Hello from Holley

Hello all!

My name is Holley. I live in Austin, TX. I have been a fan of stamping since 1998 when I stumbled into a scrapping shop. I had always been a big crafter, but never found a single craft that I was in love with until then. Though it was a scrapbooking store, I was drawn to this shelf of rubber stamps, embossing powders, and card making accessories. Ten years later and I am still in love with rubber stamping.

I like "cute" style stamping and all those funny corny sayings that go with stamps. My favorite technique lately is watercoloring images. I also love simple elegant looking cards that people think came off the store shelves. I enjoy making mini sized cards and using unusual templates to create things.

I have been published in many magazines such as The Rubber Stamper, Vamp Stamp News, and Stamper's Sampler. I also teach classes at some of my local stores in rubber stamping, wire working, polymer clay, and jewelry making. In my "off" time, I occasionally work as a Test Engineer (gotta have something to pay for all those stamps, huh?)

I look forward to sharing works with all of you and hearing your feedback! I am honored to be joining this group of talented ladies on the Sweet Pea Design team.

Cheers, Holley
