About me - Connie Piotter

I am also known as SoDakStamper. I live in the beautiful Coteau Hills of the Prairies of South Dakota on a working cattle ranch. Where the Coyotes roam and the stamp stores are few. I am married with 6 kids, all grown, married and moved out.

I've been stamping for about 10 years since my sister and a good friend urged me to try. I have been published in The Rubber Stamper, Scrap & Stamp Arts, The Canadian Stamper, Vamp Stamp News and several smaller publications. I am on several design teams and each is different.

I don't think I have a "style" as I like most types of images except for cute. I tend to concentrate on color and layout rather than embellishments....just call me the "Simple Stamper". I love making backgrounds and usually torture paper till it screams.

When I am not stamping I enjoy reading a good thriller, feeding birds, working on my "still unfinished" Koi pond or visiting my grandkids.

I love the Sweet Pea line of images and think I will enjoy working with the other team members. Who knows? Maybe that adorable "Gumdrop Gang" will get me into "cute" yet!
