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

Loving the Lovely Lattice!
I have to admit that I wasn't a big fan of this stamp set at first. It's a Sale-a-bration stamp set, and I had it right from the beginning, but this is my first card actually using the stamp set!I think I had put off using the stamp set because I felt I had to...
So Hoppy Pop-up Card
I had so much fun making this adorable pop-up card using the SAB set, So Hoppy Together. Did you know that starting today, March 1st, you can get framelits that match many of the Sale-a-bration sets? It's true! To be honest, I'd been getting tired of...
