Sharyn Polesel

Hi!  I'm Sharyn.  I am married to my high school sweetheart, and we will be celebrating our 41st Anniversary on January 20th.  We have two grown children and six grandchildren.  I have always loved crafty things, and enjoy card making, scrapbooking, quilting and counted cross-stitch.  I also love to read, cook, work in my flowers, travel with my husband, and spend time with my family.  I started stamping in the summer of 2012 and have been hooked ever since.  I am very excited to be a part of this very talented team.

Susie Wittwer

Hi, my name is Susie and I live near a small farming community in northern Illinois, USA with my wonderful husband!  When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with family, walking and (of course) stamping.  Cards are my favorite, but I also enjoy creating photo layouts, altered projects, etc.  Just about anything involving paper crafting. I’ve been stamping for many years, but my hobby became even more fun when I started blogging in 2009.  I found challenge blogs!!!   It’s so much fun to be inspired by, and learn from, other crafters.  As a member of this super-talented design team, I hope that I’ll be able to inspire you!

Janet Zeppa

Hello everyone! My name is Janet Zeppa and I live in St.Catharines Ontario Canada. That is close to Niagara Falls. My husband and I are proud parents of 3 grown children, 1 girl and 2 boys. We are now empty nesters and life is good! I love paper crafting and have been scrapbooking and card making for about 10 years. When my daughter became engaged I just knew that I wanted to do something special with all the wedding photos and that's how it all began.  I am super excited to be a part of the Seize The Birthday team and I look forward to meeting all of you fellow crafters out there. I'm sure that we will inspire each other.

WELCOME TO SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY!

We are so glad you all are here with us and look forward to you starting your first

challenge with us tomorrow!

Stay tuned!!

Nancy
