Join me for classes, ideas, and all sorts of sharing! I’m a nurse by day, but at night, I love to create!
I am an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator for Stampin’ Up!, a premiere percrafting company that has more than 30 years experience providing quality rubber stamping and scrapbooking paper products, inks, stamps and tools! I love Stampin’ Up! and will be sharing ideas that you can duplicate in your own papercrafting space.
On April 30th, 2023, I will be celebrating 15 years with Stampin’ Up! I teach papercrafting classes in my home in Lynnfield Massachusetts, and I try to do weekly facebook lives (uploaded to YouTube!) that feature different products that Stampin’ Up! carries. These FB lives are meant to inspire and teach. I love what I do and I love to share my inspiration with you! I can also help with scrapbooking or gift packaging idea

Layered Labels!!
Good Morning All! I'd love to say that I have some pictures of my open house this past week, but I think I was too preoccupied, flitting from guest to guest, to take any photos this year! It's so wonderful to get together with my wonderful friends, many who can't make...

Lunchtime Sketch Challenge … on Thursday this week!
