Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #376

Welcome to the newest members of Hand Stamped Sentiments Design Team! Here’s a little bit about each of them in their own words. Visit their blogs to see more of their projects.

Patti Brunter

A little about my self I live in Southern California and have been a Stampin' Up demonstrator since 1998. After I attended my first Stampin' Up workshop I was hooked and I signed up right away. I have been blessed with meeting the most special people all of these year. I love trying new techniques and any time I can get a chance to color or watercolor. I also enjoy scrapbooking and jewelry making.

Visit my blog http://stampinexpressions2.blogspot.com to see more of my projects.

Leah Dixon

I am a mom of teens, a primary school teacher, and a Canadian Stampin Up! Demonstrator (since 2018). I love creating cards, scrapbooking and gardening.

Visit my blog https://stampinwithleah.ca/ to see more of my projects.

Heather Heroldt

I'm a stay-at-home wife, mom and empty-nester, who, in addition to WAY too much volunteering, loves to create, whether it's in paper, fiber or in the kitchen! I live in sunny Scottsdale, AZ.

Visit my blog https://www.heatherspages.net/handmade-by-heather to see more of my projects

Jolanda Johnstone

Always exploring “Creativity”, I was stamping and embossing in the early 80’s among other artistic pursuits. Moving to the US from Canada 15 years ago allowed me to “retire”. I discovered Stampin’ Up! and the rest is history. I love teaching this craft and set up the Inque Spot Studio where I welcome guests to stamp with me. Over the past two years I began to dabble in the world of challenges and created a blog where I share my projects. I love how a challenge makes me put on my thinking cap and gives me an excuse to play with my Studio Stash! I am very happy to be a part of the Hand Stamped Sentiments Design Team. Cheers, Jolanda.
