"We do what we love
And we love what we do
Sharing two by two
Ink, watercolor, pencils and chalk
With each new piece,
We leave our mark
Tips, techniques tried and true
Sharing makes us better at what we do
We post our art and wait to see
What other's comments will be
We take the good and the bad
Without making a face or being sad
Stampscapes allows us to create a scene
Maybe it's only something we dream
But with our heart
We create our art"

About Me |
I have been making cards for about 5 years. What started out as just computer generated cards has now turned into a growing love for different styles, art and techniques. I am retired and love having the time to just "play" in my office trying new things. I have taken several classes and it always amazes me the new things that I learn all the time.
John and I met in collage and we have been married 38 years. Our first love is our family and the joy we get spending time with them. We started our lives with raising Scott, my brother, and finally being blessed with our daughter Traci. Their son, Hayden (4) is the light of our lives now. What a thrill to see our daughters son and live life through him as he learns, tests and grows.
I would love to be able to "support my habit" and be able to sell some of my cards so I can continue to enjoy my hobby.
I love doing Digital Photo Shows and think it is a great way to share your family photos, vacations and special events with family and friends.

Introduce Yourself:
John and I have been blessed with our daughter Traci, and raised my brother, Scott. Traci and hubby, Tim, have a son, Hayden (4) who is the light of our lives. They live near us and I can't imagine daily life without them. Scott and his wife Autumn live in California and are both hard working and adventurous, enjoying all the thrills that life has to offer. We wish they lived closer but keep them close in our hearts. John works for our local police department as an evidence technician and court liason officer. He loves his job and will continue to work as long as he is able. I love being retired, watching Hayden when Traci has to work, and having the time to work on my hobbies. I love working on my computer, have a large base of email friends and am active in my high school class from Wiesbaden, Germany. We have an alumni base of about 200 and try to have a reunion every 3-5 years to keep in touch. That was a very special time for us, bound together by the unique place and time. Now scattered all across the United States, we are only separated by miles, as we will always have a special connection, few will ever understand. I love making hand made cards and just recently found Stampscapes rubber stamps which are all scenic stamps that are only limited by your imagination. I joined a chat group for Stampscapes and have learned so much from them! Enjoy my web pages and share in a look at my life. |
