Bonnie Garby
Design Team Coordinator
Hi. I’m Bonnie Garby and I’m so thrilled to be part of the Cheery Lynn Designs team. I live in NY with my husband and I have two grown sons. I’ve been crafting my entire life and creating handmade cards since the mid 1990’s. I absolutely adore layering and using dies in my designs so this is a fantastic opportunity for me. I don’t feel a card is complete without lots of layers and a gorgeous bow. Creating paper flowers is a new passion of mine and there are so many wonderful flower making dies at Cheery Lynn Designs. I can’t wait to share some of my flower making techniques with you! Besides paper crafting I also enjoy quilting, knitting, crocheting, bead working and baking. I have way more interests than time! I look forward to sharing my love of paper crafting with you.
Laurie Schmidt
Hi! I’m Laurie from Stampin’ Up North and I live in Northern Minnesota. I started paper crafting about 10 years ago when my hubby and I became empty nesters and I was looking for a new hobby. One stamp led to another…and you know the familiar story….I was hooked! I love to spend the long, cold, snowy Minnesota winters in my craft room making cards. I love using dies, and would say my style is clean and layered. I’m so excited to be joining the design team at Cheery Lynn!
Cheryl Walker
I’m Cheryl Walker and I’m so excited to be a new part of the Cheery Lynn design team. I was born and raised in California and I have lived in Utah for the past 10 years. I am married and have been for 26 years. We have 3 grown kids, 1 cat, and 2 dogs. I have been crafting since 1986 (covering albums, wall decorations, and things for home). In 1995 I started scrapbooking and then in 2006 I started card making due to my neighbor and StampinUp!…hehehehe. I’ve been hooked ever since with card making and papercrafting! I spend most of my time crafting, cooking, and taking care of our home. I LOVE crafting, it’s a hobby and a passion of mine. I enjoy making cards, mini albums, tags, treat bags, calendars, mini post-its, and altered art/ floral. Currently I would have to say my LOVE is for creating beautiful glass flowers that I have been making. I love trying different products on them to give a different look to each one. I am super excited to be part of the Cheery Lynn DT!!
Jenny Alia
Hi I’m Jenny and I live in New York in a suburb outside NYC.I’m married and we have four young children (three boys and a girl). I’ve been paper crafting since 2000 when a friend introduced me to embossing powder. I’ve always loved art and dabbled in photography, watercolor painting, jewelry making and print making before finding my card making obsession.I love that by using new tools and products or mixing older items I can constantly create new and unique projects.I enjoy shabby chic, vintage, CAS styles, and lately mixed media (that probably encompasses them all). My style changes depending on the day but my love of dies and using handmade flowers on projects is constant.Cheery Lynn Designs dies are my favorite and I’m thrilled and honored to join this amazing design team.
Julie Lavalette
Let me introduce myself, my name is Julie Lavalette and I live in Scotland, UK, with my husband Chris, my younger daughter, 4 adorable Siamese Cats and my dog Ziggi. As long as I can remember I have enjoyed crafting and about 8 years ago Chris and I decided to get married and I needed Wedding Invitations. This reignited my love with paper as an adult and I have been addicted ever since. I enjoy mixed media, scrapbooking, 3D projects and card making to name a few. I adore bygone eras in History and feed this passion with my love of my Dolls House and crafting in a Vintage style. I feel so lucky and honoured to be asked to join the Cheery Lynn Design Team and look forward to sharing my knowledge and creativity with these amazing versatile dies.
