In 2000, I combined my love of papercrafting with my passion for teaching and became a Close To My Heart maker. It's been an amazing journey, and I'm so excited to continue papercrafting as a new Stampin’ Up! demonstrator with over 24 years of experience! Papercrafting 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 put together 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.
