Pamela’s Gallery

TWO new rubbah gals are joining the FCD team!!

Please leave a warm welcoming comment for Dana Seymour and Ceal Pritchett!!

A little about Dana:

As my blogger profile says, I’m a left-handed art & craft freak! I’ve been some sort of an artist since I was small, and always knew it would be a large part of my life. I enjoy papercrafts, altered art, knitting, cooking, gardening, reading, and music. I fell into the stamping hobby by accident in 2000, when looking online for handmade greeting card ideas, and have never looked back! My card making style is pretty eclectic and I like to dabble in just about everything from vintage/shabby to clean and simple.
My husband and I are the proud parents of 2 adopted boys, 2 cats and 1 dog. We live in beautiful upstate New York. I am a PPQ Officer with the USDA and spend most of my workdays outside inspecting for insects, plant diseases, and other invasive species. I am proud and honored to be a DT member for Firecracker Designs by Pamela!

Hey Ladies and Gents! FCD is proud to welcome Chris Dickinson to the FCD design team! Chris will start her sojourn into FCD land officially on March 1, but she’s so excited to be here, she has already started playing with our stamps, and has even  joined our blog hop for Feb! Please give her a big shout out!!

Here’s a little sample of what’s to come!

A little about Chris:

Hello! I am Chris Dickinson. I live in SE Wisconsin with my husband of 16 years. I have a personal relationship with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I have 4 beautiful children whom I Home school.  I am in Leadership of the Card Ministry Team at our church. My hobbies include stamping, scrapbooking and reading. I have been scrapbooking for 12 years and stamping for 8 years. I am currently on a weight loss journey that has been an exciting process! I am so excited to be part of the Firecracker  Designs By Pamela Design Team! Thank you for the opportunity

Can’t wait til March 1 to see MORE of Chris’s work? Check out her blog here!

I’d like to announce another NEW digital designer is joining the FCD team! Please welcome Cat Gondek of  Catstamps blog!!

Cat has a fun and quirky sense of humor, and her images are a HOOT!! She  writes her own phrases and often emails me in RHYME! I think  you’re going to get a kick out her digis!!

A little about her:

‘I’ve been stamping since before MOST of you stampers were even born — anybody else remember cutting a potato and dipping it in that awful powdered tempera paint that stayed gloppy no matter what? I am semi retired and live in Michigan and Florida, running back and forth between the two to dodge snowstorms and hurricanes. We travel heavy - with a dog, 2 cats and 3 birds all in the same car with my dear husband. Mike is a marathoner and ironman, which means he goes for long training runs and bike rides which gives me lots of time to play.’- Cat

Here’s two I did using her image Giroid! This is her first FCD image! You can buy this one as well as her 3 new Manatees which will be available along with the phrases and  rhymes she creates for them on our digi sale page here.

Hey gang, we’ve got a real treat for you! Say HELLO to Lydia Fiedler! She is the spotlight artist for FCD this month, and I’ll be sharing her art with you for the next few weeks!

A little about her:

Lydia Fiedler is a paper arts instructor in Austin, TX. She has been stamping since her early teen years when she embossed over the burners on her mom’s gas stove! She had a stamping television show in the Austin market and has been published in a variety of paper arts magazines. She has her main paper arts blog - www.understandblue.blogspot.com and www.projectreanimate.blogspot.com which features recycled art.

A  listing of all the wonderful talented people who have spent a month designing art as a spot light guest on my team with links to their galleries and bios, on my site. As you can see, I have a hard time keeping up with this feature….altho I LOVE to spotlight different artists, and see what they can do with a set of FCD stamps!
