Hello and Welcome to YNS Challenges

You have found Your Next Stamp Challenges. The first Friday of each month we'll post a new challenge for you to follow, along with and the chance to win YOUR NEXT STAMP prizes and GUEST DESIGNER spots here at YNS!

Our SKETCH and PHOTO INSPIRATION challenge runs for an entire month so for added inspiration we will be adding new cards & creations from the YNS Design Team EVERY Friday so be sure to stop by every week and join in the FUN!

We would love to see you create a card using a YOUR NEXT STAMP stamp, but we also welcome projects made with other stamps. If you do use a YOUR NEXT STAMP stamp or die, your project just might be selected as our TOP PICK!

Maureen Wong
Senior Designer & Special Projects Coordinator

My name is Maureen and I live in sunny Hawaii with my husband, 2 young sons, and 3 furbabies. I'm a SAHM and love hanging out with my family, paper crafting, and playing on the computer. I'm so excited to be on the Your Next Stamp DT and hope you like what I create!









Kerri Michaud
Senior Designer & Special Projects Assistant Coordinator

Hello! My name is Kerri Michaud and I’m a stay at home mom to 3 kiddos ages 7, 5, and 2! We currently live in Apopka, Florida which is just outside of Orlando. I got into stamping about 2 years ago after I had my first Stampin’ Up party. I was instantly hooked LOL! Before then I had dabbled in scrapbooking, crocheting, sewing, quilting, jewelry making, and whatever other crafty whims that came my way. I think I have found my true passion in stamping and card making though! I also LOVE to make altered items and little gift boxes, etc. I am soooo excited and honored to be part of the Senior DT for Your Next Stamp! I ADORE these darling images and just love working with Karen and the rest of the DT!

Amy Rohl
Designer

My name is Amy Rohl, and I'm so excited to be a part of the YNS Design Team! I adore the sweet images and look forward to lots of stamping fun. My stamping obsession began about 10 years ago and continued to grow as started participating in weekly challenges at Splitcoaststampers where I was lucky enough to serve on the Dirty Dozen Design Team, meeting so many great stamping friends from all over the world! I currently live in Ellsworth, WI with my husband and three wonderful kids, Kendra (18), Hank (16) and George (3) and work as a speech/language pathologist for a school district and thoroughly enjoy having "summer vacation", which equates to more stamping time! I hope you enjoy my work with YNS!







Hi there! My name is Jenny Peterson and I am hopelessly addicted to stamping! I have been scrapbooking since I had my first child, seven years ago. I don't do it a whole lot though, as I find it quite time consuming and I never know when to quit! I started stamping about 3 years ago and I like that I can have quick results with a card. I have three little boys, ages 2, 5 and 7. I am married to my high school sweetheart and he hates all things stampy (he has a jealousy complex I think;). I am a Registered Nurse and teach nursing part time at a nearby college. I live with my family in the country in central Alberta, Canada. I love being creative and am a just kid in art class at heart:) I have had the privilege to design and guest design for some great companies and I am super excited to be designing for Your Next Stamp!




Dana Joy
Designer

Hi, I'm Dana and I have been stamping for over 12 years and enjoy every minute of it. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 18 years and I'm the proud mom of two wonderful children (ages 20 and 15). I started stamping after attending a home party for Stampin Up and I haven't stopped since. I love all kinds of challenges and love searching the internet for exciting new techniques. Right now I'm ga-ga over Copic Markers but I still enjoy using chalks, glitter, watercolors and other mediums. I can't wait to get started on the DT.






Diana Genario
Designer

My name is Diana and I currently live in Missouri. I'm originally from New York so I'm a true City Girl turned Country Girl. I live with my true love Kelly and our 3 babies (kitty babies that is). I have been scrapbooking for over 8 years, and just about 2 years ago, I discovered my love for card making and stamping. I love coloring and creating. I do work a full time job, but evenings and weekends my crafty side emerges, and the rest is history. I'm so very excited about being on the YNS DT and honored to work with all of the talented ladies here.






Jenny Suchin
Designer

Hi all! I'm Jenny, 36, I'm a mom to one beautiful girl and I'm getting married in October!  We live in the Golden State, California. I'm from Virginia, I sure do miss him.  I love my day job, it’s the best but by night I'm a papercrafting owl. I love all things fun and exciting and I love the outdoors especially at the beach!  I love to make goodies with PAPER! My favorite is paper piecing, it’s my specialty lol. And I would say my style is cute and fun with a little vintage throw in sometimes.  I mostly do cards but occasionally I love to scrapbook and make altered items. You will see from a lot of my creations, I love PINK! My inspiration for my arts and crafts is my little girl, she loves to do crafts with mom.  I even set up a little desk for her in my studio.  It just tickles me pink that she loves it as much as I do.  Gotta cherish that mommy/daughter time!



What can I say, I’m still in shock I was asked to be a part of this fabulous team. A little bit about me…I’m a 39 year old Georgia girl living in Orlando, Florida with my beautiful family. I am living a dream come true all thanks to my wonderful husband who makes it possible for me to be a stay at home mom to our two children, Brooke (2 yrs old) and Nathan (3 yrs old). They are my favorite people in the whole world and it’s an honor to be their mother. Plus they are super cute!!!  With two toddlers I’m very busy everyday playing monsters, having a tea party with a whale or splashing around in the pool. Oh I almost forgot... I do laundry and all that other boring domestic stuff too...sometimes! But I manage my time well so that most days I can have a little “me time” where I can sit down, create and do a little blogging too. I love the fact that I have now made so many friends from all over the world all because of a shared love of paper-crafting.  I’m beyond thrilled to continue to design for Your Next Stamp and hope my creations will bring a smile or maybe some inspiration to others.
