Everyday Elements

Annette Green
I’m Annette and I live in Travelers Rest, South Carolina with my husband, Paul, whom I've been married to for 32 years. Crafting has been a passion of mine since childhood. Early on, I worked as a graphic designer, and once our daughter, Jamie (who's now a children's book illustrator), came into our lives I transitioned to working from home. It was then that I began pursuing crafting as a side business. Over time, this hobby evolved into a full-fledged career that has taken me on exciting journeys across the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean, where I teach paper crafting classes. I am thrilled to have my own Everyday Elements line with Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Anita Izendoorn
A great natural challenge in the Everyday Elements team of Annette. I am one with nature and this fits so nicely in my hobby street. I live with Ed, my husband and our Bernese Mountain Dog girl Bailey. I have lived in Rijswijk for 5 months and in Waddinxveen for 7 months where we have a hut and a spacious garden full of peace and greenery, both in the Netherlands. I have been playing with colors and paper since I was five years old and have been using stamps and punches for over 30 years and I hope to be able to do so for a long time, especially with the great challenge at ECD.

Di Wong
Hi. I’m Di Wong and I’m so happy to be returning to the Everyday Elements Design Team. Years ago I worked as an RN in the neonatal intensive care unit and the operating room (where I met my husband of 35 years). We live in Oklahoma and raised our two wonderful adult children here. I love making cards, ATC’s, and mini albums. Engineering cards with motion is a fun challenge and I like using alcohol markers, watercolor, and colored pencils. My designs usually include nature: flowers, mushrooms or animals. My social media username “a little bird” is taken from the saying “a little bird told me”.

Diane Prince
My name is Diane Prince and I live in North Quebec, Canada. I worked as a teacher and educator for Youth Protection Services for most of my professional life. Crafting was one of my most important tools to help the youth restore their self-esteem and rebuild their sense of hope. I have been crafting ever since and I enjoy making cards mostly, but also, small photo albums and other gift projects. I'm absolutely delighted to work with ECD's passionate team of designers and beautiful people behind this brand. I hope I'll inspire you to play and have fun!

Jackie Jasper
Hi, I’m Jackie, I am a picture framer and paper crafter. I live by the sea in Kent, England, and have been creating cards for over 10 years.
I favor the clean and simple style however I do dip my toe into other styles now and then. Oh, and I am a sucker for a sequin or two.

Hi! I am Jacqueline Muller. I live in the Netherlands. I am married to Bjorn and we have two little sons who enjoy watching mommy crafting and trying out my materials. As my boys do, I love trying out new techniques myself. Most of the time I make cards, artist trading cards and journal pages.

Kim Gowdy
Hello from Alberta, Canada! I am so excited to be joining Annette’s Everyday Elements design team! I have been a forever crafter. Honestly! I can remember hand sewing clothes for my Barbie with my BFF when I was in elementary school! My love for paper…just as long, we had a small town print shop where I lived (many moons ago!) and I would go in frequently to get off-cuts! Those early childhood moments have evolved into an adult passion that merged my love for photography and paper into memory keeping. Until recently I have been an avid 12 x 12 scrapbooker and card maker. Last year after attending the amazing Banff retreat, hosted by Elizabeth Craft Designs, I nose dived into the planner world and realized how FUN it was despite the challenge of working smaller…and well, here I am! During my 9-5 weekday hours you can find me managing a local dental office where I have been for over 24 years, but am dreaming of working less and creating more. Wish me luck! In the meantime I look forward to hopefully inspiring you with ideas on how to use your dies, stamps and paper, there’s a good chance you will get a glimpse into the lives of my husband, only son and my fur baby Kona!

Reanna van Haren
Hello, I'm Reanna, a mixed-media artist from the Netherlands. I love to incorporate all kinds of techniques in my journals, planners, on cards, and snail mail projects and have been doing this since 2018 after I found back my creativity and followed a mixed media course.
I have been a proud member of the ECD team since 2020 and try to inspire creative people through giving lives, teaching workshops, posting (a lot of) pictures, writing blogs and I recently opened a YouTube channel where I post tutorials.

Hi I'm Teresa Cruz, I'm 39 years old, I am married to my amazing and supportive husband and I have two sons, 10 and 5 years old. I work in city hall with the projects to promote healthy and active aging. As a part time job I teach personal and online classes and I have an online shop with scrapbooking and mixed media products with many brands including Elizabeth Craft Designs.
I began my craft / scrapbook journey back in 2008 when I bought my first cutting machine. I enjoy so much this world, and my favorite projects i make all the time are albums, cards, layouts and mixed media art. I do love to fussy cut and add many layers on my projects that almost always have a flower on top too. I love working in the ECD family, I am so happy to be here.

Vicki Dutcher
Hi there. My name is Vicki Dutcher. My blog is All I Do Is Stamp. 25+ years ago, I started creating cards to give myself something to do while my son took his naps. The diversity of this hobby has kept my interest [there is always something new to learn!], and now that I am retired, it also keeps me sane! I live in Arizona with my husband, along with my son and his family who live in the same small town as us. [Being a new Grandma is so much fun!] I'm very excited to be on the ECD Everyday Elements Team, and look forward to creating for them in 2025.

Yvonne Sandman
Hi everyone, my name is Yvonne and I am happily married. I live in the middle of Germany. We decided to move from the city to the countryside three years ago and it was the best decision. I love to have nature in front of our door. I am so happy that I have finally got my own craft room and have so much space for my creative outlet. Crafting has always been my biggest hobby and I have always loved papercrafting. I started scrapbooking and cardmaking about 15 years ago. There is not a day where I don‘t have ideas in my mind or sit on my craft desk. It‘s such an honor to be on Annette’s Everyday Elements design team.
