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.

For me, helping someone create that perfect project for a special occasion is the best feeling in the entire world. 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.  

Personally, I find stamping and creating to be very relaxing and therapeutic!  I have long since valued the benefits received from getting "lost" in a card designing session, or poring over just the right sentiment and stamp for a mini memory book.  

Over the years, I have tried many, many different "crafts"--friendly plastic jewelry, painted T-shirts, tole painting, fabric albums, floral wall hangings--but this hobby has won the "Longevity" Award from me!  Creating projects with stamping is highly achievable, but certainly vast--and that's why I think I remain so interested in it.  I never get bored, because there are 101 ways to use a stamped image, colours, embellishments, etc. to create new looks and projects. 

I hope that some of my ideas will be helpful to you in your creative journey!
