Fran is another "certified stampaholic"!!  She thinks it all started when as a small child she would spend hours laying on the floor coloring. As the years passed she tried her hand at decoupage, sewing, decorating, oil painting, counted cross-stitch, jewelry making, etc.  She was always the one who volunteered to do table decorations and invitations for different events. Then came some scrap booking for her sorority where she was briefly introduced to rubber stamping and embossing (in the days before embossing guns).

A few more years passed when in the summer of 1997 Fran happened upon a tiny little store selling rubber stamps.  She took some classes and instantly got hooked.  Actually, you could say she became and still is obsessive about stamping, owning over 3200 stamps (actually she has had more than that, but every-now-and-then has to sell a few to make room for more!).

Fran loves learning new techniques, reading about other artists and participating in 3 stamp clubs. Her time is mostly spent making cards/decorative mini-books for friends and family; invitations for sorority as well as personal parties; round robins; and occasionally making and selling commissioned items for friends.
