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.

I began scrapbooking in 1998 when I was introduced to it by a friend.  Having been a "wanna-be" artist for some time, I really enjoyed expressing my creativity through scrapbooking. Later, in the summer of 2002 I went to my first Stampin’ Up! party.  Since I was already a scrapbooker, cardmaking and stamping was an easy addiction for me to fall into!  After I had my first child later that year I began to consider the benefits of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and decided to join in February of 2003.  It’s been a fabulous 6 years, and I love to look back at my old projects to see how much I’ve learned and improved in this hobby. 

Being a demonstrator has forced me to frequently make time for my creative side.  For me, helping someone create that perfect project for a special occasion is the a fantastic feeling. 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 am so impressed with the Spring-Summer Idea Book and Catalog.  So many new accessories and designer papers...I'm like a kid in a candy store!
