ELFi

My name is Elfi, I am from Austria, I have an adult daughter and have been happily married since 1994. These two people are very important to me! We got married in the USA and I love this country. We have already vacationed there 20 times. I'm retired, have time for my blog and can fully devote myself to my hobby of making cards. Paper is my passion, but I'll try (almost) everything! I work with 2 plotters and I got a laser for Christmas. I like to cook and bake and occasionally crochet amigurumi. I help a friend with workshops and creative fairs and have been learning sign language since March 2024. Finally, I can say that I live a happy life and am looking forward to my new challenge in the design team at 52CCT!

Jill

My name is Jill Marie Giacomo (maiden name VanMeter), I am from a very small town in a very small state in the United States (so small there are people from America that think I am referring to the western part of Virginia when I say I'm from West Virginia). I am 49 years old but not an overly exciting life, a great life just not an adrenaline junkie, lol. I was born and raised here and could not ever see myself leaving.  I have 1 brother, 1 niece and 1 child. My daughter, Britton, is my reason for living!!  She is the most amazing, sweet beautiful little girl ever!!  I was 39 when I had her, I never really wanted children so she was a bit of a surprise, but definitely the best one ever.  She is 10 going on 25, lol, she will be 11 March 19th.  I am married to the best man I have ever known, actually my best friend when were 11 and 12 years old.  He is Britton's step-father as her father died when she was around a year old.  I am a Managing Cosmetologist and a Nurse with around 20 years of floor experience.  I have been a crafter of something for as long as I can remember.  No matter what I was working on at any time, paper crafting was always my favorite, so I have been making cards and other paper crafts longer than anything.

Tracey

Hi I'm Tracey, I live in West Yorkshire UK. I'm married to Neil, I have 2 Adult children and 2 dogs called Mabel and Dexter. I work as a support worker in a day service for adults with learning disabilities and complex needs which I love. I love crafting in my spare time; my main craft is card making, but I do dabble in a bit of mix media craft. I enjoy taking part in different card challenges too.
