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.

As a retired school teacher, I love teaching new stamping techniques and sharing wonderful new project ideas with my stamping friends.  Paper crafting is one of my passions, and my monthly paper crafting class uses the gorgeous Stampin' Up! papers and materials to make beautiful projects.  Bookbinding and handmade albums, stationery sets, calendars,  gift bags and boxes, and other "giftable" items are some of the favorite projects.

The best part of being a demonstrator, however is the wonderful friendships I have made. Over the last eight years my customers have become some of my best friends, as well as friends with each other.  A stamp camp or a class is more than a stamp camp and a class.  It is an opportunity to visit, laugh, and enjoy the company of friends who share your passion.
