Exciting Projects and Events to Inspire Your Creativity

Welcome to my website. I hope you take time to explore my entire library of projects that I have had so much fun putting together. It keeps growing as I continue to add many fresh new cards created by new techniques. Each card ends up being a piece of art.

I offer events and classes both virtually and in my workshop as the public health situation permits. Being a creative coach is the most rewarding part of being a Stampin’ Up demonstator. Please see my event calendar for a full listing,

The best way to be “in the know” is to subscribe to my newsletter. You will receive wonderful project ideas and news on upcoming classes.
