Up until the fall of 2001, the only time I had rubber stamped was when I stamped images at the top of my 4th/5th grade students’ papers! Then I was invited to a stamp camp at a friend’s church. What a fun time that was, making cards and gift items. I was hooked!

I started attending classes and purchasing all sorts of stamping products. I loved not only being able to complete a craft project in a short amount of time, but I also liked that I could send an item I made to a friend or loved one and bless them with a homemade project or card, something from my heart.

It didn’t take long for me to discover that I really loved Stampin’ Up! products. The cardstock was a much higher quality than what I could get at a store and I especially loved that the colors all coordinated and that products of a certain color all matched! 

I started having friends over to make cards and in early 2005 decided it was time to become a demonstrator. I really enjoy the opportunity to teach again (I’ve been a stay-at-home mom since 1999) and find it so fun to share my enthusiasm about projects with my customers. One of my favorite things is when someone gets so excited during a class and says, "Oh! I just can’t WAIT to give this to so-and-so!"
