Born in Indiana, Jennifer attended DePauw University and majored in Elementary Education. Jenn opened Self-Addressed in 2003.  Noticing the need for well coordinated and easy to use card making kits, Self-Addressed grew from Jenn's great passion for paper crafts. Over the past years, Self-Addressed has grown from a Card Making Kit to a complete inspiration springboard for Scarpbookers, Paper Crafters, Stampers, and Card Makers alike!

After living in Texas for 11 years Lisa Dorsey is finally back home in the Midwest. She currently lives with my wonderful husband and two sweet daughters in the Indianapolis area. Lisa taught second and fourth grades for seven years before deciding to stay home with her children. Although she has been scrapbooking since 1996, it wasn't until she moved to Indianapolis that Lisa truly became obsessed with this wonderful hobby. She loves designing for Self Addressed because it allows her the opportunity to share her passion with others.

Melanie Hogeterp can't remember a time when creating art was not a part of her life. Scrapbooking and card making became her focus four years ago after a friend showed me her scrapbooks. I gave it a try and since then my passion for papercrafting has grown. I find the time I spend in my little studio energizing and therapeutic. I love to create cards and gifts for others and I find that people are truly touched by a handmade gift. In addition to giving gifts I make custom scrapbooks and cards for others to purchase. Scrapbooking for my family is also important to me and I hope that my pages will help my children to know the stories of their lives better. As a part of the Self-Addressed Design Team I hope that I can inspire others to express their creativity, to tell their story and to share themselves with others.

Anabelle O' Malley lives in Delaware with my husband and beautiful three year old son. Ryan. In my " other" life (BR-Before Ryan). I was a primary school teacher. I taught for 16 years and really enjoyed the kids. Luckily, I get to be home with Ryan for now. I dabbled in scrapbooking during the late 90' s, but with the demands of teaching, I gave up on it. During the summer of 2004, I decided that I wanted to get back into it so that I could begin creating memories for Ryan. I KNEW that as soon as I started, I' d be obsessed. I was certainly right. Once I started I was completely hooked. Cardmaking and creating paper crafts soon followed. When I' m not in my scraproom I can be found relaxing with my family, hanging out online, cooking, or every once in a while forcing myself to exercise. I' m thrilled to be a part of the wonderful Self-Addressed community.
