Hello everyone!
There are some really wonderful and exciting things coming to you from Papericious this year, but first things first. We need to introduce you to this year's team! We know you've been waiting impatiently to hear who will be inspiring you here this term. It took us quite a while to shortlist our designers for this term, as we received some incredibly impressive applications and it was really difficult for us to narrow it down to EIGHT talented individuals. Presenting, the Papericious Design Team for 2018-19!
We are so happy to have Hussena stay with us for another term as our blog and social media coordinator. Hussena lives in Kolkata, India and has been a crafter and a blogger for more than 5 years now. She started her creative journey with the exquisite art of Paper Quilling. Though, she did start out with Quilling, she has, since then dabbled in various craft forms like Punch Craft, Die Cutting and Stamping.
We're very glad to have these two talented ladies continue with us for another term:

Priya never imagined that she would be a crafter someday! It all started when she moved to Ahmedabad.
