New Design Team REVEAL!

Our New Design Team Revealed!

Today I have a very special Announcement - our new Design Team!

Before I reveal who we chose I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who applied. We were amazed at the wonderful talent out there and that so many of you were interested in working with us! We were truly flattered and you always make our choice so difficult!  We would have loved to have picked everyone if we could! We hope that those of you who were not chosen this time around will continue to participate in challenges and apply again next time!

Now, without further ado, I present the new Newton's Nook Designs Team for July through December of 2014!  

We have 5 amazing NEW designers that we added to our team!

We are so excited to have these ladies and can't wait to see what they all create!  Make sure to click through to all of their blogs and tell them congrats and see what else they can do! Some of them even have new projects featuring NND stamps on their blogs today!

I am from a very small town in Northwest Connecticut.. I have been married to my amazing husband for 13 years and we have two beautiful children Mackenzie, 10 and Codey, 8. I have just started working part time after being a SAHM for several years. Living in the country does not leave much to do so hobbies are a must besides crafting I love to read and when the weather is good my family and I love to spend time outdoors!! I also love to spend time on the computer getting inspired. I myself have been blogging for a few years and I love it and love sharing my love for all things crafty. More importantly I love meeting new people this hobby has brought me some amazing opportunities that I am so grateful for!! I cannot wait to share my love for Newton's Nook!!!






Shellye McDaniel
Papered Cottage

Hello, my name is Shellye McDaniel and I'm so excited to be a part of the Newton's Nook Design Team! I live in a small Northeast Texas town with my husband of 23 years and two of our three kids (the oldest is away at college!). I work PRN as a Labor & Delivery nurse and the rest of the time I'm puttering in my craft room, trying new Pinterest recipes, reading on my Kindle or hanging out with family. I enjoy all types of crafting...from scrapbooking to cardmaking and altered crafts...I love it all! I also instruct classes and work as Social Media Coordinator for my local scrapbook store; I love sharing my passion of crafting with others! Please visit my blog at www.shellyemcdaniel.com






Jess Moyer
Jess Crafts

Hello Newton’s Nook fans! My name is Jess Moyer and I’m so excited to be able to work these awesome stamps! I live in central New Jersey and work as a kindergarten teacher. My mom introduced me to crafts at a young age but papercrafting was the one that truly stuck. I’m now an avid stamper and I love to color with a variety of mediums and try out new techniques. My style tends toward clean and cute. You can check out my blog Jess Crafts.







Lydia Brooke Evans
Love Lydia Brooke

My name is Lydia. I live in North Wales, Great Britian with my husband Will and our little ones Archie 4 and Matilda (Tilly) 2. For as long as I can remember I have always been crafting in some way, shape or form. As a little girl my Aunty used to call me 'Sticky Fingers' as I used to love glueing things- mostly really tiny pieces of paper that I never tidied up... ooooppps!

I do all different types of craft but recently card making has become my favourite.. I love all the different techniques and trends that can be incorporated into it too.



Diane Jaquay
Peaceful Lane

My name is Diane Jaquay, and I'm thrilled to be joining the Newton's Nook Designs Team! I live in PA with my wonderful husband, David, and our 2 awesome kids, Connor and Ali. Oh, and I can't forget to mention our sweet little dog Lola! I started paper crafting when my son was born, 17 years ago, documenting all of the wonders of his childhood in scrapbooks. That continued when my daughter was born 4 years later. Several years after that I discovered the joys of stamping, card making, and mixed media, and I've been doing it ever since. My biggest passions in life are my family, my hobbies, and my faith!


Next - We have these amazing ladies continuing on...

These talented girls have "wowed" us with their NND projects over the last six months and we are excited to have them continue on with us!

Tessa Wise

My name is Tessa Wise and I'm so happy to be part of the Newton's Nook Designs Team! I live in Northern Virginia with my husband Jeremy and two little girls, Zoey and Natalie. I love being a mom and have enjoyed staying home with them for the last few years. They are sweet girls and love to craft, just like their mama! I have always enjoyed arts and crafts but none compare to my love of paper crafts! I love to shop for cute stamps, fun patterned papers, and embellishments. I like to use different techniques and also try out different design styles. I share my projects at my blog, CraftyGirl Designs.



Samantha Mann - Newton's Nook Designs - Design Team - January-June 2014
Samantha Mann
Sam's Scrap Candy

Designer & Coordinator

Hi, I'm Samantha Mann and I couldn't be happier to continue for another term with Newton's Nook Designs!! My husband and I have lived all over the US, from Washington State to Florida, but we're currently in hot, humid, coastal South Carolina! We have two little boys (who I usually call my little menn)! I have always been in love with school supplies (ever since elementary school when I would save my nickels to buy cute pencils or erasers!) and that love just grew and developed into my crazy obsession (read: passion!) of paper crafting! I love making cards and even dabble with the occasional scrapbook layout! I tend to lean towards clean and simple design, but not always! I am all about learning new techniques from fellow crafters! I'm definitely quirky, and love to make playful, humorous sentiments for my cards (and layouts)! I work full time for an advertising company and spend every other moment I can paper crafting, reading and enjoying the little moments in everyday family life.

Taheerah Atchia

Hi Newton fans! I'm Taheerah and I'm so thrilled to be staying on the Newton's Nook Designs DT! What better way to combine my love of cats and stamping?!

I'm a 30-plus-a-few Londoner now living in the North West of England with my beautiful cats. I work in IT by day and craft by night! I love all things geeky - having a background in science and working in my profession I guess that can't be avoided! I've always been creative but stamping and cardmaking have truly captured my heart and my imagination. I love experimenting with most styles and am definitely a huge lover of trends. I really thrive on pushing my skills and creative eye to the limit, so my work is frequently packed with techniques, outside-the-box uses of product, and clever details! I hope you'll stop by my blog at http://littlemisst-papercraft.blogspot.com/ and take a further look at my work - I'd love to see you there!

I've been married to my best friend Adam for 8 years, and we have two handsome boys, Beckett (7 years old) and Greyson (11 months)! We live on our family farm, and I enjoy EVERY aspect of living a rural life. I'm a Certified Surgical Technician, but I'm very blessed to be a stay-at-home mom. I enjoy crafting in every way, baking/cooking, gardening, singing, nature and taking photos. I've been a creative soul from birth and really got my start in 4-H (making it to the State Fair was a goal each year - which I did)! I LOVE to stamp and have been doing so for the last 3 years. I LOVE all of the inspiration and the creative people I've found/met online and through other events! I also LOVE to try new techniques and experiment with my supplies! I've made my dream of becoming a published artist a reality and have had my first works published in the CARDS Magazine Nov/Dec issue, with more to follow after that! I have a blog, Larissa Heskett Designs, and I've guest designed and designed for several of my favorite manufactures. I look forward to inspiring you with the AMAZING Newton’s Nook Designs products!! I cannot even begin to explain how HONORED and EXCITED I am to have the opportunity to design with this AWESOME Design Team!!

Crafty Math-Chick
Canines and Card Designs

Hi! I'm Meredith and I am WICKED excited Jen invited me to continue as a member of Newton's Nook Designs team - I am still waiting to wake up and discover it is just a dream... You can probably guess from my use of 'wicked' that I grew up in Massachusetts but I have lived all over the country and move frequently courtesy of my husband's job. We currently reside in the Washington, DC area with our pup Ty who is truly the sun of my solar system and a source of never-ending joy. I am HUGE dog & critter lover, an animal adoption advocate, a mathematics educator and a lover of all crafty things, (thus my online handle 'Crafty Math Chick'), though papercrafting continues to be my favorite. Since cards with cute critters on them are my favorite kind to make you KNOW I am going to have a blast designing with Jen's adorable whimsical images! I am honored and humbled to be a member of this talented group of ladies and look forward to sharing my NND creations with you!

Nash the tuxedo cat and Sidney the mini Dachshund.  I have been crafty all my life from as far back as I can remember I have always been making something.  I dabble in a bit of everything Cards, Layouts, Project Life, Smash books, the list goes on! I am a photographer and work for a local Ford Mustang Restoration business and handle all their advertising, eBay and anything else they throw at me!  When I am not working you can find me getting inky, or riding my Honda Scooter around town!
