Happy Birthday Grandma Bonnie!

Bonnie has also been a Sami Stamps Design Team Member since September 2013. Bonnie is a second generation SAHM, which she calls SAHGM. (”G” for grandma.) Bonnie has been watching her grandkids for 7 years. She is also going through a second generation of crafting and has a scrapbook that is almost 60 years old fill with all her favorite memories. Bonnie has been featured in Stamper’s Sampler. Card crafting isn’t the only thing she likes to do, if  Bonnie is not working on cards, you’d see her working at her sewing mechine, crocheting or trying any new craft technique out there...Bonnie loves a new challenge!

Bonnie's style is simply adorable! I'm always delighted with each new card she creates. She has a great talent for paring embellishments, papers, and colors to the image that makes the whole card flow together and it feels as if the embellishments and paper were made to go together. I'm so happy to have Bonnie as a part of the Sami Stamps team!

Here are a few of my favorite Grandma Bonnie creations!

Happy Birthday to Sami Stamps DT Member: Bettina Leikvoll!


Bettina has been a Design Team Member here at Sami Stamps since September 2013.

Bettina started crafting late 2009 due to making baptism invitations and it was in 2010 that she really got hooked. Bettina thoroughly enjoys making cards, both folded and with lots of embellishments and she also loves making boxes and other little projects. Her favorite tools to use when it comes to crafting are dies and promarkers and she is hooked on embellishments as well. Other things Bettina enjoys doing is gardening, playing piano, singing, and playing with her kids.

I love Bettina's style! I am particularly drawn to the way Bettina colors her images. As an artist the thing that always draws my eye first when looking at a craft project is the way the image was colored. The coloring of an image can make or break a card for me. And I just love how Bettina colors images! Her blending and shading always impresses me.

Bettina cards are usually busy and uses a lot of embellishments. She has a real talent for arranging and designing cards where her embellishments flow and work together and never look cluttered. Bettina has been a real asset to the Sami Stamps Design Team and I sure appreciate her talent!

Here are a few of my favorite past projects from Bettina. 

Sami Stamps Image "Balloon Puppy"

Sami Stamps Image "Bubble Bath Fairy."

Sami Stamps Image "Love Struck."

Sami Stamps Image "Mushroom Fairy."

Sami Stamps Image "Warm Love."

Sami Stamps Image "Zombie Beauty."

If you love Bettina's work like I do- Check out her blog HERE and leave a comment or two. Who doesn't love comments? And what better way to give her a little birthday gift than to not only wish her a Happy Birthday but to also let her know what projects of hers you appreciate!
