January Guest Designers and new DT member

Oh my goodness how this past year flew by! It has been a great year and I just know that the coming year will be full of great things for Sweet N Sassy stamps. One terrific new thing is the introduction of pre-colored digis! How cool is that? Now, we will of course still have the fabulous traditional digis but I think it is a wonderful new option. Another great thing happening here at SNSS is the introduction of a new Design team member and our 2 January guest designers.

However before I introduce our new members I need to say thanks for an excellent month to our December guests designers Denise Marzec and Danielle Shaffer. They have done an outstanding job this past month inspiring us with their fabulous cards and projects!

I also want to say a fond farewell to 2 of our Design Team members that have been with us for quite a while and are moving on- Ceal Pritchett and Nancy Brown. These ladies have been awesome team members and have done a truly great job at promoting Sweet N Sassy stamps! Ladies, you will be missed for sure but not strangers as I know everyone will be visiting your blogs to be inspired by your creativity.

Now I would like to introduce you to our 2 January guest designers- Pattie Goldman and JenMarie Taylor.



Pattie Goldman- My name is Pattie and I live in Hanover (South Central) PA with my wonderful husband of almost 20 years and two beautiful children - my son is 17 and my daughter is 13...and two furry kids too...a yellow lab named Dixie and a black and tan Pomeranian mix named Shadow!In order to support my love of all things crafty, I work full-time as an Office Manager for a local furniture store. I loved being inspired by so many artists on their blogs, that I decided to join in on all the fun they are having and start my own blog to share my craftiness.




Jennifer Taylor (JenMarie)-Hi, I'm JenMarie! How did I get started stamping? I was born and raised in Louisiana. Two years after getting married my husband and I moved to Illinois. When we moved to IL, a gal from church invited me to a stamping workshop and I thought ~ well, I'll go so I can meet people. Um, yeah... the rest is history! I met peeps AND found an AMAZING hobby! We moved to Georgia three years ago and thanks to stamping and the internet/SCS I've made some amazing friends online and in person. Thank You to Korin and Janette for having me as a Guest Designer for SNSS...I'm so very excited!


Last but certainly not least, I would like to introduce you to our new Design team member Julie Smith. Julie was one of our November guest designers and we enjoyed having her so we asked her if she would be willing to stay on as our newest team member and we are so happy that she agreed.



Julie Smith- Hi, my name is Julie Smith (hobbywoman on SCS) and I am super excited to be a guest designer for November! I am married, have 2 teenage boys, and work full time selling insurance. I started out stamping many years ago…dabbled in that a bit, then did some scrapbooking, and eventually came back around – full circle to stamping again. I’d say it’s almost an obsession at this point! When I have free, time you can either find me in my stamp room or surfing the internet looking for inspiration to stamp something!

Welcome JenMarie, Pattie, and Julie, we look forward to seeing the projects you will have to share with us!

January Guest Designers!

We are so excited to introduce our January Guest Designers! Both are very creative and talented and you will love what they have to share with us this month.

Debi Southard will be posting on Saturdays! 

  

 I live outside of Syracuse, New York with my husband of 24 years (and yes I was a teenage bride) and our 5 children ranging in age from 20 to 6 years old as well as various cats, a dog, a bird and whatever else the kiddos drag home. I guess you could label me a Work-at-Home mom. I have been blessed to be able to stay home, raising my children as well babysitting and providing foster care for countless other children as well. My husband, Jeff and I felt the call to become foster parents over 12 years ago. We had two wonderful boys of our own and wanted to open up our home to maybe make some small difference in the lives of children in need. Since that time we have been blessed to have fostered many children, some only for a couple of day, some for years. Three we have adopted and a couple others still call me mom even though we never got to make it permanent.

To keep myself sane I craft. Since 2002 I have been scrapbooking and stamping. In 2005 I found SplitCoastStampers (where I am know as debils) there I lurked for a while, watching, learning and playing along with the challenges until I finally found the courage to start a gallery and later a blog. For the last year and a half I have enjoyed being a member of several design teams both as a guest and as a permanent member.

Jennifer Scull will be posting on Tuesdays!

My name is Jennifer Scull, and I have been paper crafting for about 10 years. I started as a scrapbooker, but went to that ONE stamping party and have been making cards & altered projects ever since! :) In the past year I have found the wonderful world of digis. Love the versatility they bring!

Thankfully my family is supportive of my habit, um, my hobby. wink, wink! I have been married for 23 years to my college sweetheart and have 3 teenage boys. Hubby started his career as a golf professional, but left after 25 years to go into the ministry. He currently serves as the Director of a Christian camp as well as the Director of Youth Ministries for our Church District. Through the many valleys as well as mountain tops we have experienced in life, God has remained ever faithful, ever loving, and ever present. For that I give thanks EVERY single day!
