JACQUIE HEFFNER

I live in San Jose, CA, with my family, hubby of 26 plus years, two
wonderful kids, Laura, 23, Stephen, 18, and our two cats, Roxy and Myshgie. I
have rubber stamped off and on for about 20 years, and last year become fully
addicted to rubber stamping.
As I wanted to share my love of stamping with others, the
"AfterHoursStamper.com" blog was born. There are so many great ways to
rubber stamp and I am finding that the more you stamp the more there is to
discover about a product or technique.
When I am not stamping or blogging I am usually cooking,
gardening, embroidering or just hanging out with my family.

MARY

This is my 1st Tutorial Team to be on. I also just became a

member of the Modern Sugar Blvd. DT, my 1st DT too.
I've lived here in Austin since I was 4. And I got started
with Scrapbooking/Card making when dh and I moved to NW
Austin, about 4 years ago. Plus, my mil owns a local scrapbook
store so that's where I get the majority of my supplies (family
discounts are nice).
I love learning new things and my friends always ask me
about how to do things craft wise. And I have a blog (Cr8iveMe)
where I post my how to videos.
I look forward to working/learning from this team.

MICHELLE HOUCK
When I was a little girl, I made my first layout with crayons and paper writing
the LORD’s Prayer and then taping it to my door. Since then I held a
fascination with paper! When scrapbooks were those long, spiral bound packs
of construction paper (showing my age here. :) )I would “scrap” everything.
One year when I just had my second child and money was tight, I created a
scrapbook album for my Mother-in-Law. It didn’t cost very much but the look
on her face was priceless and encouraged me on the path I am on now. I have
been creating off and on since then. It fills a void inside allowing me to
express my inner self in a comfortable way.

People often ask me where I get my ideas, how do I create, how do they get
started. My advice is not to worry, just make something and be consistent.
The more you create the more creative you become. You’ll start to look at
things differently and find your inspiration from common objects you see every day.

PEGGY SALOMONSSON
I am an American and crafter living in Sweden since 2005. I have enjoyed
some form of crafting practically my entire life but was introduced to
stamping by a co-worker and have been hooked ever since. I opened a
rubber stamp and papercrafting business 2 years ago and plan to have
classes in a nearby city. My favorite crafting personality is Tim Holtz and I
am a huge Ranger product fan and have a Ranger Ink/EP certification.
Living in a different country I have had to adjust to not being able to go out
and buy crafting items or supplies I want or need like I could in the states.
