Getting to know Lindsay:

My name is Lindsay Amrhein and I live in Northeast Ohio with my husband John and our two year old Jonathan.  I love the outdoors and when I am not camping, riding my bike or playing outside with my toddler, you will likely find me making a card (or shopping for supplies to make the cards)!  I love sharing my passion for paper with my family and friends, who are the recipients of my projects.   

Be sure to leave Lindsay some love! Click on her name to be directed to her blog.

And the team's take on the sketch.

Our team used images from our sponsor this week Prairie Fairy Design. 

 

Hello! I am Roberta from Prairie Fairy Designs. I am a new digital stamp company featuring artwork not only created by me but also my two kids, ages 8 and 11. They are featured on the site as the Fairy Princess and the Prairie Prince.

I have been an artist for as long as I can remember and have always loved to create. Two years ago my sister-in-law invited me to a rubber stamp party. I laughed and said "Maybe I will buy something if I can use it to stamp on canvases.". Needless to say, I was hooked! Two years later and a lot of learning about computers, I have finally accomplished my goal.

While digital stamping is relatively new in the papercrafting scene, it is what I believe to be such an amazing tool. Printed images have such clarity and vibrancy and gone is the need to re stamp an image because you didn't press hard enough or maybe you pressed too hard! They are also a lot easier to store and they can be reprinted over and over again. The fact that you can rotate and flip files, print them off the size of a postage stamp or as large as a scrapbook page makes them such a versatile medium. It is my sincere hope that I can help anyone who has hesitations about using digital images to embrace these amazing creative tools. If you have any questions about going digital, check out the site and the blog (www.prairiefairy.blogspot.com) for more information, tips and tutorials.
