These are my "children," Busca and Joia. When I first started stamping, I didn't have either one of my girls. I learned about stamping from a friend. She only knew how to emboss in gold. I thought: there must be more to this stamping thing! So, I searched our local store and learned a lot from them. In 2001, I became a demonstrator. 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 a wonderful 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.
