My sister calls me the "artsy-craftsy" one in the family.  And it's true....I've always liked trying different things to bring out my creative side.  I've sewed, quilted, tried watercolor painting and have been an avid scrapbooker for years.....but when I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in years in the "craft" aisle of a store and she mentioned that she was a "stamper" and invited me to her Stampin' Up workshops, that was all it took.  I was hooked!

I love being able to make simple and easy cards, boxes, tags, bookmarks, scrapbook embellishments  and more.  Just name something that involves paper and you can stamp it!  I love that what I create is more personal...so that when I send a card to a friend, it's not a "cookie cutter" card from a store, but they know I made it especially for them!

Being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is so rewarding.  But the best part is that I can share my love of stamping with my friends, family and customers....encouraging them to let their creative juices flow by offering new projects and project ideas that are fun to do!   

For me, helping someone create that perfect project for a special occasion is the best feeling in the entire world. After all, creating cards, scrapbook pages, and gift items is about more than just stamps and ink—it’s about sharing a part of yourself with the people you love.
