Welcome, friend! I’m so glad you’re here. Crafting has been a big part of my life for many years, and it’s more than just paper and ink for me—it’s about joy, connection, and sharing a little love with others. My journey with Stampin’ Up! has been filled with laughter, friendships, and plenty of handmade memories, and I’d love to share a bit of that story with you.
How It All Begain
It all started when a friend invited me over one Friday night to make cards. There were a few of us around the table, creating, laughing, and just enjoying the evening. I went home that night completely hooked! I could already picture my own home filled with friends gathered around the table, making something beautiful together. That’s when I decided to join Stampin’ Up!
Why I Chose Stampin’ Up!
Before taking the leap, I did my homework. I was so impressed to learn that Stampin’ Up! has been in business for over 35 years and continues to receive top ratings for excellence. More than that, I found a company that truly supports its demonstrators with resources, training, and encouragement every step of the way.
Falling in Love with the Products
Of course, what keeps me here year after year is simple—I love the products. The stamps are high quality, giving crisp and clear images every time. The papers, inks, and embellishments are all color-coordinated, making it easy to create projects that look polished without stress.
Scrapbooking Memories Since 1994
I’ve been a scrapbooker since 1994, and preserving memories is one of my greatest joys. That’s why I’m especially excited about the Scrapbook Workshop Kits from Stampin’ Up! They make it simple to document life’s special moments while still leaving plenty of room for creativity. These kits are a wonderful option for both beginners and seasoned scrapbookers alike.
Paper Pumpkin Joy
Another favorite of mine is Paper Pumpkin. Each month’s kit comes with everything you need—an exclusive stamp set, an ink spot, and all the supplies to finish the projects. Whether you’re brand new to crafting or short on time, Paper Pumpkin makes it simple to sit down and create.
My Journey as a Demonstrator
I’ve been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator for 8 years and have been blessed to earn several incentive trips and bonuses along the way. These opportunities are not guaranteed and depend on individual sales and activity, but for me they’ve been wonderful encouragements and reminders of how much joy this creative journey brings.

More Than Paper and Ink
For me, crafting is more than just paper and ink—it’s a way to connect, to encourage, and to share love. I believe God has given each of us gifts, and one of mine is using creativity to lift others up. Whether it’s a handmade card for a friend or a scrapbook page to capture a memory, these little works of art have the power to brighten someone’s day.

I’m so grateful to be able to share my love of crafting here on my blog and in my classes. Thank you for taking the time to read my story—I hope it inspires you to create something beautiful today.
