I had a customer, Lynne Hurlburt, bring in a wedding card and she used the Cuttlebug to design the background.  This machine is a must have product for your stamping/scraping room.  We carry a wide variety of embossing folders and diecuts and if we don't have what you want we can probably get it.  Lynne, you did a great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is another customer who is into ATC's.  Hilary Shemmans has received some amazing cards from people all over the world.  Hilary enjoys doing the 3D pop ups that are so popular with our customers.   She has relatives over in England who send her many sheets that I can't get over here.  I'm hoping to change that in 2008 as I am investigating International companies and am quite excited at what I have found already.  Stay tuned on more of this subject.  In the meantime check out her collections on Hilary's website  www.docrafts.co.uk and also the pictures below as she allowed me a look in her binder!!!

Laura Hinsberger has been on my site before as she was posted in the popular magazine TAKE TEN Well. she made it in there again (SUMMER 2008 ISSUE PAGE 25).  I tried to scan the page but it didn't turn out. Laura also brought me some cards she has done.  Laura has a wide variety of stamps.   The last card with the 3 faces on it is a stamp from Viva Las Vegas from LV.  I have been there and if you want to find an unusual stamp that's the place to go.  Wild!!!!!

Kelley Grace has been stamping for many years (longer than me I think) and truly does amazing work.  She is a rep for many companies and travels around teaching classes.  Her style is very unique as you can see if you check out her site.  If you are interested in Stamplicity having Kelley come to teach some classes just let us know.  You would learn a lot from this lady!!  Below is just a few of her designs.

      Val Baldwin has been doing the Stampscape technique for a little while now and brought these cards with her to show us. Nice work Val!!!!!!!!! Check the special events page for information on a special class we set up for ladies who wanted to learn more about Stampscapes.

Doris Hanlon was one of the ladies who came down from Toronto on May 17th and was showing me her artist trading cards.  I was so impressed and very interested in pursing the ATC's in regards to the store that I took pictures. (Check my home page to see what ATC's are all about!)       

Lia Lim is another Toronto lady who is into ATC's!!    

Joanne Iwasa also had a couple ATC's  to show me         

Shirley Mackie took a class with her friend and she must have went right home to practice the techniques she learnt.  These are the cards she did for her great nephews.   She used acetate and class and peel stickers.   Great cards Shirley!!

Carol Repchuk joined up for our 3 "S" party on Wed the 14th and brought these 4 cards to show me.  How could I not take a picture of them for our site.  The 2 scenery cards are done with Stampscapes stamps.      the other 2 cards are done with 1 Magenta Stamp.  Imagine 1 cling mount stamp and Carole's talent  produced the following beautiful cards.    

Darlene (you remember my sister) came bouncing into the store on Saturday to show me the amazing job she did with her tea bag folding.  She always did such great work in the store and tea bag folding is one of her passions.  Nice to see she still has the touch.

Nancy Bates is enjoying the new toys she buys and is becoming a very creative card maker.  We love her enthusiasm.

Karen Lombarszki is such a talented lady and I hope this Mother's Day card she designed shows up as well on my site.  It was truly a beautiful card.  It must have really touched her mom's heart due to the work she put into it.

Jean Broomhead finally  brought in some of the lovely cards she has done.  The following  are many different styles.

Sharon Laroche did these great NASCAR pages. I find many ladies love Nascar!!!  Nice work Sharon!!!!!

A pleasant surprise from Jenna Postma as she brought in an album for us to look at.  Of course, I had to take pictures as the pages were great and worth sharing with fellow scrappers. Thanks Jenna!!!!!!!!!!

Beatrice  Spoelstra sent me a beautiful card  and I really had to show it off.

Terry Ivan has been a long time customer of mine and as well, a dear friend.  We share a lot of things in common and she always gives me a few laughs when she comes to visit.  She spends a few months in the south every year and takes some classes down there.  The following  are the cards she made while down south.  Thanks Terry Sweetie!!!

Vanessa Ingraham is an extremely talented lady who has taught classes at various stores.  She has planned bus tours to the surrounding stores in past years. I finally got her to bring in an album so I could get her amazing work on this site.  I am pleased to say that she attends my Autumn Retreat every year and this year will be teaching a class!!! In fact she is so popular that I had to open a second class during the retreat.  Check out her work below.

Allaina Kane is  pretty faithfully in comeing out Monday night to scrapbook.  She admits she has come so far with her layouts.  Loves the bold pattern papers as she only uses part of them.  A few ladies come out regularly so we have a good time and exchange ideas.  Allaina is a lot of fun and I know she appreciates that she can get away one night a week and get some pages done.  You can see the different styles she has by the pictures below.

Patti Firth is completing a heritage album and so enjoyed looking through it and I got some great ideas.  It is a gift and Patti says it's the only album she will do but has had fun a lot of doing it.  I have a feeling that it might not be her last!!!  Nice work Patti!!!

Carol Repchuk is an amazing card maker.  I always have people picking up the cards she sends me and asking how they were done.  Check these out!!!    

Marjorie Detention is right into the Iris Folding Techniques.  You can see how  she is enjoying it and has perfected it by the cards below and all the detail that was put into the cards.

Joan LeBlanc has found the product "Fusible Fibers" to be alot of fun and very versatile.  Check out the adorable Easter Cards.

Pergamano cards by Pat McLean.  Pat suffers from serious neck issues and  when I see here most often she is wearing a neck brace.  This does not stop her from working with this technique as she has such a passion for it.  Pat says it helps take her mind off all the pain she is in and doesn't know what she would do if she didn't have her card making.

Glenna Eppendorf  enjoys her quilling.                                                

 Pat is also into working with Stampscapes.  This line of stamps is all about scenery and using  more than 1 stamp to complete a landscape card.  Pat has a passion for this line of stamps and just looking at her cards show how she is becoming proficient at putting the stamps together

Fran Vedder does super work in stamping and scrapbooking and brought in a Christmas card that I was very impressed with.

Shirley Munro started Pergamano  by taking the basic and advanced class with me in 2007.  Shirley has such a passion for this technique and it certainly shows in the following samples she brought in.  I am amazed at how beautiful her work is and a little envious that she has been working with it.  It is what I really want to pursue when I retire.  I do what I can now as I find it very relaxing and rewarding!!

Shirl Boughner from Kitchener  is another customer who enjoys scrapbooking but came to the store to take a Stampscapes and Pergamano class.  She brought her album and I was so impressed I just had to add some of her pages to my site.  Also below is the Stampscape card she made from the class I taught her.  She caught onto the technique quite easily and I had to take a  picture and post it as well.

These 3 pages are amazing and I will certainly be carrying papers from this company, Paper Trunk!!!! 

                         Stampscapes            The photo didn't come out as clear as I wanted it but her work was too good not to post it.    

    This 2 page layout was done with stamps and inks on glossy cardstock that Shirley got done to be all ready to add pictures for her future trip to the east coast.  It's a Stampscapes technique that she just expanded on. 

More cards by Shirley.  Such a talented lady.                  

Lacey Gelsumini designed this page on A Night to Unwind. I loved the look of it!!!
