NEW Design Team Member @ Visible Image



Hello and thank you for visiting us today.


We are thrilled to announce that we have another 
NEW Design Team member!


Claire England has been impressing us with her fabulous cards and projects
over the past few months, and we are really happy 
that Claire has now joined our team!



Here are a few samples of Claire's fantastic work
with our stamps...


















 



Wonderful work! 




Here's a little bit about Claire...
 
 
Claire England
 
 
 
 
Hi all, my name is Claire and a sell confessed crafter, mother to Ben and wife to Anthony, who is a shop Designer - as my husband would say clearly in that order (Crafter/Mother/Wife). 

I have been crafting since I could walk, and as a teenager earned my pocket money by selling my craft at local craft fairs. I have been in the care profession for most of my career, mainly as an Arts and Crafts practitioner (Teacher) which meant that I could indulge in my passion whilst being paid for it and help others to learn and enjoy as well.   

As I am now in mainly Management roles, I have had to curtail my crafting to my home where my fantastic husband (clearly helping me write this) has converted the spare bedroom into my craft-room where I can indulge my passion. I enjoy most crafts but prefer paper crafts, card making, stamping, in fact anything and everything. 

I have also been drafted in to help my wonderful husband to help landscape his model train layout (which fills the whole attic) and have the role of Assistant in charge of anything Anthony says. You can look at the progress at www.pinterest.com/claireengland2/ 

 I hope you enjoy my ideas and designs.  

 
 
 
 
 
Welcome to the team Claire! 


We cannot wait to see what you create with our 
NEW stamps over the coming months :)


If you missed yesterday's post....
Come and meet our other NEW Design Team member
 





Thanks for coming to read our latest news!
 
We will be back soon with some more fabulous Design Team inspiration.

NEW Visible Image Design Team Member





Good Evening!



We are very excited to announce that Karen Clare has joined our Design Team!



Here are just a few samples of Karen's amazing work...


















Welcome to the team Karen! 


We cannot wait to see what you create with our stamps :)






Here's a little bit about Karen...


 
Karen Clare


I’m Karen also known as “The Clock Lady” the reason being about 3 years ago I saw some CD clocks that had been made at a craft workshop and I thought what a fab idea! I decided to have a go myself and thoroughly enjoyed making them, the interest in them and my craft work grew and grew along with my ideas and inspiration and the desire to create larger MDF clock designs. I sell my designs and that is how I became known as The Clock Lady because people attending events asked for me by this name. 

More recently I've started to dip my toe into altered art and MDF projects and started running workshops near where I live in Swanley, Kent. One of my workshops included the "Tarmac Technique" which has gained considerable interest so much so that I'm venturing off around the country holding a couple more workshops this year.  I'd prefer to be known as "The Clock Lady" rather than the "Tarmac Lady" though! Lol

I live with my husband and grown up daughter who support my craft work whole heartedly and a very naughty Beagle, Frasier, who does everything in his power to cause mischief and mayhem! I’m very fortunate to be able to do something I absolutely love full time and have a wonderful support network of crafty friends whose talents I admire greatly. I’ve crafted all my life and always made cards and keepsake gifts for friends and family and I love experimenting with and exploring all the wonderful products and techniques that are now available. 



Karen has joined us at a very exciting time! 

We are really looking forward to working with you Karen :)
