Our Designers

I'm Mary-Ann, a mama, a wife, a wanna be photographer, a memory keeper, a car-pooler and more.  Much much more.   

I live in Massachusetts with my retired Marine, handsome boy, my mans best friend, and favorite feline.  I love new "old" things and try to find space to collect them.

While stationed in Oklahoma in 2000, I started scrapbooking with friends supplies.  I quickly became a fan of memory keeping.  In 2008, started traveling with a friend who owned a small business and was introduced to fresh new product!

I teach locally and love to give creative things for gifts to those who are willing to accept! I wish for more hours in the day so I could nap and touch paper.

~Love Mary-Ann as much as we do check out Lump, Bump and Clump

flowers, ribbons and anything to do with the wonderful world of papercrafting. Her
mother first taught her how to create a card using folded paper and crayons at the age of 4. She has never grown tired of it, although her supplies have certainly had an upgrade. For many years, mothering and homeschooling five beautiful children was her full time occupation. Once the chicks left the nest, she rediscovered her passion for paper, and Kathy by Design was born in 2010. In addition to selling custom handcrafted paper art in her Kathy by Design Etsy shop, she enjoys the privilege of serving on several design teams. Her style is decidedly vintage/shabby chic with lots of layering, embellishments, ribbons and mixed media techniques to create beautiful textures and dimension. Primarily known as a cardmaker, she also loves to create mini albums, mixed media art, canvases, altered art and even scrapbook layouts. Her most recent crafting obsession is designing interactive folios. You may follow her work and find links to all her social media outlets on her website at http://www.kathybydesign.com. Her heart to educate and inspire others to discover and develop the joy of creating with
paper led her to create a YouTube channel with over 100 free videos and tutorials. Married to her darling husband Dale for 43+ years, she lives in the charming southern town of Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina where she delights in passing on her love for crafting to 3 lovely granddaughters.

Hi there!  My Name is Wendy Sue and I am so excited to be a part of the amazing team here at the Button Farm Club! J I live in a beautiful mountain valley in Utah with my incredible husband, Brad, and two of our boys, who are both in high school.  We also have a wonderful daughter who is all grown up and married and attending grad school and an amazingly handsome and talented son who is also living away at college!  Growing up, my mother always had some kind of craft project for us to work on together; oftentimes they were paper-crafting projects (I think I probably designed more cards than Hallmark during my childhood).  I graduated from Utah State University with a degree in accounting, and although that’s my “day job,” I think I'd much rather use paper for creating fun projects than for recording and calculating numbers! This hobby has definitely helped me focus on the most important aspects of my life – namely family – and I’ll forever be grateful for the lessons I’ve learned, people I’ve met, and wonderful opportunities that have come my way through this amazing industry. I’d love to connect with you through this incredible hobby – please join me!

Hi! My name is Nancy Wethington. I'm a wife, a Mom, a Mother-In-Law and a crafter. I live in Missouri with my husband of 46 years and our two sweet rescue pit bulls. I've had a love of all things antique since I was a little girl and that has filtered over to my paper crafts.  Practically living in my basement craft room, my son named it Nancy-land years ago and the name stuck with my family and friends.

I've been teaching crafts of one kind or another for practically my entire adult life including tole painting, Copic Markers, paper arts, scrapbook layouts, tags and mini-books. Retired from my *real job* in the travel world, I currently teach in the Midwest area at locally owned scrapbook stores as well as produce weekend crops and events built around scrapbooking.

Having been a designer for Graphic 45, 7 Gypsies, Prima Marketing Education Team, Simon Says, Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts and Mini Album Makers Challenge, I'm thrilled to be a designer for Button Farm Club. I hope you enjoy my mini-books and layouts as much as I do designing them.
