 Scrap
Artz Instructor: Susan Jester.There has never been a time in my life that I didn't have several art projects going at once. Although I am an avid knitter and fiber artist, my first love is paper arts: bookbinding, visual journaling, stamping, scrapping, collaging. I worked as a Craft Coordinator for Ben Franklin Crafts & Frames for four years-teaching classes, appearing on their TV show and creating samples for the stores. I left Ben Franklin to become Mommy to our twins, and we live in Montpelier with my husband Jason (who sighs occasionally but in general encourages me in my creative pursuits), my Mom (who gave me my first colored pencils and knitting needles) and our four dogs and three cats (who like to make stuff, too). I am thrilled to be teaching at Scrap Artz |
 Hello!
My name is Dee Tunstall. I have been scrapping for about three years,
and I love it! It is the one thing that truly relaxes me.
The feeling I get when paper, pictures and embellishments all come
together is like no other! I am looking forward to being a member
of the Scrap Artz design team and the creative challenges it will
present.
I live in Mechanicsville, VA with my husband, Greg, our daughter,
Madison (8) (who are both always interested in seeing the new
layouts I have created) and our dog, Timmy – the most adorable
Shih-Tzu companion ever! I am an Executive Assistant in the Law
Department at Dominion Resources Services, and I enjoy reading,
music, decorating, baseball (Go Yankees!) and am obsessive about
organizing (and re-organizing) my scrapbook supplies. |
 Susie Weaver – Sales Associate “I don’t remember a time, even as a child, when I didn’t have some “project” that involved paper, scissors, glue, pencils, and ‘colors’, as well as other various artsy and crafty things. As a teenager, I created my first ‘scrapbooks.’ Eight years ago, on National Scrapbook Day, I discovered what preserving memories was really all about. I’ve been hooked ever since. When I had the opportunity to work in a scrapbooking store, I remember telling my husband that I had just found my ‘dream job.’ In addition to working in the midst of exciting and beautiful products at Scrap Artz, I have the opportunity to learn from and to assist my customers in their scrapbooking adventures . Now that’s a great gig!” Susie lives in Hanover County, is married, the mother of three grown children, and a grandmother. |

Paint, pens, ink and sketch pads were always by her side as she and
her husband Ernie raised two children, both of whom are now studying
architecture at the University of Virginia.Her children;s departure to college left Robin ready for this new adventure — the creation of Scrap Artz, Hanover County's premier shop for scrapbooking and paper artists of all levels.

Robin's creative specialty includes the areas art of collage, multi-media art and altered art. Classes and programs at the store will reflect these interests. |
