Meet our new Faculty!

I am so very excited to introduce you to our first Design Team (aka Faculty) here at Stamp School!

These ladies have some very unique styles and I can’t wait to see what they can make to show off our new Stamp School stamps, cardstock, inks and felt!

Hello, my name is Amber and I’m a paper craft addict!  I’ve been scrapping for years, since my high school days.  Now I do altered crafts and cards also.  Crafting is my passion!  When I think back to childhood, I realize that even then I was keeping sticker collections and constantly scribbling in notebooks and diaries!  Now it all translates into my crafting and card making. When I’m not crafting, I’m farming.  I live on a beautiful farm nestled in the Appalachian Mountains with my wonderful Hubby.  I’ve been on several Design Teams in the past and been published in Creating Keepsakes, Cards, and Scrapbook Trends Magazine. It is an honor to be a part of the Stamp School Design Team! You can visit my blog at The Country Scrapper.

I’m Vicki and I adore stamping and creating my cards.  I started back in 1996 but have really gotten into serious stamping about 2008, when I found SCS.  From there it has been an uphill pleasure.  Every day I see or learn something just just makes this hobby more enjoyable for me.  I am so excited to be part of the Stamp School team.  You can find my blog at ALL I DO IS STAMP!

Past Faculty Members

January 2012 – April 2012
My name is Judith (Judy) Rozema. I live in Central Nebraska, in Cornhusker country, and have been married for 29 years. I have a daughter who is a freshman in college, and a married son who is a pastor and lives in North Carolina. Two dogs (labs) and a 17 year old water turtle round out our family.

During the school year, I am a part-time elementary music teacher. When I’m not stamping, I enjoy watching movies, crocheting, and junk jaunts! You might know me on Splitcoaststampers as StampingQueenJAR. My blog is Joy in a JAR and I hope you will stop by for a visit!  I am thrilled and delighted to be a part of the Stamp School Faculty!

 

January 2012 – June 2012

My name is Rochelle Washington.  I live in Lithia Springs, GA with my husband of five years and our two year old son.  I work full time as an Admin. for an Architecture firm in Atlanta.  I’m also a full time student.  When I have a free moment, I fill it with crafting time!  I enjoy playing with ink, paper, stamps and embellishments…it gives me peace. I’m not a tool junkie but, I do enjoy a new tool every now and then.  My favorite crafty tool is my Silhouette SD machine (I love that thing)! I am a card maker to the core.  It’s instant gratification and who doesn’t like “instant”?  I also enjoy creating 3D paper projects and mini albums.  I look forward to learning, sharing and growing with you all!
