A Passion for Stamps

Welcome to my little stamping corner of the world...

I became an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in 1996 because I discovered my passion for endless ways to create amazing, incredible art with rubber stamps!  Now I teach what I've learned--at workshops, classes and other stamping and scrapbooking events-at your house, and my home Stamp Studio, as well as here-on line!  It's such a "fun" job, that I truly feel blessed to be able to do what I love-for a living! This adapted Statement of the Heart from Stampin' Up! says it best:   

TO LOVE WHAT I DO

and share what I love,

as I help others enjoy creatvity

and worthwhile accomplishments... 

in this I make a difference!

Be sure to sign up for my Customer Newsletter (see Join My Customer List  link on left) to be updated with creative ideas & techniques, and learn about specials, classes and events I offer each month!

HAPPY STAMPING... with Debbie Van Gieson,  a/k/a...

Learn how to make a Photo Mosaic 12x12 Scrapbook Page at June class!

Time to get back to rubber stamping and scrapbooking! 

I recently got together with some Stampin' Up! demonstrators and we all made some beautiful 12x12 Photo Mosaic scrapbook pages.  I really love the way these look and they are fun to make too!  I guess I'm hooked!  Here's mine:

 

These are photos taken when our kids were little (how much fun it is to do this and to remember these good times we had we had with our family and friends in Manasquan NJ!) 

I will be teaching a scrapbooking class on Photo Mosaic Scrapbooking in June!  Date to be determined...so be sure to come back and check out my class schedule (on right) soon!
