 Amber Kroeling

 

My name is Amber Kroening. I'm a 36 year old Marine Corps wife, and work at home mom to 3 cutie pies. My husband and I have been married for 13 years. He retired in September 2012 after serving for 20 years.

I've been stamping since February '08.  I would describe my style as fresh, clean, happy, and simple.  Although I do want to do more mixed media this year!  I also enjoy making hairbows, scrapbooking, making jewelry, and photography. As you can see, I love to be creative!

My other passion is dogs.  I have three of my own plus I volunteer with a local rescue, and we almost always have a foster dog staying with us.  My daughter and I help out at adoption events every Saturday.  I also help the rescue with web graphics and by taking pictures of the adoptable dogs.  

I love every minute of it!

Tracy Freeman 

Hiya ! I'm Tracy, 34, I live on the fens with my VERY understanding hubby and fur babies.  I have been crafting since I was child, but was always into painting & cross stitch, then one day I saw a card making kit and thought "I want to try that"....fast forward 10+ years and I now am very lucky to have my own craft room that I can get messy and creative in everyday.  I don't really have a crafting style, I equally enjoy cute & dark and grungy projects. I do love working with different mediums and learning new techniques. 

Crafting is what keeps me  sane (well semi sane) . I am an all round crafter and make cards, mixed media & scrapbook.  To say I was happy when I was asked aboard the Visible Image team is a total understatement! They are a very talented team, and Visible Image produce such wonderful
 products, I cannot wait to get creating with them!

Kim Bacon

Hi! My name is Kim. I am older than I would like to be but young at heart. 

I live in Buckinghamshire with my husband, 3 sons and 2 dogs. I have crafted ever since I can remember.  I come from a background of crafty people.  Sewing, knitting, baking, painting, paper crafts, woodworking, pottery, model making, etc have always been part of my life. I have upholstered three piece suites, made patchwork quilts, done cross stitch, made my own paper, made stained glass pieces, and so much more but always come back to working with paper.  I started making cards 20 years ago. Things were hard to come by then, all that you could get was office stationary.  Rubber stamps were what the post office used, ink pads came in red, black or blue, and envelopes were either white or Manila!  And of course there was no Internet!  How things have changed! I am thrilled that we can now all get such wonderful products to craft with and have such easy access to inspiration. I look forward to sharing my passion for paper crafting with you.

Susan Moffatt

I love creating - I have flitted between cardmaking and scrapbooking but the scrapbooking has really taken a back seat although I'm trying very hard to get back into it. I have also cross stitched in the past but when I had to cross stitch over 100 orders of service for a friend’s wedding I made myself a bit sick of cross stitch and haven’t really touched it since.

What do I love about stamping? I love bringing the little characters in stamps to life, I have always loved colouring in and that little girl who used to ask her Dad every day if he had a colouring book for her has never really grown up so being able to colour in to create cards is a fantastic part of it.

I like to try and show folk what other things you can do with products and not necessarily stick to what's expected of a particular thing.
