Jill

I am a retired 5th grade teacher from central Ohio. I teach yoga, volunteer at a local thrift store, and babysit my new baby grandson. I am working on my last few classes for my Altenew Educator Certification Program. I have always loved art & crafty things and scrapbooked a lot when my kids were young. Jennifer McGuire and Cathy Zielske got me hooked! When I’m not making cards, I love to travel, garden, and read. I recommend books on my bookstagram @readtalkteach and post cards at @makeitwithjill.

My name is Kelli but I go by kel online. I am a happily married mama of 3 boys and 5 furbabies (3 cats & 2 dogs!) working in both the education and travel industries and living in beautiful Hawaii (USA). I love being challenged to work with new things and absolutely love making new friends. Copic coloring, textured cardstock, and pretty patterned papers are my absolute favorites!! So excited to be joining the Cupcake Inspirations team as it's been a favorite challenge of mine for a long time!!

My name is Tracey

I'm married with 2 adult children and 2 furbabies Mabel and Dexter

I work full time as a team leader supporting adults with learning disabilities and complex needs. I love escaping to my craft room and I love gin lol
