August 2006 Featured Artist is Sandi Koster

My passion for stamping started shortly after retiring to Florida and finding Claire's store; which is my favorite place to satisfy this wonderful addiction.  I've enjoyed six years of learning an art that is never-ending-- there is always something new to discover and spark your creativity.  Happiness is hearing how much your handmade greeting card has given joy and brought  a smile to the face of a loved one.  From stamping, iris folding, tea bag folding, paper embroidery, making pins and all the many aspects of this wonderful world of art I couldn't say which is my favorite -- I love them all.  My newest challenge is to learn stamping and embossing on metal.  At this point I guess you could say, "to be continued."          - Sandi Koster
