ABOUT ME

Being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is so rewarding. Not only do I get to be creative every day, I also get to be a creative coach, offering fresh project ideas and encouragement to my customers and friends. For me, helping someone put together 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.

I have been scrapbooking and playing with paper for over 25 years.   I started creating cards, 3d items, scrapbook pages.  I would attend fairs around my state of Massachusetts.  It was a lot of fun meeting others who were creative.  I would hold classes in my home a few times a month using Stampin' Up! products.  I found Stampin' Up! approximately 15 years ago.  I loved the color combos and how products would match.  It was so easy to be creative.  The company really does speak from the heart.  They love their demonstrators and show it.  

I then wanted to branch out to scrapbooking and I found Close to My Heart.   Stampin' Up! didn't carry a line for scrapbookers so I transitioned over to CTMH a few years ago.  They would package workshop kits with coordinating papers, stickers, embellishments to create beautifully themed scrapbook pages.  As of June of 2024, Close to My Heart will be closing.  The team at CTMH reviewed options of different companies in the hopes of finding us Makers at CTMH a new home.  Stampin' Up! welcomed us to their family of crafters in 2024.

I am now back with Stampin' Up!, I guess full circle.  Except this time Stampin' Up! will be starting a scrapbooking line.  I cannot wait to dive in.  I have the best of both worlds and so will you.

I take the time to complete these projects with the detail and care that you would expect in your projects .  I hope you enjoy my artwork as you look through my website and what I can offer you.  My goal is to design these projects so you don't have to.  It's as simple as following my guides and enjoy creating.
