Oh Baby!

That bitter sweet day has arrived! By now all you lovelies know that at Amber Ink. we pass our torches like they're HOT. Check our our new babes!

Running with our brown torch as passed by our girl Katie!

Laura Kayra will be running her brown torch Amazing Race style, through long and windy roads! She is the one who spins a globe and travels to wherever her finger lands! We know she'll be an amazing AmberInk torchbearer, since she has already completed the "run for the kids" in Australia!

This Finnish girl currently lives in Melbourne with her future DH and current partner Paul and their gorgeous cat Sokeri. She speaks several languages and her blog is written in three of them - Finnish, Australian and the language of love. If she isn't driving somewhere on a day trip, walking through Melbourne or taking a boat around Vanuatu, you may just find her running through her house, with her arms held back, pretending to fly like superman! Laura already is a super hero in our book! It is the only explanation for her amazing scrapping and stamping which you can find @ http://paperiini.blogspot.com/

Running with our pink torch as passed by our girl Anne!

We are thrilled to have Nancy Cappelen join the AmberInk team! Nancy is the first pink torchbearer to join us from outside the UK, from even further north - the land of the midnight sun.Nancy's hometown of Stavanger houses Norway's oldest cathedral and the amazing pulpit rock, which makes us believe that her glorious work is somehow inspired by the beauty of her surroundings. Or perhaps it is influenced by her family, husband Paal and children Benedicte(14), Casper(11) and Pernille(5.). It doesn't hurt that Norway was recently named the best place in the world to be a mother.
Oh stop...we can't let you think that Nancy is perfect...in fact she does have two vices... papercrafting and chocolate. Need we say more? All we can find are positives.
See for yourselves @ http://nancyskortblogg.blogspot.com/

Running with our orange torch as passed by our fabulous Michele!

Toni Johnson lives the best of both worlds in Wichita Kansas. Our new orange torchbearer is a professional banker by day, but when the "closed" sign goes up at the bank, Toni's "open" sign comes on at home. As a wife to Mike and a mom to four (two away, two @ home) this happy, karaoke singing grammy spends her off hours turning on the crafty charm.
She might volunteer a little too often, but that is what her favorite drink, coffee is for right?
We know that this girl will go to great lengths to get crafting supplies, so we are glad to have her on board with AmberInk digitals! We can already hear the soundtrack of Chariot's of Fire revving up. Listen closely and you can hear it too @ http://impressionsbytoni.blogspot.com/

Our blue torchbearer, Renee Lynch has been blogging since 2011. But wait. This is 2011. AmberInk is thrilled to get in on the early stages of this class act!


Renee is in the midst of raising four kids in Tennessee with her DH. She chose to be a SITCM (stay in the car mom) over being a professional writer and earning top dollar -okay, we put this part in, but spend a little time reading her blog and you'll know that we have already looked into the crystal ball. We love that she has a section for recipes, but only offers one. Is this because she is a self proclaimed caffeine addicted chocoholic with exercise allergies and the eating habits of a three year old? Perhaps it is because she uses the dining room to craft in. Or maybe because she has phobias of any foods touching the other and has never eaten or made a casserole and never will?

Whatever the reason we find Renee charming and witty and fun.
We know you will too @ http://itsapatchworklife.blogspot.com/

Siobhan (pronounced like 'chevonne'...if you watch American Idol you would know!) joins us from the 49^th state. She has 6 children...well, not really, but if you count the DH, the Samoyed and the Golden Retriever you'll balance out. You do the math. Siobhan has spent the past four years in Japan as a nurse, CEO, CFO, taxi driver and stand up comic.

She currently is editor in chief and creative director @ a new challenge blog Use it Tuesday and if you hurry real fast, you can apply to be on the DT! We are fortunate indeed to have this Coke Zero drinking, heat gun burning, copic coloring and very pretty purple running torchbearer join us @ AmberInk. A recent personality test identified her as "gold". We couldn't agree more.
