Behind the scenes of the Belli Challenge, we've had a few changes occur. The two fabulous ladies who originated the Belli Challenge has some exciting opportunities ahead for them, so I volunteered to take over their blog. I wish Chris and Holly the most blessed success and luck in their future endeavors.
Hi, I'm Darsie Bruno, the owner and DT Coordinater for the Belli Challenge and some of you may have seen me around blog land! I love to participate in challenges, and the Belli Challenge was the second Design team I was honored to serve on for over a year. I had to step down earlier this year due to the death of my mom, but I am back and excited to bring you fun challenges in the coming new year! I plan to offer blog candy from time to time, so make sure you play with us often! I'm a mom of 3 amazing adults who are the light of my life and my hobbies consume me: papercrafting (of course), lampworking (making glass beads with a torch), photography, word games and reading. I dedicate all my work to my Mom and Dad, my children, and my brother and sister. They inspire me.
I am looking forward to seeing your awesome creations for the new year! A special thank you to all of those who applied for the Belli Challenge Design team and if you were not chosen, please keep an eye out for our next Design Team call in the spring. Without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to the Belli Girls who will be inspiring you in the months to come! Please check out their blogs and leave some love!

Hi, I am Joy Hadden and I am an vintage jewelry collector who loves all things paper! I am the mother to 3 lovely girls and 3 wonderful sons-in-law with seven fabulous grandchildren who call me Nina. I and my husband, who is a veterinarian live in East Texas. I've been involved with the international organization Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) for nearly 40 years and currently serve as a Children's Area Coordinator. When not traveling, you can be sure to find me in our sun room at my desk with a paper cutter and a tape runner.
Hi, I'm Shelly Schmidt and I am married for 25 years this Feb. to Ray- who is my best friend and a fabulous dad. We have three kids, twins Chris and Katie who are 23 and Stephanie is 18. We have just graduated to being emptynesters - for the time being anyway. I am a nurse and work part time. I grew up in a large family and am one of 7 kids. My Mom is an artist and teaches Porcelain Painting. While I did not inherit her talent, her creativity rubbed off on me. I love to sew, smock, and do embroidery, but paper crafting is my passion. I am a ‘Technique Junkie’ and my joy is to try different techniques with card making. I enjoy experimenting with different products. One of my biggest challenges is embellishing my cards and the challenge blogs really make me think outside of the box a lot.

Hi ya'll! Greetings from the Dallas, TX area, I'm StephC! I'm the Logistics Manager for a Hispanic snack food company by day, and an addicted paper crafter by night. I have been paper crafting, off and on, for the last 8 years and am totally in love with this hobby that we all share. I'm a total 80's music junkie, love Route 44 Lemon-Berry slushies and Sour Patch Kids while crafting, and can hold my own in a game of Texas Hold'em. It's a fantastic community, the paper crafting world, and I'm happy to be a part of it. I'm honored to be a "Belli Girl" and to be able to work with such amazing and talented women.
