Simply Betty Stamps

Simply Betty Stamps was born in 2010 when I had to close down my actual store due to my youngest being a premie.  I was home, with a brand new baby and felt so helpless just being home without working.  I knew how to draw and had always wanted to be a stamp designer, but how the heck to get it up and running was something I knew nothing about.  I started blogging, got on my first DT position and learned all about the digi world.  Still didn't know how to go about making digis, as I am totally old school and go paper and pencil all the way!  I had to hire artists that new how to make "clean lines" or "lineart" for digis.  I started my business with other artist rather than drawing myself as again, I had no clue on how to do it.  I started googling and searching the web on how to and here we are three years later.  Most my images are drawn and made up from my own little family, mostly my kids and they are named after them as well.  Moving forward now with a few artists still on board but myself included in the art work as I love nothing more than to sketch something out, "lineart it" print it and color it!  I love what I do, I absolutely love more than anything the dear friends and fans I have and the joy I get from their friendships more than anything!

This week's PRIZE is ...

Regan

Hello, my name is Regan aka Charmed Stamping.  I've been paper crafting for about ten years, mainly handmade cards.  My addiction started after hosting a Stampin' Up demo to help my best friend launch her business as a consultant.  And to think I insisted I wasn't the crafty type!  lol

In the years that I have been stamping I've amassed a vast array of stamps, gadgets, gizmos and accessories to assist in my card making.  I love to have all the latest stuff so it's a good thing I have no use for a dining room!  I discovered digital stamps in 2008 and a whole new obsession was born!  It is amazing to see my growth as a paper crafter over the years. To look at my first card now and see how far I've come is pretty cool!  I've also met some lovely people through this wonderful hobby and have many new friends because of it!

As for the rest of it ... I just hit the big 4-0 and I'm a busy, working, single mom to one very handsome (almost) four year old son, who is the love of my life!  We live in New England and share our abode with a feline named Gizmo.  And though my small man has made finding time for stamping more challenging, somehow I still manage to squeeze it in.

The Stamping Chef

The Stamping Chef was born in November 2012, after I (Tamara) decided to switch from the scrapbook community to the crafter side of designing. Drawing is my passion, and my style is fun, cute and doodlish ... I think =D. I love to see images come to life when they're colored by amazing crafters. Creating digital images can be a tedious process, but I love each and every step of it. I have a lovely bunch of ladies standing next to me, creating, giving me advice, and help me every where they can. I'm so totally new in this great adventure, but I love it! It's so totally different than I'm used to. I hope I can provide you with loads of cute, happy, funny images you can work with.

Offering three (3) images of  WINNER's Choice!

Eureka Stamps

Eureka Rubber Stamps offers some wonderful hand calligraphy verses, beautiful large alphabet letters and backgrounds perfect to use as monograms or to compliment your verses and greetings, fine art animals, whimsical valentine characters, and lots of cute Christmas and birthday stamps for cat and dog lovers.

Offering five (5) images of  WINNER's Choice!

Di's Digi Downloads

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4-yrs ago when I bought my daughter a card-making kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like-minded people. 

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back. I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Offering a $10.00 Gift Certificate to the Store!

Sassy Studio Designs

Sassy Studio Designs is a fresh new company. We have been designing and selling for 4 years now, and we have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters. I started designing images shortly after I started stamping, reason being ... I didn't hardly like anything else out there I was a young adult woman at the time I was engaged, had no kids, I wanted fun sexy images that I would enjoy using and my friends and hubby would enjoy receiving. I designed images for 2 other digi stamp companies when my wonderful hubby kept trying to get me to go out on my own. So in June 2009 thanks to the few faithful followers I had, Sassy Studio Designs was born!  It has been a wonderful journey starting my own store. We have just grown so much these past months. I still try to keep Lindsay Dyer: keep with my original philosophy and reason for designing stamps, make them fun and keep them sassy...and yes sometimes even sexy!

Offering four (4) Sassy Digital Stamps of WINNER's Choice.

Judy

For many years I made cross stitched cards and small projects (one nighters) until late 2007 when I gingerly transferred to card making. It was some time before stamping took hold but once it did WOW there no stopping me, I just love it! I had silently followed the blogs avidly but only plucked up the courage to form my own blog in February 2011! It was so scary hitting ‘publish’ for the first time, but now I wonder why I did not do this before. I feel I have come such a long way, am now on two Design Teams, and also am enjoying doing commissions for Papercrafts Essentials magazine, the first of which was Published in February 2013. It is a great hobby, and one that is definitely a pleasure to share. Do feel free to drop by and say hello on http://inkypinkydelights.blogspot.com/.
