Friends of Flourishes
ALLISON COPE – TEAM COORDINATOR
Howdy! I’m Allison Cope. I currently live in beautiful Strathmore, AB, Canada with my fabulous husband, Todd and our 7 year old son, Spencer. I began crafting in late 2005 when my son was born and I was instantly hooked! I have served on a variety of Canadian and US design teams over the last 7 years and I have thoroughly loved every minute of it. I’ve met some incredibly talented and very dear friends through my hobby and I hope to continue to stamp and craft for many, many years to come. I fell in love with Flourishes stamps the minute I set my eyes on them and I knew had to create with them right away. Today, I am truly honoured and blessed to be a part of the Friends of Fourishes DT with my fellow designers!

MAKI JONES
Hi everybody, it’s Maki. I was born and grew up in Tokyo, Japan until I got married. After 13 years of moving around the world as a military family, my husband and I finally settled down in the small town of Waskom, Texas. Although I was blessed to live in so many different places and meet so many wonderful people, I’m very happy the moving part of life is over! I am married to my wonderful husband, Troy, and we have one daughter and one son. I also live with 3 furry kids (cats): Handy Andy, Mustang Sally, Titanium Ty and a new member of our family—a dog named Lemon Lime. My love of arts was started at very young age. My late father was an oil painter and I used to watch him painting in his studio for hours. One of my favorite things to do when I was a child was coloring. I guess it was natural that I was immediately hooked on stamping when I was introduced to it at an SU! workshop. When I got my first Flourishes stamp set, I fell in love with their classic & elegant style. I just enjoy the process of making cards every time I use their stamps. I’m so thrilled to be a permanent member of FOF team!

BRONI HOLCOMBE
I’m so thrilled to be a part of the Friends of Flourishes team! What an honor to be chosen to represent such a warm, welcoming, and wonderfully classy company! I’m a mother to 2 beautiful daughters, and a Nana to 3 young grandsons and an adorable granddaughter. I live in beautiful South Carolina where I’m an accountant by day for a major beverage distributor. I started stamping in 2005 and was honored with being chosen as a member of the Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen design team a short 2 years later. Coloring is my passion, and Copic markers are my “weapon” of choice. When I’m not crafting (or online!), you can find me playing with the grandchildren, kayaking, swimming or planning my next trip to the beach!

DENISE MARZEC
Hi all! My name is Denise Marzec and I live just outside of Reading, Pennsylvania. I’m married to my awesome husband, Dan, and I’m a mom to two daughters, Hailey (now 23) and Kara (now 7)….yep, very far apart in age. :) My paper crafting began around 2005 with scrapbooking, but in 2007 I discovered stamping and card making…and I loved the instant gratification of cards. My favorite part of card making is coloring images, especially with Copics. When I am not stamping, I enjoy exercising, reading, camping, and spending time with my family and friends. I’m so honored and excited to be a part of the FOF team!

DEBORAH ANTON
My name is Deborah Anton and I am a stay at home mom to 10 year old twin boys and a wife of 11 years to a patient, loving, and awesome Army Officer. I am originally from California but currently live in Tennessee. I keep pretty busy just on the home-front with my active boys, moving every few years, and volunteering with the Army. But in the little “me” time I do get, I love to do anything crafty!! I started out 11 years ago designing and creating jewelry for 2 large retailers, which led me to having my own business; until 8 years ago when I met designer paper and glue. A new love relation began! I began to divide my time between jewelry and paper-crafting, thus my blog and SCS name of Beadn&Stampn. I am so excited to be part of the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Design Team and being able to work alongside these talented ladies!! In my other spare time, (who am I kidding?) I enjoy music, singing, dancing, reading, and just being with my family.
