2013 Design Team: Meet Amy & Tamara

Tamara Tripodi
California

Hey, all! My name is Tamara (Happy Life, Crafty Wife) and I reside in Bear Valley Springs, CA with my hubby and 3 children. I am pretty fun and crazy and am usually wired on coffee all day. I LOVE to act silly with my children, I must always find a reason to have a little party/celebration for them.. it's a sickness, really. Holidays get me all sorts of crazy!

 I started paper crafting in the fall of 2010 and have never looked back! I just ADORE creating with paper. I am not much of a scrapbooker, but I really enjoy designing altered projects, goodie bags/boxes and I fell in love with card making this year. I would say my style is pretty clean and fun.

When I am not paper crafting I am running a little flair button business, being a mom, wife and awesome. I really enjoy baking and decorating cookies/cakes/cupcakes. I love music and you can bet there will be some tunes blasting in the background daily.. which often leads to random dance sessions with my kiddos. I am big on animal rescues and love to volunteer and support the local rescues. I have a little Yorkie and two kitties, all rescues.. and we love 'em! Other than all that.. I eat, sleep, drink coffee, and squeeze in a shower here and there.

I have always loved creating things.  A few years ago I decided I wanted a new diaper bag and pulled out my sewing machine.  I fell in love with sewing and have been going strong ever since.  I have 5 beautiful children and one very patient and supportive husband.  I love the bright cheery nature of everything Doodlebug Designs does and I look forward to creating with them through the next year.

Note: Amy is our first "fabric" specialist. She will be stitching up all sorts of yummy projects featuring the Doodlebug fabrics. So watch for her monthly post to learn what you can do with colorful fabric too!
