Hello! My name is Gretchen. Thank you for allowing me to share my story story with you. I've been an avid stamper and scrapbooker for years but the passion for this art form really took off for me a few years ago when a friend showed me a Stampin' Up! Catalog. I hadn't seen anything from this company for years and I was blown away by the images, colors and products that I saw on the pages in front of me. I soon made the decision to become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator myself and the rest is history. In the short time I've been with this company, I've met hundreds of friends, across the country and even the world, who share my passion for stamping, scrapbook and crafting. This is, indeed, one of the things I enjoy most about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator -- sharing this art with others and watching their reaction as they learn to do something new and are given an opportunity to express their creativity in new ways. 

I think there is great power in the ability of a hand-made card or gift to lift one's spirit and bring smiles to faces -- of both the giver and the receiver. I would love to share these opportunities with you -- in a workshop setting, at a class or club meeting, or as a member of my growing Inspiration in Action Team of demonstrators. Please let me know how I can help you fall in love with the Wonderful World of Stampin' Up! 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 invite you to visit my blog, Inspiration in Action, for daily updates and an endless resource of ideas and projects!

And I hope to meet you soon!

Blessings, Gretchen
