~Aj~
Hello I'm Aj.

I'm 40, Married to a wonderful guy, mother to 4 children & soon to be a grandmother. I live on the Island of Fair Isle in the Shetland islands which is the UK's most remote inhabited island.
I have been crafting for as long as I can remember & run a crafting related business working with paper crafts & contemporary textile pieces. I love making cards & scrap LO's, I'm at my most content when I'm working away in my studio.I'm looking forward to my time with Die Cut Diva's & I'm sure we're going to have lots of fun !

~Patty~
Hi! My name is Patty a.k.a. Creative Diva. I love to scrapbook and make handmade cards. I bought my very first Personal Cricut Machine about a year ago. Now, my wonderful husband who understand my love for crafting bought me the new Cricut E2. I started a blog about four months ago to be able to share and display my creative projects, but also to meet other wonderful people who share the same passion that I do which is Crafting
~Georgiana~
My name is Georgiana and I am a 5th grade teacher in Central Florida. I live with my husband and two children. My son will be 17 years old and my daughter just turned 13. I have a dog, Molly, who just loves any and all attention. I started making cards last year and have become totally addicted. I enjoy using a variety of papers, cartridges, and embellishments. Meeting fellow crafters puts a smile on my face because I know there are other people who love crafting as much as I do.

~Linette~

Well what can I say about me... I'm Linette, originally from Puerto Rico. Married at 18, had my first child at 20, never had a true 21st birthday, had my second child at 21. I have a dog named Tsuki, and a cat named Zin. Take care of my 79yr old grandfather. Do all my crafty stuff at night....
~Suzanne~
I enjoy making unique and creative pieces of artwork for myself and for my loved ones.  I believe there is no better gift than a gift from the heart.  The love, thought and intention that is put into a project says more than words or a store bought gift can say. I also enjoy working with others to create special artwork for them.  Whether they keep the artwork for themselves or use them as a gift; it is a wonderful opportunity to share my design and ideas with others.  Personalized artwork may be made at a very reasonable cost.

~Giselle~
My name is Giselle and I live in Tampa, FL. I'm a young 22 year old mommy of 1. I have had an interest in art since I was little but only started gearing towards crafting about 3 years ago. I started scrap booking when I got married to my sweetie. Ever since then I wanted to learn more and more. I get such enjoyment in creating things for others. Although I'm not very experience yet, I can see myself grow every day. I love to have a challenge set goal for the week. This would be a great opportunity for me to grow my skills.

~Jessica~
I'm fairly new at blogging but have been paper crafting for years.  I'm really starting to get more familiar with my Cricut and other tools.  I am a 34 year old stay at home mom to 3 wild and crazy boys.  I've been married for 9 years to a wonderful man.  Aside from scrapbooking I enjoy watching and playing sports, camping with my family just having fun with my friends.

~Yvette~



Hello everyone! My name is Yvette, Cre8tiveVet in the blog world. I live in Southern California and have been crafting since I was very young. My grandmother taught me how to crochet, paint, draw, and sew. I had so much fun learning from her. In high school I took as many art classes as I could. I started scrapbooking when I was in college and have made many albums since. Last summer my sister introduced me to Operation Write Home and I was instantly hooked on making cards for our troops and my family. I love making cards and refuse to buy $5 "Hallmark" or any other brand name cards. I have a great husband who doesn't mind my obsession with all things crafty and even helped me convert the guestroom into my craft room 5 months ago. This is my first time being on a design team and I am so excited! Mistyrose invited me to be part of her International friends blog hop in March and now I am happy to be on this DT with her.



For this special summer bonus of Diva Designers has a reward for 2 Summer Bonus Round Winner....One winner will recieve 2 Tim Holtz Clear Stamps and a box of collected paper and embellishments. Can't wait to see your summer projects.....
