Welcome to my ABC’s of Stampin’ series. I appreciate You stopping by and love it when you leave comments. I have had so much fun doing this series and just blogging in general. If you asked me a few months ago if I would ever be doing this I would have said, “No way!” I consider myself “technology challenged” (and so does my daughter and a few others! LOL) but here I am! Anything is possible!
I want to share with you a little of my stamping journey. I started stamping just 3 1/2 years ago when I attended a class with a friend. I was hooked after my first card! I have always enjoyed crafting, scrapbooking, and making homemade gifts and my first thought was, “Where has this been my whole life?” LOL I had seen all the stamp supplies at the craft stores but always found it a bit overwhelming (and underwhelming at the same time). What I love about Stampin’ Up! is not only the quality, but how it all coordinates so I don’t have to worry about finding the right color or shade of paper, ink, ribbon…it’s already done for me. The stamps sets coordinate with the punches and framelits so I know they are going to be the right size. I can spend my time creating which I not only enjoy, but find very relaxing… it’s a wonderful way to unwind. To me, it’s a Win! Win! I get to spend time creating and have something to give to someone else which will bring a smile to their face.
I will be the first to admit, I joined Stampin’ Up! to get the discount. I was buying a lot and my friend encouraged me to sign up to save money. It just made sense. I had no intention of doing anything else other than buy what I want. Along the way, people I would send my cards to would ask about them and some wanted me to show them how I did it. So…one thing lead to another and that’s how I began to share what I love with others through classes and kits. I want you to know you can do this too! Another thing that’s nice about Stampin’ Up! is they welcome hobby demonstrators or business minded individuals…there’s never any pressure to hold classes or workshops, you can do as little or as much as you want. I have enjoyed my journey and would love to have YOU come along for the ride. Some of my best customers are now demonstrators and enjoy getting the discount. If you would like to chat and learn more about Stampin’ Up! I would love to hear from you. I welcome hobbiests and those that want to build a business. I belong to an awesome team, called the PALS(under the leadership of Mary Fish), and we have team meetings via the internet (and there’s always prizes involved 🙂 ) as well as private facebook groups for sharing, chatting, etc. I would love to welcome you to join my team. Email me (and we can set up a time to chat) if you want to explore the possibilities! j.stark@myactv.net

YOU are amazing….YOU are so talented…YOU never cease to amaze me! Great post and a huge woot-woot to your Blog – this ABC idea is so darn tootin’ clever!
YOU are great at teaching us new things and your creative talent shows. I love the PALs team and gain inspiration from all of you each week. I know what you mean about crafting being relaxing. Some days I can go to my craft room and simple feel the papers while thinking of ideas, even if I don’t have time to make a card and a calm feeling comes over me. It is great. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us, Jeanie.
