JOAN ERVIN

 

I have been stamping for several years and have been on the Rubbernecker DT for three years.....it all began with my daughter, Holly, who sparked my interest in stamping. I have always been crafty and love to quilt, sew, and tole paint, too. I don't have a particular style because I love it all...shabby chic, CAS, cutsy, elegant, layers, no layers...I  even dabble in a little scrapbooking! On a personal note, I am married to my wonderful husband, George, and we have five children, four of whom are married and we have twelve grandchildren. We also have four donkeys and two horses and they are spoiled rotten!!! I work part time in a local hospital as a nurse educator and am active in my church.

OH MY!!  How AWESOME are these creations!!  SERIOUSLY?  Now, you know what I have been saying, be sure to visit JOAN at STAMPING WITH PASSION!!  She has SO much more to share with you!!  See you all tomorrow for our FIRST PREVIEW DAY!!  YAY!!  I cannot wait!!  Until then..................

CATHY BOMGARDNER

Hello my name is Cathy or Mutnik if you are on Splitcoaststampers. I have been stamping and making cards a little over three years now. My sister introduced me to SCS and the rest is history.  The only training I have had is in tole painting, which I took a few classes of. Other than that I owe a lot of what I know to SCS. I love trying all the different types of coloring techniques and I am always up for trying something new and interesting. That’s why I love the daily challenges SCS offers. It keeps my mind thinking and creating and blood pressure down. Sometimes when I can’t find just the right image, I tend to draw what I need. I especially love doing scenes and whimsical types of cards. I have been married over 39 years, I clean pools by day and do cards by early afternoon. Can’t stay up late, I’m too old. hehe  I have had the privilege of being  on the Clear Dollar Stamps Design Team and am now on the Rubbernecker Stamps Design Team.  Well, that is pretty much it.

 

 

 WOW!!  Now those are some BEAUTIFUL creations, huh?  You can see MORE of Cathy's talent by visiting her SPLITCOAST gallery HERE!  Thanks SO much for spending your time with us today!!  Have a WONDERFUL day and we will see you tomorrow!!

 

ENJOY LIFE~Jacquie/Javablustamper! 

 

 

BACK FOR MORE!!

Hey!  Thanks for stopping back!!  Glad you are here!  As you know, We are introducing our Design Team!  I am SO excited to share the talent, these ladies have, with you!!  Today is NO exception!!   Today I would LOVE to introduce you to, the talented, BEYOND words,..................................

 

CHARLENE MERRICK

 

Check out her talent and get to know her below..............

 

I became captivated with stamping eight years ago when my friend invited me to her Stampin’ Up party,
which I thought had something to do with stamp collecting. I only went out of consideration for my
friend. Little did I expect to be hooked that very evening!

I had never considered myself a creative person and was astonished at how drawn I was to making my
own cards! It is a continuing journey of discovery for me. I love deciding what colors and layouts I want
to use in a design, and I especially love trying different stamping techniques. Coloring my images brings
me peace and tranquility, and I most enjoy coloring with Copic markers or watercolor brushes and
reinkers. I cannot say that I have a particular style of stamping. I am drawn to various stamping styles.
Some days I am in the mood to for clean and simple and other days I am drawn to having many layers
and embellishments in my designs.

I am thankful that I have a husband who encourages and supports me with my hobby, although he does
occasionally tell me I have “too much stuff!” I have three adult stepsons. We have five grandchildren,
although we don’t get to see them as often as we would like since we do not live near each other.

 In addition to stamping, my other interests are reading, watching movies, walking, and listening to
music. I also love spending time with my family and friends and meeting new people!

 
OK, I know I ALWAYS say this....................BUT..................I told you so, didn't I??  WOW!!  What FABULOUS projects!!  What is NOT to love, I ask you?  OK, also as I ALWAYS say.............be sure to visit her!!  You can find her at WHEREMMSGATHER!!  Until tomorrow?  Have a WONDERFUL day!!

 

 

ENJOY LIFE~ Jacquie/Javablustamper!

BEV GERARD 
 

Hello, from Bev Gerard!   I feel so fortunate to be a part of the incredibly talented Rubbernecker team.  I was invited to the team about 2 ½ years ago, and have had the pleasure of meeting and stamping alongside several of the team members as well as the owners of Rubberne cker Stamps.  My first opportunity to actually work at a rubber stamping show was with Rubbernecker, in San Antonio, Texas.  It’s such a joy to meet the many stamp ent husiasts a nd demo something new to them!  

My daughter introduced me to rubber stamping when she came home from college.  She had attended a stamping party, purchased a stamp set and a couple of ink pads, and proceeded to trim and dabble with that set as I watched.  The rest, as they say, is history.  I was intrigued from that moment forward!   While we rarely stamp “together”, we do share stampy chat and supplies on a regular basis.  Like Kittie mentioned, I feel that I owe much of my stamping knowledge to the online community of  SplitCoastStampers.  There, I’m known as TexasGrammy.  I enjoy several different techniques, including paper-piecing, adding dimension, heat embossing, and coloring as well.  So, my collection varies from line-art, to solid images.  

 My life is blessed with my husband, our son and daughter and their spouses, plus our four Grandblessings.  We moved to Texas in 1988, so while we are not “native” … it’s said that we got here as soon as we could!   Happy Trails to you!

 

What did I tell you?  She is something else!!  How BEAUTIFUL, right?!  Alrighty, to see MORE from this AWESOME Design Team member, visit her at SAVOR THE JOURNEY!  See you all tomorrow!!  Bright and EARLY!!  Thanks SO much for sharing with us today!!

 

ENJOY LIFE~Jacquie/Javablustamper

MEET  FRAN GUMPRECHT-

Hi everyone. My name is Fran Gumprecht. I've been married to my
wonderful supportive husband Joe for 36 years. We have three grown sons and four wonderful grandchildren. We moved from Florida to Louisville KY. in 1976. This is home!

I was invited to my first stamp party about ten years ago. I was so
overwhelmed  when I received my order I put it all in a closet and never
used it. I was invited back the next year, bought again, discovered
Splitcoaststampers and the rest is history! It is a privilage to work with Dave (owner of Rubbernecker) and all these super talented ladies.
