  My stamping motto is... layers, layers, layers.
  My friends think I'm... a stampin fool!!!!

  When I stamp, I like to... have the stereo or a movie on--mojo flows with background noise
  If I was an embellishment, I would totally be a... flower
  My stamping motto is... don't show DH the credit card bill? No haha. My motto is: it's all about having fun and encouraging people.
  My friends think I'm... a dork (because I am!) but they'd probably say thoughtful.
  My secret addiction is... buying stamps...shhh, don't tell
  In a fairytale I would be the... sidekick--like donkey in Shrek--slightly odd looking but full of one liners!
  I'm on this team because... I was given a chance to be part of something really cool. I still feel like I'm kind of a newbie to stamping/card making even though I've been at it for a while now. But I've had a great bunch of friends come along side to encourage me in my craft and I want to do the same for anyone else who is pursuing her (or his!) creative outlet.

  Kadie is super excited to be a part of The Greeting Farm family. She is delighted to be able to combine her love of card making with her favorite stamps here on the Farm, as well as truly honored to be working with such a great group of friends. Kadie lives in Seattle, with her sweet husband, Josh and Italian Greyhound, Winston. She has always been interested in art (drawing and painting), photography, cross stitching, scrapbooking and of course card making, but really got into the card making craft about 2 years ago when she joined Splitcoaststampers and started doing card swaps. It was there that a group of friends truly challenged, inspired and encouraged her to take her love of stamping to the next level. She is so thankful to Marie, Jessica, her SCS friends, and of course her husband, Josh for all their support.

  When I stamp, I like to... Have everything on my work space neat and organized. I won't discuss the state of the rest of my craftroom it is not a pretty site. If there is a Penguins game on I will listen otherwise, I like it quiet so I can concentrate.
  If I was an embellishment, I would totally be a... My go big or go home attitude is in direct contrast to my personality which is quiet and reserved (except when I am yelling at my kids to clean their room) so I would have to be a soft pink, barely noticable background ribbon.
  My stamping motto is... Go big or go home. I love the look of clean and simple but I just can't seem to master it and if I am going to spend the time to make a card I may as well go over the top.
  My friends think I'm... quiet, dependable, a bit silly and sometimes a little sarcastic.
  My secret addiction is... Oh, I was afraid of something like this. I consider myself a bit of a feminist and I totally think HH is just a dirty old man but I love watching The Girls Next Door. Even my husband doesn't watch it so I have to hide out in the bedroom so my kids don't see me watching it. I guess it is over now though so I will have to go back to watching the Sci Fi channel which is my other non-secret addiction.
  In a fairytale I would be the... The white horse, a strong, dependable, supporting character. I don't like being the center of attention but I would still want to look good.
  I'm on this team because... The Greeting Farm totally started my addiction. I really didn't start stamping seriously until around January of this year and it was completely because I discovered TGF. I have a hard time spending money on things from which I won't get a lot of use and I'm not really good at coloring but I found that TGF stamps were cute as a button, really easy to color and I could use them for other things besides cards (can you say shrink plastic?). I think my devotion to the stamp line shows in the endless number of projects I end up making with them(oh if I only had more time!). I just get tons of inspiration when I have one in my hot little, ink covered, hands and it is so much fun to share my addiction with so many wonderful people associated with TGF.

  When I stamp, I like to... drink coffee, listen to music, make a huge mess, and drink more coffee.
  If I was an embellishment, I would totally be a... fancy Prima flower. You know, those big foofy silky ones that are so special you feel the need to hoard them?!
  My stamping motto is... glimmer mist everything!! It ain't done til it sparkles like a disco ball!
  My friends think I'm... obsessed with buying stamping supplies. Course they're usually right beside me going, "oh you NEED to buy that" and then "oh great, now I need to buy that".
  My secret addiction is...scifi novels, horror, mystery, and good old cheesy paranormal romances....especially, the Vampire kind.
  In a fairytale I would be the...big bad dragon, of course!!!
  I'm on this team because... TGF stamps are irresistible. If I spot a stamped blank on my table, I cannot help myself. I have to color it and create with it! I can get lost in the land of creativity for hours dreaming up creations with TGF stamps! And, there's mermaids and fairies, what more could I ask for?!?! (Except maybe a dragon...*hint hint*)

  When I stamp, I like to... Listen to music, drink tea and snack.
  If I was an embellishment, I would totally be a... ribbon, you can bend, knot and bow me but I’d still be ribbon!
  My stamping motto is...supplies matter!
  My friends think I'm... a bad influence! When I’m excited about something they get excited and we conspire to get it. Even if it means getting my mom to buy it and mail it!
  My secret addiction is...getting mail! I think I shop on-line just so I get presents in the mail. I never really know when something’s going to be in so everyday is a surprise. Of course getting the bills isn’t to fun!
  In a fairytale I would be the...a fairy dress maker
  I'm on this team because... I’m never happy with anything I do except stamping. I’m always proud of my work when they feature TGF stamps. They make me smile every time I take them out. And now my “job” is my happy place, how perfect is that?

  When I stamp, I like to... pick a patterned paper and coordinate go-withs from that. Oh and listening to Pink is a must.
  If I was an embellishment, I would totally be a... clear spica pen. While not the main attraction, it does help raise what it enhances to the next level. Kind of like pepper in gravy.
  My stamping motto is... Inspire or be inspired. We can always get to know someone by what they create and how they create it.
  My friends think I'm... funny, organized, and have a great craft area.
  My secret addiction is...Patterned paper. It is the starting point for all my cards.
  In a fairytale I would be the... Princess with all the stamping time I could ever ask for because I would have no daily chores to tend to and no need for a day time job.
  I'm on this team because... the judges liked what they saw and I have an awesome support team that gave me the encouragement to try out.

  When I stamp, I like to... be very organized and clean.  I like to go into a project with a game plan, so I usually start with a sketch and/or color combo.  I am also freakishly neat when I am creating...I LOVE a clean workspace!
  If I was an embellishment, I would totally be a... either a button or a silver brad....have you seen my cards?!?  LOL!
  My stamping motto is... Having everything organized and accessible creates a happy stamper!
  My friends think I'm... ridiculously funny...and modest!  LOL!
  My secret addiction is... I don't really have any secret addictions...I flaunt them right out there in public for everyone to see!
  In a fairytale I would be the... OCD-riddled fairy that wants everything clean and tidy all the time, or the quirky sidekick fish that could read!
  I'm on this team because... I got very lucky!  Just kidding!  I love this company and the quality of their products.  These stamps have been in my top three for quite a while now, and I am so excited to be a part of this fantabulous company!  Great stamps + Great people = Happy Stamping!
