(challenge week of October 20 to October 26)

Patricia Cousins

Codroy Valley, Newfoundland, Canada

Here's what Patricia shared with us:
"My name is Patricia and I am a proud Newfoundlander! I was born and raised only a 30 minute drive from where I live now, which is the beautiful Codroy Valley. I have been with my partner Brent for 11 years and we have two sons, Jarod who is 9 and Nick who is almost 4. I discovered Ippity a year and a half ago when, after 7 years of scrapbooking,  I decided that I wanted to learn how to stamp. I did a google search on stamp companies and I have been in LOVE with Ippity and Unity ever since! I love showing people how fun scrapbooking, cardmaking and altering items can be when you use stamps. Brent recently built me a beautiful craft room in the basement so I am looking forward to inviting my friends over for some crafty fun!"

Sherri Thompson

 Skowhegan, Maine

Here's a little bit about Sherri:

  "I have been a papercrafter for many years.  I started scrapbooking when my kiddos were little, and I added stamping and cardmaking about 7 years ago.  I met many of my scrappy friends while teaching classes at my local scrapbook store.  When the store was sold about 2 years ago, I wanted to find a way to continue teaching these classes.  I did some research and found Ippity-and I'm so glad that I did!  I love that these stamps are the best quality out there, they're made in the USA, and they have the best designs anywhere!  I now get to share my love of stamping and my love of Ippity by teaching workshops, blogging about my creations, and sharing Ippity through my Etsy shop."
