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, family and friends.

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.

 

My journey with stamping, cardmaking & scrapbooking started in October 1996.  I was looking for a green and red ink pad and a small holly stamp to liven up some holiday cards I was sending!  I wandered into my local stamp store, Lady & the Stamp and met two of the most awesome people - Linda and Karen!  They were very helpful and I signed up for a staionery box class to make my Grandma a set of notecards for Christmas.  Then in March, 1997 my sister-in-law, Shelly, introduced me to Stampin Up.  From the moment I saw the catalog and attended my first party I was hooked and as they say, the rest is history...  

I am now hopelessly addicted and passionate about stamping!  Over the ensuing years I’ve introduced many others to the wonders of Stampin Up through parties I hosted and now I am demonstrator!  I'd love the opportunity to share what I love with you and your friends and family!

I reside in Chesterton, Indiana where I was born & raised.  I've been married to my best friend, Jim, for several years; and we share a love for history, gardening in our yard and dogs.  We have three wonderful dogs - Sabre 12 YO, Ziva 3 YO and JoDee 1.5 YO; and a cat named Shaquille who is 17 YO!  My day job is as a Sourcing Manager Environmental Services with a global steel producer.
