute to growing up in a family printing business. I am fairly new to papercrafting, but I have quickly fallen in love with cardmaking. It is so much fun to make little pieces of art that I can give away and make someone smile.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS REBECCA LUMINARES @thurston_post:

Here is a bit about Rebecca in her own words:

I live in Southern California with my husband (Arvin) and 2 young children (Augustus & Anemone).My crafting obsession is gift wrap & tags; I love to create my own, but I also enjoy seeing how others turn a plain box into a work of art. I’m an introvert who craves quiet alone time, but I also enjoy being around close friends and my family. I have a vivid and very active imagination, which is a gift and a curse, inspiring both passionate creativity and relentless worry.

For the last 13 years, I’ve been pushing that imagination to focus more on the creative side, and it just might be working! I used to write a lot, using my inventiveness to construct fictional stories, but eventually, that gave way to a new creative endeavor—being crafty! When I began making cards all those years ago, it was apparent that it was more than just a hobby, and while the process of turning it into a full-time job took some time, I’m so happy I get to do what I love every day.

Currently, you can find me on the Pinkfresh Studio, Alexandra Renke International, We R Memory Keepers, and The Stamp Market Design Teams. In addition, I’m the Packaging Ambassador and a Product Designer for Papertrey Ink.
