Stamping With Bibiana

Hello, my name is Bibiana I was born in Colombia, South America. I grew up between Mexico and France and currently live in California, where I discovered the Art of Scrapbooking, Mix Media and Card Making. As long as I can remember, my two worlds have been Languages and Arts. Nowadays, I teach French and Spanish and work as an interpreter/translator. In the world of Arts, I have ventured into all sorts of crafts from crochet, knitting, and refinishing furniture to scrapbooking, mix media, pastel and acrylic painting. I started cardmaking and teaching in 2008 and received an invitation to join the Memory Box design team. I write two foreign language blogs for them- "Un Brin de Créativité" in French and "A crear se dijo!" in Spanish. Stamping is a wonderful hobby. It has made me extremely happy, has been a door to wonderful opportunities of growth, and has given me the chance to meet real nice and sweet people from all sorts of backgrounds that share this same passion...like YOU! I hope that you find something inspiring through what I like to do!

 

Anne Thompson

Anne's Notes from the Woodshed

I am a native Mainer living in my family home and helping to care for my aging parents. I retired several years ago from a career as a teacher/school library media specialist. I discovered rubber stamping about ten years ago and started teaching card-making classes soon after. Unfortunately, my local stamp store closed about a year ago, the last one in the area. I still teach occasional classes for a group of dedicated stampers who have continued to meet every Monday as well as seasonal card classes at the town Senior Center. I have been on the Memory Box Design Team for a while now and have really fallen in love with dies and stencils. I enjoy making books and three-dimensional constructions that incorporate many different materials and techniques and have recently begun to add fabric into the mix. I strive to create something every day, even if it's just a sketch in my journal, an ATC, a tag, or a pleasing arrangement of "stuff" on a side table. The mixed media sign I made that hangs next to my worktable sums up my goals: "Create Art, Dream Big, and Inspire Others".

It’s a privilege to create and teach with Dave Brethauer’s designs!  Our family – including 2 cocker spaniels – loves living in Washington, where MemoryBoxCo began.  Life previously revolved around careers in consumer products and institutional sales.  I’ve taught hundreds of classes and now design and sell class kits thru Impress in Seattle and Stamps+Memories in Hawaii.  Teaching rewards me with a loyal following of great students and lasting friendships. I hope that connection continues thru class kits and social media. The design plan is simple – imagine the result, then work backwards to find the perfect Memory Box, Poppystamps and Birch Press Design products to create it.  I love sharing ideas with you – and hope you’re inspired to create something special with our designs.  You can also find me on Instagram- @jeanokimoto

Laura Fulcher

Laura's Stamp Art Journal

Hi! My name is Laura, and I am an admitted craftaholic. I grew up as a Navy brat and had the wonderful opportunity to live in multiple states as well as the Philippines and England. Currently, I am an East Coast woman and live just outside of Washington DC. I started stamping in 1996 when I walked into a stamp store and was taught about this wonderful thing called "embossing." I have a particular fondness for coloring, whether it is using pencils, Copics, watercolor paints, or good old fashioned crayons. I love to teach stamping classes enjoy meeting new people with the same creative interests as myself. I feel incredibly blessed and grateful to be a part of the Memory Box team with the chance to create with their beautiful dies and stamps. You can also follow me on Instagram- @stampjournal

 

Theary Chea

Cloudy Coral Designs

Hello there! My name is Theary Chea from Cloudy Coral Designs. I am a mother to three beautiful young children and two fur babies. My family and I live in Southern California where we love being outdoors. Growing up, I had always enjoyed getting creative with arts and crafts. I was a stationary fanatic throughout high school and got more into paper crafting as the years grew on. However, I found my love for cardmaking by accident; I remember having one of those restless nights during my first pregnancy and entering the rabbit hole of YouTube. I stumbled upon some cardmakers and instantly fell in love with all of the techniques involved. I am so thrilled to be a part of The Memory Box Co. Design Team. You can find me on Instagram @cloudycoraldesigns and on Youtube

 

Sara Cook

I have been paper crafting for 30 years. Once I saw how to emboss a stamped image, I was hooked. I got my mom and 2 sisters hooked as well. I'm from the Seattle area. The beautiful scenery inspire my work and the Memory Box dies are a perfect starting point. I'm a working mom of 3 and try to work on my paper crafting on the weekends. My husband is very supportive, always amazed with my creations. Joining the Memory Box design team is a dream come true and hope you are inspired by their product as much as I am.
