I’m a wife, mother of four grown children, pet mama to two German Shepherds and two cats, an avid paper crafter, and a proud Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.
My stamping journey began in 1997 when I was invited to my very first stamping party. I had no idea what to expect, but it sounded like a fun night out, so I decided to give it a try. The moment I discovered the joy of creating handmade cards, I was hooked!
I soon began sharing my love of stamping with others and showing them how rubber stamps, ink, and paper could be transformed into beautiful cards, scrapbook pages, gifts, home décor, and so much more.
One of the things I love most about paper crafting is that anyone can do it! You don’t have to consider yourself artistic or creative. With a little guidance and encouragement, you might just surprise yourself!
Watching someone create a project they’re proud of—especially when they started out saying, “I’m not creative”—is still one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
Over the years, I expanded from home workshops to teaching classes at local venues, and through Continuing Education programs at area high schools and colleges, which I still enjoy teaching today.
Today, with nearly three decades of stamping experience, I continue to share my passion for paper crafting through classes, events, tutorials, and plenty of creative inspiration.
Whether you’re brand new to paper crafting or have been creating for years, I hope I can inspire you along your creative journey. From card making and scrapbooking to 3D projects, home décor, junk journaling, and everything in between, there is always something new to learn, try, and create.
Most of all, I want crafting to be fun! It’s a chance to relax, learn something new, connect with others, and experience the joy that comes from saying, “I made that!”
So grab some paper, stamps, and ink and come create with me!
And if you ever have a question or need a little creative help, please reach out. I’m always happy to help you along the way.
Happy Stamping!
Jo
