Speedy Fox Featured Designer - Pam

Hi, my name is Pam and I am originally from Ohio.  I moved to Colorado after marrying Jeff in 1988.  We

have two beautiful, smart, talented and athletic girls; Bailey and MacKenna.  Both of my daughters play soccer.  Bailey is an assistant coach for high school and MacKenna plays center forward on a college soccer scholarship.

I am passionate about many things and my favorite thing is to watch my girls play soccer.  I also love music, dancing, biking, hiking and camping, too. When not doing something with or for my girls, my biggest passion is paper!  I’ve been making my own greeting cards for as long as I can remember.  I do believe I am a paper hoarder!  I succumbed to stamping in 2006 when I went to a SU! Party and as everyone says, “The rest is history!

My journey with Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Company as a design team member began in April of 2011.  I feel very fortunate to have personally met Lois and some other awesome people in the stamping world.  I feel blessed to be a member of this great company and to be able to share my love of stamping and creativity.

I am a big fan of using fun, different techniques.  Today, I will be illustrating the great technique; homemade chevrons.  Just a few fairly simple steps and you have a really beautiful creation.

You can view Pam's latest tutorial here on SpeedyTV or her blog here for more inspiration.

Speedy Fox Featured Designer - Lois B

I’m Lois, and I’ve been a member of the Senior Design Team for Mark’s Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company, since Day One, back in 2009.  Like the founder of Mark’s Finest Papers, I live in Florida – although like most Floridians, I was born somewhere else.  I am a transplant from rural Bucks County, Pennsylvania, having moved to Florida in 1968.   I’m a widow; my husband of 41 years died in 2003.  I have three grown children and eight grandchildren – ranging in age from 21 down to 3.   

I got into this addictive hobby like many others – I attended a Stampin’ Up workshop at my best friend’s house, knowing absolutely nothing about rubber stamping.  I felt rather overwhelmed by the scope of what the demonstrator showed us, so I bought just one stamp set, a couple of ink pads and some paper.  And, as happens to all of us, the rest is history!!!  That was in 2005.  Here I am seven years later, completely absorbed into the craft of stamps and ink!  I do enjoy learning new techniques.  

You can find Lois' latest tutorial Faux Leather An Embossing Folder on SpeedyTV here and her blog here for more inspiration.
