    • Beth | Design Team Tribute Week

      Posted at 6:31 pm by Stacy Tiedemann
      Dec 13th

      We were delighted to have Beth join us in May, it feels as though she’s been a part of the team for a long time. She fit right in with us, perfectly.  

      Beth is the Queen of using up her stash and prides herself on making all kinds of different types of paper crafted projects. She’s a master of paper!  There isn’t anything she can’t make out of paper.  She’s fantastic at thinking of unique and one of a kind projects. 

      She also has a successful business of her own, Bourbon Creek Crafts, making lots of different types of crafts. 

      It was a pleasure getting to know her and an absolute joy working with her. I wish her all the best. 

      Hugs,

      Stacy

      From Teresa:

      Beth is another customer turned Design Team member… I happened upon her YouTube channel doing a search for Scrapping for Less kit videos…well, I was hooked immediately! Not on just her Scrapping for Less kit video but all the other content on her channel. Let’s just say she does not put out a video I do not take the time to watch. I asked her to guest design in January of this year and then pretty quickly decided we needed her talents on our time. 

      Beth, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your talent with us. I am looking forward to continuing to work with you this year on a different level.

      Here are a few our our favorite projects from Beth:

    • Crystal | Design Team Tribute Week

      Scrapping for Less has been blessed with Crystal’s talent, loyalty and friendship for many years. Besides myself, she has been on the team the longest. She joined us when Scrapping for Less just started the Flavor of the Month Card Kit and the online store. She’s been a source of stability and consistency all this time. There’s been no bigger cheerleader for SFL than Crystal. 

      She has designed several stamp sets that were featured in the card kits. She also took over running the Facebook Show n Share group.  She designs card sketches and challenges for that group.  She’s worn many hats over the years to which we are eternally grateful. 

      Crystal is a super sweet person with an incredible talent. We have been blessed to have her in the Scrapping for Less family.  Personally I will miss working with her tremendously. I wish her all the luck and best wishes in her future crafting journey. 

      Love and hugs,

      Stacy

      A few kind words from Teresa:

      I “met” Crystal through a post on Stamp Junkies…she was looking for someone to do something as a graphic designer. I was just getting into that because of SFL so I reached out to here. She was a joy to work with then and has been a joy to work with ever since.

      I have had the pleasure to watch her talent grow and see her work blossom. I have also had the immense privilege of having her design stamps for Scrapping for Less. I am thrilled that I had such a wonderful opportunity to work with such a talented lady. Crystal, I will forever be in your corner!

      Hugs,

      Teresa

    • Kimberly | Design Team Tribute Week

      Posted at 7:51 pm by Stacy Tiedemann

      Where do I start?  Lol. Kim is a hoot!  I’ve known Kim since the beginning of Scrapping for Less. We’ve been on 3 trips together to attend Creativation in Phoenix.  She’s a super sweet, fun and carefree person.  

      During the pandemic Kim, Teresa and I have FaceTimed an average of a couple of times a week. We generally chat and craft together, making cards. We love to follow and recreate other artist’s sketches of our favorite collections and come up with original designs ourselves. 

      It’s been ay real joy to get to know her and I consider her a dear friend. 

      Hugs,

      Stacy

      This has to be the hardest tribute to write. As some of you may know Kim was my business partner for a while in SFL…Amazing times! But I want to share the memory of when she decided it was time for her to step down. We have this little saying between the two of us “brutal honesty” which simply means we can tell each other anything. I could sense she was needing to step down but she didn’t want to tell me…so I asked, Brutal Honesty? NOTHING can damage this friendship if you want to step back ok? Well, it just so happened that was the trigger she was waiting for. So, although Kim has not been a partner for the last year and a half she has been a valued Design Team member!

      There are so many examples of her loyalty and dedication I could pull from. She is absolutely the best friend and I am very thankful that she exists in my life!

      I Love you to the Moon and Back!

      ~Teresa

    • Luci | Design Team Tribute Week

      Posted at 5:31 pm by Stacy Tiedemann
      Dec 9th

      Today is Wednesday which means it’s Luci’s day!  This awesome lady is wonderful at making fancy folded and interactive cards.  Her cards are beautifully made and are stunning to look at. 

      One thing I can say about Luci is that she is dependable and steadfast. You can always count on her!  

      I’m so sad that I never got to meet her in person. Maybe someday.   I wish her lots of luck and good things in her future.

       It was a pleasure working with her.  ~Stacy

      Now a few words from Teresa:

      Luci has been a constant with the Scrapping for Less Flavor of the Month kit. She was another Design Team member that went from being a customer to a designer. I saw her talent right away.

      One thing I want to say about Luci is she has always been eager to step up and go above and beyond. She carried the “Revisiting the Kit” series on our channel solely until another design team member stepped up to join her. She also stepped up and helped with the Christmas All Year long series.

      Dependable and extremely talented woman right there!!! Thank you so much for all of your dedication and support Luci!

      Crafty Hugs, Teresa

      Let’s start Stacy’s tribute off by hearing what all the Design Team as she affectionately calls “the girls” And oh is she fiercely protective of them!

      Let me start off by saying that anyone that know Stacy knows she is a Doodlebug fanatic and loves everything about them. It was such a pleasure to be able to see her meet the people behind the company and to be able to see their lovely set up!

      Stacy and her Doodlebug fix!

      Christine starts off saying:

      Stacy is such an inspiration. Not only is she talented but she is one of the kindest and most generous people I have met. I loved getting to know her at Creativation 2019 and checking out new products with her and let’s not forget the fun creating make and takes. I absolutely love her take on pattern paper! She always makes me fall in love with paper pads I previously didn’t think too much about. I’m so glad she reached out to me! Not only because she introduced me to SFL but she quickly became a friend who shares my love for card making.

      Beth says this about Stacy: I haven’t known Stacy long but she has been so welcoming and kind to me! And I love her creativity!

      Crystal has these sweet words to say: Stacy is such a sweet, helpful and encouraging person. She has been the absolute greatest Design Team Coordinator… but more than that, she’s become a wonderful crafty friend. I’m so thankful that Scrapping for Less has brought Stacy into my life! I’m always inspired by her creativity and her latest designs for the Create-a-Dex dies made me her biggest fan!

      Stacy designed these for Scrapping for Less! I was so glad I could have her dream come true of designing and producing these!

      Kimberly says these words: Stacy is an amazing design team coordinator! She is devoted to creating a welcoming atmosphere and keeping things running smoothly. Stacy is an incredibly talented designer and card maker. We have been truly blessed to have her as part of our team!

      Luci has the nicest words: Stacy has been an awesome Design Team Coordinator, keeping us up-to-date and reminding us what needed to be done and when. Her paper crafting skills are top-notch and I have so enjoyed viewing her creations each week. Wrangling such a diverse group of crafty souls I’m sure isn’t easy but she has always done it with grace. Thank you.

      Alicia our newest team member says: Stacy has been such a wonderful design team coordinator. She is always there to help with any questions and is great at keeping us up to date on all communications. Not only is she a great leader, she is a wonderful artist as well.

      I am totally blessed to have met this wonderful friend! Stacy has become such a dear friend and I am so glad a little mishap in our Facebook group caused us to come together. She went from being my top customer to a best friend. She loves SFL fiercely and did anything she could to help promote and support this company! I will be super glad when this Pandemic is over so I can travel to Minnesota and love on her and shower that sweet little girl of hers with love as well! Thanks so much Stacy my friend…I am forever grateful that you are such a fabulous friend!

      Stay tuned tomorrow for another tribute!

    • Christine | Design Team Tribute Week

      Posted at 12:00 pm by Stacy Tiedemann
      Dec 7th

      We are starting our last and final week of blog posts for Scrapping for Less. We are taking each design team member and doing a tribute to them on their day of the week.

      I’m sure you have gotten used to seeing Christine Patterson from Pattercrafts post on the Scrapping for Less blog on Mondays so it was just fitting to start the tribute week out with her.

      I’d like to tell you more about this adorable lady. She is just the sweetest and kindest person you could ever meet. Her contagious smile lights up the room! She is very talented and truly enjoys creating beautiful things.

      I came across Christine on YouTube when she first started making videos. She had posted a video about an older Doodlebug collection that she was trying to find. I had an extra paper pad that I then sent to her. After that I told Teresa about her, who loved Christine and her work. Next thing you know she was invited to join the team. We just knew she had a blossoming talent. We feel so honored to have been with her on her journey to grow and develop her skills and her social media presence.

      In 2019 she joined us in Phoenix for Creativation representing Scrapping for Less. It was a super fun week. I got to know Christine during our time paired up together that week.

      I’m super excited to continue to follow Christine on social media. She’s become a great friend and I wish her all the luck in the world.

      Best Wishes,

      Stacy

      Next up, Teresa has some kinds words to share about Christine.

      After Stacy introduced me to Christine I began watching her channel and her SFL kit videos were a big hit with me. I loved how she took the kit and combined it all together to create her last and final cards. It seemed like the right thing to do to invite Christine to join our team when we had an opening.

      Then, it just so happened that Christine and her husband Russ were also going to be attending Kathy Racoosin’s Coloring Road trip at My Favorite Things in Eustis, FL. Kimberly and I were ecstatic we were going to be able to meet our new Design Team Member. What a blast we had that day!

       

      Lunch and a FLIGHT…What a fantastic smile.

      Christine also accompanied us to Phoenix to attend Creativation, our industry trade show. What an adventurous, sleep deprived, team building and life changing amazing week we had.  I am so thrilled and honored that through owning this company I was able to meet such a sweet and
      wonderfully talented person. Christine, I love you girl!

      She was always excited for the next kit!

      Hugs,

      Teresa
