I believe this hobby is about sharing ideas, and if copying my work directly helps you to develop your own inspiration, go for it, and make sure you tell folks where you got it from when they ask about it!
And yes, if you are a demonstrator, you may use my art as inspiration for your classes - again, just quote me as the source, and then copy away! You may even use my designs for swaps, again - you guessed it - quote me for the copy! :)
However, all content in this blog is copyrighted, and you may not submit my work for contests or publication and/or reprint my articles without permission.
May we all learn more from each other, and keep this hobby going by inspiring each other!!

My 'mission' statement:
'To be the catalyst that sparks creativity, leadership, friendship, fun and success in people who might not otherwise experience it.'
I am a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, and a vocal coach throughout Western Canada. I became a ‘demo’ for some of the same reasons that I am a vocal coach – I believe that women have a creative need which needs to be expressed, and in today’s world there are less and less opportunities for us to connect with our friends. It seems like life is moving so fast for us that we just can’t seem to find a reason or excuse to get together with those we care about anymore. Sharing a love of paper crafts, especially through clubs and workshops, is a wonderful, fun way women can get together and connect while filling that creative need. I love facilitating that!
I am a mom to two wonderful boys (and a wife to a wonderful man!), and when I started demonstrating, I was looking for a career where I could stay home with my boys, but also make money for our household. Not only did I find that career in being a demonstrator for Stampin’ Up!, but I have reaped the rewards of owning my own business many times over, from friendships with my customers and my wonderful team of demonstrators, to traveling for conventions, winning awards and free vacations for me and my family, and of course, the amazing paper craft education! Most importantly, this career has given me the freedom to explore my love for my craft, while giving me the opportunity to spend more time with my family. I am truly blessed.
I would love to share this experience with you as well! From clubs and crops to classes and workshops, I would love to get to know you – make sure you sign up to receive my monthly e-newsletter before you go!
If what I do sounds appealing to you, there is a space with your name on my team, the Sea to Sky Stampers. Maybe you just want to get your stamping supplies at a great discount, or maybe you want to earn a little cash on the side to finance a fun trip or purchase. Or, maybe you are looking for the satisfaction of building a company of your own, where you make your own hours and enjoy the flexibility of a home based business doing what you love. Whatever your reason, I would love to have you on my team - come on board!
