Kendra – Wisconsin (Lead Designer)
My name is, Kendra, I live in Wisconsin with my high school sweetheart and our two active kiddos!! I’m a SAHM in winter and work landscaping in summer! When I'm not spending time with my family, I have a passion for flowers as well as crafting! I started scrapbooking 24 years ago as both my husband and I raced at a local race track and I wanted to keep track of our wins and photos! From that it grew into a HUGE obsession! I started card making about 15 years ago! Any spare time I get I love to be in my room creating either by myself or with my kids! I love working with Dare 2B Artzy's products!!

Melody - Ohio
Hi! I am Melody Blake, and I live in Pataskala, Ohio, with my craft-enabling husband of forty-four years. We have two grown sons and have enjoyed many adventures related to the amazingly diverse interests and careers of these two fabulous young men! I discovered the Dare 2B Artzy stamps at a local scrapbook store about seven years ago, and it was love at first sight! Since retiring after thirty-seven years as an educator (reading specialist, second grade teacher, and supervisor of talented and gifted programs), I have some time to play! The D2BA stamps and papers make creating so much fun, and I am elated to be joining the design team! Happy crafting!
Tasha - Wisconsin
Hi everyone! My name is Tasha and I'm from Wisconsin. I have been a crafter for as long as I can remember and love paper crafting! My favorite hobby is stamping and I enjoy trying out new techniques and card folds. In addition to cardmaking, I like to draw, paint, crochet, and travel with my husband. I'm so happy to be a part of the D2BA Design Team and look forward to sharing my projects with all of you!
Avra - Ohio
Hi Artzy friends! I live in Columbus, OH with my husband of over 30 years. We are recently retired and are the parents of two grown children and a dog and are enjoying our (almost) empty nest. I have been a paper crafter for many years, and I currently spend most of my spare time stamping, coloring, learning new techniques, and making cards.
Dare 2B Artzy products are so fun to create with and I am looking forward to another term on the design team to see and try out all of the new goodies to come!
I enjoy interacting with all of the creative crafters in the Artzy Community Facebook group as well as other Dare 2B Artzy crafters, and hope that they will be as inspired by my work, as I am inspired by theirs!

Tonya - Colorado
Hello! My name is Tonya Meyer. I live in "Mile High" city of Denver, Colorado where I get to wake up and look at the gorgeous Rocky Mountains every day. Denver is aptly named because we are 1 mile above sea level at 5,280 Feet. I’m married to my wonderful husband of 12 years, Gary. We have two dogs and two cats all named after Star Wars characters. I work for a Spanish Language TV & Radio group as a Business Operations Manager. I’ve been with the company for over 30 years. My day job basically pays for my crafting habit; fur-kids chew toys, catnip and hubby’s Star Wars collectables. When I met my husband, I was a casual crafter with a mild interest in stamping. Through a friend of my husband’s, I discovered Copic markers and at that point I was hooked. My card style is on the bold and colorful side. Bright, pretty colors and shiny things make me happy what can I say? On any given day I enjoy escaping to my craft space to play with alcohol inks, markers, stamps, hot foiling, stencils, dies and watercolors. Sharing my love of paper crafting with others is such a great feeling and I believe that you couldn't ask for a better crafting community than Dare 2B Artzy! I am looking forward to sharing lots of Dare 2B Artzy goodness
Ceal - North Carolina
I live in the mountains of western North Carolina with my husband and our little fur baby Wally. We are empty nesters with two grandchildren, 1 girl and 1 boy. I started with scrapbooking in 2004 and attended a stamp party and found my love to be cardmaking, not only could I finish a card much quicker than a page, I could mail them out to friends and family and make someone's day a little brighter.

Kathy - Ohio
My hubby and I have been married for 27 years and we have a beautiful adult daughter. Stamping and paper crafting have been my passion for over 25 years and it just plain makes me happy! I’m mainly a card maker with a clean, layered style, but I do love getting inky once in a while too! I’m thrilled to be part of the Dare 2B Artzy team and excited to have the opportunity to share projects created with these amazing products with you!
