INTRODUCING

FIRECRACKER DESIGNS
BY PAMELA

Pamela Clark has been involved with art since high school.  Her sister, Ursula, introduced Pamela to the world of scrapbook endeavors and card making later on.  Pamela started out creating page kits and paper pieces and selling them on e-Bay. Ursula continued to persuade Pamela into designing rubber stamp images.  She began this venture designing for another company before branching out on her own.  FireCracker Designs by Pamela evolved and has refined and broadened its images since the early stages.  The majority of her stamps come in sets and were designed to be used in combination with any other stamp sets in her product line.  This allows for infinite creativity.

Pam is an avid stamp artist, too, and can be found always sharing her awesome works on our RubberRoad Yahoo Group.  Click on the banner and make a Pitstop to visit with Pamela today!  Although she moved from Ohio to North Carolina in 2007, you have easy access to Pamela right here in our galaxies!
