Stamp of the Month Club

Family Legacy March SOTM

The 'Stamp of the Month' is a new (monthly-exclusive) Stamp set (that you can get for as little as $5 - that's a $13.95 savings off the original price) AND it also brings a new (exclusive from me) Stamp of the Month Pre-cut Kit. The FREE Pre-cut kit you will receive directly from me will include all of the pre-cut pieces, Cricut images, embellishments, as well as card bases and envelopes! 

March Workshops & Classes

I have jam packed my schedule with classes, workshops, videos and Facebook Lives! I've decided to extend workshops to my online peeps. These workshops will be available online with a PayPal button to purchase your kit! I'm really excited to start offering these to everyone! So, watch out for these announcements here on my blog and Facebook.  Don't forget to sign up to receive notifications via email!

About Me

Hello! I have been a life long crafter, creator, designer and all around artsy-fartsy kind of person! I began my love of art as a child drawing everything but mostly the horses on my grandparents farm. After that, I dabbled in college with Graphic Design and Fine Arts. Through my adult life I have loved all things creative! I get a great amount of excitement teaching others how to stamp, make cards and scrapbook memories. I look forward to getting to know you better!

Hugs & Happy Crafting!
