Angie Barrs

Hello everyone! My name is Angi Barrs and I am so happy to be here. I am a busy mom and junior high school teacher. I have two daughters in college. We have so much fun traveling together. Our favorite travel spots are California and Hawaii. I started my blog, Cokie Pop Paper, after family and friends commented on how much they loved my party and gift creations. I enjoy making party favors, home décor, sharing gift ideas, and making Project Life scrapbook pages. I am so happy to design for Little Blue House.
I am also excited that they are based in Texas (my hometown)! Follow me at: http://cokiepopaper.blogspot.com

Nadine Carlier
 
Hello my name is Nadine; I have been scrapbooking for about 18 years now with 12 x 12 layouts and cards being my favorite things to create. Scrapping helps me keep my sanity! I would say my scrappy style would best be described as eclectic but I also love creating grungy pages too. A page just isn't complete to me without some kind of a mist or paint on it. I am so excited to be a part of The Little Blue House Media Team and am looking forward to hopefully inspiring you and also being inspired by you all.

Vicki Chrisman

My name is Vicki Chrisman. I live in Nebraska with my husband and two extremely spoiled dogs. We have two grown sons and a daughter in law. My other interests besides paper crafting are, photography, decorating gardening, canning, Flea Markets and repurposing Thrift Store finds. I am a lifelong crafter but have been active in the Craft Industry for the last 12 years, or so. I enjoy teaching and sharing my love of paper crafting with others. I also love working with new and different products, and trying new techniques. I am so excited to be a part of the talented LBH Team.

 Susan Tidwell

 I am a mixed-media artist living in Ft. Worth with my husband. We have five grown children, two grandsons and two more on the way! I have been crafting all my life but discovered rubber stamping and paper arts over 15 years ago. This interest propelled me into mixed media and art journaling about 5 years ago. I love getting inky, painty and messy. I also love to recycle and reuse old things, giving them new life in my art.  I enjoy inspiring and teaching others and have taught paper arts classes for over 6 years - at The Little Blue House since we opened in 2010 and before that, at Anthologies, Create Joy and Recollections. I look forward to working with the new LBH Media Team!

Cat & Nat aka The Blue Crew

 I’m Cat, let me tell you a little about myself.  I have been married to my wonderful husband Cary since September 2006. He is all kinds of wonderful and I don’t know what I would do without him. I don’t have any kids, but I do have 2 fur babies: Precious is almost 20 and Birdie is 4. They are cats, their moods change daily and that’s about all I can say on that. I have two nieces who are pretty much the most amazing little girls in the history of ever. Miss Makenna is 7 and Maddie Sue is 3--- CANNOT get enough of those girls and you will see plenty of them in my design work. I have the most handsome little nephew named Carter. We like to go on Chick-fil-a dates. I have a best friend that is crazy. I am crazier than her. True story.
I’m Nat and probably the “calmer” and “quieter” one of the Blue Crew duo. I have been married to Jerry for almost 12 years and we have a son, Carter, who is 5. We live in Ft Worth, Texas. While I work outside of the home, I try to take as much time to scrapbook and create as possible.  Cat and I have been friends for over 3 years but if you’ve met us, you would think our friendship spans well beyond that. She’s my looooooobster-friend.
As far as designing goes, both of our design aesthetics lean toward clean, simple lines with lots of layers and textures.  But, our approach to designing couldn’t be more different.  Cat is a Careful Creator and likes to pull all of her supplies, precut and arrange without gluing anything down until everything is ‘just so’.  And as cautious as Cat is, Nat throws that caution to the wind and be more of a Daring Designer. While we create for our own personal benefit, we love to create together as a team.
We are so excited to be part of the LBH Media Team and look forward to working with such a talented group of designers.  We are excited to be challenged and inspired by everyone on the team. I know they will encourage us to reach outside our normal design aesthetic.

Susan Liles

Hi, I'm Susan Liles (otherwise known as susiestampalot online).  I am lucky enough to teach, design and work for The Little Blue House.  I'm also lucky enough to live in North Fort Worth, less than a mile away from there, too!  I'm married to Eric and we have 3 daughters, Shelbie (22), Lindsie (14) and Audrie (11).  I've been crafty ever since I can remember, dabbling in everything from sewing to painting, but really found my passion in paper.  I started scrapbooking 20 years ago, then found a love for stamping and cardmaking.  I've designed and still design for several companies, been selected as Stamping Royalty by Paper Crafts Magazine, served on the Dirty Dozen DT for Splitcoaststampers and have been published several times in various other publications. I'm excited to be joining this team, look forward to inspiring YOU, and hope to expand my crafty horizons even further Follow me at: http://susiestampalot.blogspot.com/
