Amber’s love of paper crafts began in 2005 after she bought a scrapbooking kit from an Avon catalog. All the cute die cuts and sparkly embellishments had her hooked in no time! She stole a corner of her husband’s office for a small table to hold her goodies and within in 3 months had completely taken the room over! Amber and her husband are both in the Air Force and are currently stationed on Okinawa, Japan. They have two Labrador Retrievers, Luke and Jesse. When she’s not working, stamping or scrapbooking, she can be found doing homework for her college classes, taking her dogs for walks, or exploring the island with her husband. In addition to being a member of the Verve Design Team, Amber is also a Design Team member for Jacksonbelle Embellishments. You can view more of Amber’s creations on her blog, The Stamping Scrapbooker. To view Amber's Verve projects, please visit her gallery.

Amy Sheffer had spent most of her life in a series of short-lived love affairs with various arts and crafts when the creative equivalent of "Mr. Right" waltzed into her world at a friend's in-home stamping workshop one fine Spring day in 2002. It's been stamping, stamping, and more stamping ever since! Currently, her main focus is card-making, but she always tries to make at least a little time for scrapbooking and altering 3-D items. Amy lives in Northern Virginia on the far outskirts of Washington, DC, with her husband and their three children. Besides stamping, she also enjoys reading, photography, traveling, and rummaging through antique stores. You can see more of her creations on her blog, Pickled Paper Designs.

Bethany Paull was introduced to rubber stamping in 2002 at a friend's in-home workshop. She was instantly drawn to stamping as, what she calls, 'a creative release for the artistically challenged.' She most enjoys card-making, but also finds time for scrapbooking and the occassional 3-D project. Bethany lives in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, PA with her husband and their goofy Basset / Lab mix. You can visit Bethany at her blog, It's Not All Black & White. To view Bethany's Verve projects, please visit her gallery.

Laura's paper craft journey began shortly after the birth of her first daughter, when she saw a scrapbooking segment on the Home and Garden network.  What started with a way to document her daugher's first year soon became an all consuming passion that expanded into all paper crafts when she was introduced to stamping 5 years later. Laura explores many forms of paper crafting that allow her creative energies to have focus and form.  She has a particular fondness for cardmaking, and shares many of her projects on her blog www.scrapnextras.com .  Laura lives in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada with her husband Al, and daughters Amy and Carly.

Shannan Teubner got hooked on stamping when a good friend gave her a hand stamped tile coaster. It is now referred to as the "Million Dollar Coaster" because the tiny shoebox of supplies has now taken over a room in her house. One of her favorite parts of stamping is the art of acquiring new goodies. Shannan's love for sparkle, color, and ribbon shines through in both her creations and her personality. In addition to serving as the Verve Design Team Coordinator, she is a Senior Design Team Member for My Favorite Things. You can see more of her creations on her blog, Pink Tulle with Feathers and Sequins. To view Shannan's Verve projects, please visit her gallery.

Susan’s love affair with all things crafty began at a very young age.  She learned to sew on a sewing machine at the age of six and always loved drawing and coloring.  As time passed, her talents grew.  She eventually explored the worlds of acrylic painting and scrapbooking and became good at both.  Susan was introduced to stamping by a friend about eight years ago, but thought it was a silly craft (all those supplies!).  She continued scrapbooking full force as the few stamp sets she had acquired sat lonesome on a shelf.  Then a few years and 14 scrapbooks later, she rediscovered stamping through a very talented friend, and she has never looked back!  Susan now has a “studio” in her bedroom dedicated to the craft and is graciously supported by her husband, Eric.  She lives in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of North Texas and finds time to stamp and be crafty in between taking care of their 3 girls, Shelbie (16), Lindsie (7) and Audrie (4).
