Heather
Conklin - I have been an artist and creator my entire life, and spent much
of my childhood drawing, painting and making jewelry. After marrying my college
sweetheart, I sought for a way to preserve the memories of that day. A friend
introduced me to scrapbooking, and an obsession was born. A few years later,
with the birth of our daughter, I started making cards. Now that I have two
daughters, a sweet schnauzer, and a loving husband, I love preserving the
memories of our family. I am also a high school visual arts teacher, and have
even shared with my students my love for paper-crafting. A lot of how I view
crafting comes from my arts background, and what I learned through my many arts
courses. I enjoy making tutorials, mini-albums, and sharing my creations with
other people. http://goldiecar.blogspot.com/
Kay Fatula- My name is
Karla but I'm better known as Kay - a nickname I received in college & it
simply stuck. I've loved arts/crafts my whole life. I've been drawing since the
time I picked up my first crayon. In 2007 that I discovered scrapbooking &
haven't looked back since. Scrapbooking provides a means for me to release
my artsy side & to document my life in order to pass down to future
generations. Along the way, I also discovered the art of stamping - I tend to
stamp my own backgrounds & create my own designs. I also enjoy doing the
occasional altered art. I reside in Northern NJ just 30 minutes away from
New York City. I'm fluent in both English & Spanish. By day, I'm a
senior level Quality Analyst working for a Fortune 100 global company, so most
of my crafting happens late at night. I'm also a certified Zumba
instructor; you can find me at the gym almost every evening shaking the night
away! I'm married to a great guy that puts up with & supports my
scrapbook & crafting addiction! I have one son & a small fur-baby
by the name of Toby - both my boys are my little rays of sunshine. I am
grateful for the opportunity to design for such a fantastic company. I'm
looking forward to working with Authentique & to hopefully provide
innovative inspiration to some of you along this new creative journey! http://www.embrace-serendipity.blogspot.com/
Daniela Costa - Hello my name is Daniela Costa and I live in Northern California with my Husband and Son, I also have a daughter away at College. I have been Scrapbooking for about 15 years. I love to inspire others, and have been an educator for 10 years. I teach all over Northern California at local scrapbook stores. I love to teach mixed media and mini album classes. My style is Vintage with a flair of modern which is a perfect match for the gorgeous Authentique papers and embellishments. I didn't find my "artistic" side until adulthood and have embraced it ever since. I get the most joy out of seeing others step outside their comfort zone and try new products and techniques and learning that they are creative too!

Jess Kinderstampo- I'm a mom, foodie, mixed media fanatic and just an overall
lover of all things handmade. If you can't find me crafting I'm probably in the
kitchen trying to whip up a new recipe or bake a new cookie. My family is
my everything and I incorporate them into everything I do. www.instagram/kinderstampo

- My name is Kathy Clement, and I am a paper addict! While in a
confessional mood, I might as well admit to a passion for ink, paint, stamps,
dies and all things crafty. Although I’ve had no formal art training, I’ve been
fascinated by color and design for as long as I can remember. My favorite
toys when I was a girl were my doodle pad and Crayola crayons. I was
always busy making little books or cards for my family, and now that I’m “grown
up” I still love to do those very things, only now I get to share them with you
via my blog, kathybydesign.com.
I live in beautiful North Carolina, USA, with Dale, my
darling husband of 40+ years. We had the privilege of raising 5 fun and
fabulous children. Now we have the immense pleasure of being grandparents to
three precious girls whom we call “The Littles.”. Most days you’ll find
me in my sunny little studio making cards, dabbling in mixed media, designing
mini albums and enjoying all the many adventures that the fabulous world of
creativity affords. I also love to bake, spend time with “the Littles”,
cook big meals for our family, walk on the beach, go junkin’ and read.
Gloria Stengel - My name is Gloria Stengel and I live in beautiful, southern
California, near San Diego. I am a Bible-believing Christian, a wife of 30
years, the mom of three kids, and the owner of two cats. We were a
homeschooling family for 18 years, but starting this fall my last student
started college. Now, two of the children are currently in college and the
oldest child is post college, which means I am "retired."
I am a paper craft addict and hoarder! I love all
aspects of paper crafting: card making, scrapbooking, making mini albums,
altering things, up-cycling, Copic coloring, organizing my stash, and so on! I
am happiest when I am in my studio making something out of paper! Or, I can
spend time just sitting in the studio playing with my "inventory."
Now that I am no longer homeschooling, I have so much more time to create...and
shop.
I have been on many design teams since starting down
that road in 2008. It has been such a blast to have a chance to work with so
many companies and to meet so many new people. For a full resume, check the tab

I just discovered Authentique paper last year at the Puyallup stamp and scrapbook Expo. I was not prepared for how beautiful the paper was. I purchased 2 Christmas pads, a nautical one and farm and recipe one. It took me a while to use them because I had never seen anything that even came close to comparing to Graphic 45. Now they are my favorite! Where I live there are very few p look aces to purchase them. I am addicted! I made some Jack-in-the-Boxes for Christmas and they turned out beautiful. Thanks for creating such beautiful papers! Would love to share a picture but not sure how.
