I'm THRILLED to announce...

The members of the new Work in Progress Design Team!!

You may recognize Jana Eubank because she was a former guest design team member for WIP kits this past May! She and her husband live in Utah with their 4 children, and are getting ready to move into their dream house! Jana has an amazing eye for classic layouts with lots of details--and you can view her blog, and her gallery/resume to see what I mean!
Francine Clouden is originally from the island of Grenada in the Caribbean and currently resides in France. I've been a fan of her work for years on 2Peas (where she's known as "raggafran"), and her knack for journaling and storytelling is evident in all she does. You can view her blog and her gallery and resume here.
Colleen Vasconcellos may be a familiar face to those of you who love kits! She is the former owner of Cupcake Scrapshop, and a wickedly talented lady indeed. She's a history professor by day and has an eclectic flair that is evident in her layouts and art journals. Her blog (aptly named "A Brasilian in Atlanta") and her work will surely inspire you as well!

I was honored to have Laina Lamb as the guest designer for WIP last month, and her bold use of color, classic design and penmanship are things I love about her work. She isn't afraid to use non-traditional materials when scrapping her 3 boys, either! You can view her blog here, her resume here and her gallery here.
Ah, yes. A familiar face! Janelle Richmond is one of the two returning design team members, and I'm thrilled to have her on board again! Her use of white space, mix of patterned paper and ability to create a sketch and work it have made her pretty darned popular in the industry. Her Sketch This and Random Chaos challenge sites are linked to the right as proof! You can check her gallery here and her blog here.
Amy Coose has a playful style and sense of humor and it flows through her work and everything she does. I've been a fan of hers for some time, and if you check out her blog, you'll see exactly what I mean. Love that she uses her embellishments (unlike me--a hoarder.)
I know she was just featured on the WIP blog a few days ago, but Emily Anderson is now officially a WIP design team member and no longer a guest! She has a simple yet fresh approach to design and you can view her gallery here. Her blog is titled after her little ones...3Peas {in a pod} designs (too stinkin' cute!)

And last but certainly not least, Tina Zarlenga is making a repeat performance on this design team. Known for her altered items & mini books, she is a crafty gal all the way around and is always into something fun that I want to lift. How she finds time to read as much as she does, I'll never understand! You can view her gallery here and her blog here.

WHEW!!! Can you believe the rock solid talent here? WELCOME!!
