Verve Stamps
Senior Designers

Amber Hight
Amber's Photo Amber joined the Verve Divas in May 2008. When she started participating in some of the Verve Challenges, her fabulous layered style and cool layouts immediately captured my attention. She won a spot as our April 2008 Guest Designer in one of our contests, and I just loved her so much I had to ask her to stay. Her unique sense of design and fun-loving attitude are constantly making me smile. And she's the talented sketch artist behind the fabulous Viva la Verve! Challenges, where she brings you a new sketch with a fun {twist} every Friday! Below are a few of my favorite creations from Amber's gallery.

Amy Sheffer
Amy joined the Verve Divas in April 2008. A long time lurker in Amy's Splitcoaststampers gallery, I was absolutely delighted when she started entering my Mojo Monday contests. Every one of her designs are a total work of art, and month after month she was winning, even if I passed the judging off to someone else! As soon as I decided to open up a few new spots on the team she was at the top of my list. Amy is a true gem - amazingly talented, hardworking, and always offering to help others. Her designs show un-rivaled ingenuity, balance, and stunning attention to detail. Below are a few of my favorite creations from Amy's gallery. Amy's Photo

Charmaine Ikach
Charmaine's Photo Charmaine joined the Verve Divas in October 2007. I met her through the wonderful world of blogging, where she had been a loyal reader of my blog and emailed me to ask a few questions about starting her own blog. I'm so glad she did, because I've so enjoyed checking in on her blog every day to see the many gorgeous cards and projects she uploads. Her style is amazing, and this girl can crank out the beauties, let me tell you! Balancing three little ones, a very successful blog and several design teams, Charmaine makes it all look effortless. She's a delight to work with and one of the sweetest gals I know!  I have always admired her clean and simple style and breathtaking technique work. Below are a few of my favorite creations from Charmaine's gallery.

Jackie Pedro
Jackie joined the Verve Divas in January 2009. Her fabulously finished style caught my eye back in early 2008. As a faithful customer and participant in Mojo Monday and other Verve challenges, I just fell in love with her designs.. She guest designed for Verve in June 2008 and when a spot opened up on the team, I knew I just had to ask her to join us. Her cards are always perfectly embellished, with crisp, clean layers and look professionally finished and flawless. Always upbeat, and excited about stamping, Jackie is a joy to have on the team.

Jen del Muro
Jen del Muro's Photo Jen joined the Verve Divas in August 2007. I was so surprised to get an email from THE genie1314 shortly after Verve launched asking if there were any openings on our design team. Did I know her? Of course I KNEW her! Jen is such a fabulously talented designer. She has a true gift with turning paper and "things" into true works of art. She's one of the most hard-working, organized people I know, but still able to keep in touch with her artsy side! She has a fantastic range of talents, from her unique and fun layouts, to clean, simple and classy cards - and don't forget her amazing work with gifty stuff and 3-D projects. This girl does it all with style! Below are a few of my favorites from Jen's gallery.

Jen Tapler
Jen joined the Verve Divas in January 2009. Jen's fabulous style and fun personality grabbed my attention from her very first Mojo Monday entry. A long time scrapbooker, Jen had just recently started stamping, and her designs were delightfully fresh and innovative. As a loyal customer and challenge particpant, I just fell in love with her blog, her writing, and most importantly her stamping! She is constantly making me ask myself, "Why didn't I think of that?" A true joy to work with, her fresh approach to cardmaking and gifts is so inspiring, and her genuine excitement about Verve is so infectious. She guest designed for us in November 2008 and I just couldn't let her go. Below are a few of my favorite creations from Jen's gallery. Jen Tapler's Photo

Laurie Schmidlin

Laurie's Photo Laurie joined the Verve Divas in October 2007. I received the sweetest email from Laurie saying she'd just visited the Verve website and fell in love with the stamps. I followed the link to her blog and was BLOWN AWAY! Where had I been??? I immediately asked her to be a guest designer and her projects were so stunning, I asked her to stay. I still swoon a little every time I see one of her creations! Every creation is unique, breathtaking, and you can almost see the love that goes into it popping off the screen. And not only is she uber talented, but her character, faith and integrity shine through in her artwork. It's such a pleasure to know this wonderful woman! Below are a few of my favorites from Laurie's gallery.

Lynda Benden
Lynda joined the Verve Divas in April 2009, but she started wowing us many months ago with her Verve creations. Her absolutely stunning cards with Grateful Elegance drew me in time after time. And then working personally with her on a challenge blog team, I started looking forward to checking out her blog every week to see what breathtaking beauty and hilarious adventure she'd be wrting about. Lynda's classy, elegant style is just beautiful and I laugh out loud almost every time I hear from her, she's a total smile maker! Lynda was a Guest Diva in January 2009 and it was only a matter of time before we brought her back to stay! Below are a few of my favorite creations from Lynda's gallery. Lynda's Photo

Shannan Teubner
Michelle's Photo Michelle joined the Verve Divas in August 2008. I had remembered watching her SCS gallery when she first joined SCS and loving her cards. So when she started playing the Mojo and Verve challenges, I knew I had to snag her for a guest spot. She was slated to be a guest for our August 2008 release and her projects were over-the-top gorgeous. We had an unexpected opening on the team just prior to release, and Michelle stepped in like a pro, never missing a beat. She is such a joy to work with, and each of her creations are exquisitely crafted and embellished. Below are a few of my favorite creations from Michelle's gallery.

Susan's Photo Susan joined the Verve Divas in April 2008. Shannan sent me a link to her gallery on SCS and I just fell in love with Susan's unique style. She was a Guest Diva in November 2007, and just one project in I was hooked. Her projects always have personality, fabulous colors, amazing attention to detail and a little element of surprise. Susan thinks "out of the box" in such a refreshing way and is always making me see stamp sets in a whole new light! Both her flawless creations and her hilarious personality bring such joy to the team. Below are a few of my favorite creations from Susan's gallery.
