Speedy Fox Featured Designer - Lois Bak



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.  I hope I’m getting better at these tutorials now that I’ve done several of them over the past few months.  I recently tried to retire from my full-time bookkeeping job, but they won’t let me.  Actually, I’m now working from home a few hours a week.   That gives me more time to spend on my avocation (passion) – stamping and paper-crafting.  My mom lives in an assisted living facility, and the residents are recipients of a lot of my cards.  I have also sent many packages of cards to Operation Write Home, a project which provides cards to servicemen and women overseas – for them to use in writing back to their families.  That reminds me that I should get another box out to them. 



Be sure to check out Lois' blog Clown Mom Creations for some great inspiration and beautiful creations. This week Lois created the coolest technique using Shaving Cream tutorial for us. You can find it on SpeedyTV. If you are not a member of SpeedyTV no worries join today it is FREE!!!!

Be sure to come back next week for another great tutorial from our Featured Designer Kelli Jo. .
