About Texana Designs

Texana Designs began when native born Texans Jimmye Sue Mitchell and daughter Maggie, who have been scrapbooking, rubberstamping, and cardmaking together for several years, wanted to make Texas-themed gifts to sell, but couldn’t find suitable graphic designs and rubber stamps in the market place. Fortunately, local artist Jon Claeton, with his own love of all things Texas, has custom designed graphics for Texana Designs Texas rubber stamps with a unique Texas-influenced flair.

Jon Claeton is a 5th generation Texan raised in the rich landscape of Kyle, Texas. Jon has translated his art into many 3-D mediums through custom suits of armor and sculpture. His art has been commissioned by the State of Texas, appearing on state vehicles and in the State History Museum.

In November of 2008, Joyce Meyer of JAM'N Stamps joined the Texana Designs team! JAM'N Stamps was in business from 2000-2005. In 2006, Joyce wanted to devote more time to her art and spend more time with her family. For those of you who know Joyce, I'm thankful to report that her eyes are improving!! Joyce has her BFA in Art and MA in Art Education. She taught art in the Texas Public Schools for 21 years. She has been an artist all her life and love drawing, painting, photography and LOVES TEXAS.

In February 2010, our newest artist, Darlene Dorsey Byrd (Granny Heifer Designs) joined the Texana Designs team. Darlene said "I am a fluffy Granny that has been blessed to have a God given talent in the form of art being drawing or sketching. From a very early age, I have enjoyed drawing and sketching just about any and everything. I scrapbook and make all occasion cards using rubber stamps as well as doing free hand drawings to complete my projects. I love having the opportunity to share this hobby with others and at the same time fill my heart with happiness. For over 18 years, I was a floral designer specializing in one of a kind homecoming mum corsages. I am a hobbyist at heart. Art is such a passion of mine that I am now able to pass it on to my grandkids. I am pleased to share quality time with my grandsons enjoying our doodling, drawing, and sketching projects. My husband, Gary, of 41 years, my son Chris and daughter Amanda, have given me encouragement through the years to put my talent to work and share it with others. The time has arrived along with the opportunity for this to come to be. Please enjoy my work as I share it with you and I hope it brings you as much happiness as it gives me to be able to share it with you."
