MY STORY
My name is Connie Douglas, and I live in Wasaga Beach, Ontario. I have two adult children, and am now married to a wonderful man who you may hear about in my blog posts from time to time - MSH - My Sweet Husband!! I started stamping in 2007 and quickly fell in love with the hobby. Early in 2009 my friends started to ask if I owned every Stampin’ Up! product, and while I did not, I realized that stamping and sharing what I loved was very important to me, so in June 2009 I became an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. Since then, my hobby has grown into a business, has been my full time job at times, and just a quiet hobby at others. That is the beauty of this business, it can be as big or small, busy or quiet as you like, and it can change over time with the ebb and flow of our lives.
Teaching stamping, memory keeping and paper crafting is now my full time job and I love it. Sharing what I love with friends old and new brings great joy to my life. For me, helping you create that perfect project for a special occasion is a great feeling. After all, creating cards, scrapbooks, memory pages, and gift items is about more than just stamps, ink and paper – it is about sharing a part of yourself with the people you love.
Happy Stamping,
Connie
Today I decided to play with the Metallic Enamel Effects along with the Yuletide Village stamp set
The Yuletide Village stamp set is so beautiful, and it gets even better as you play with it.
Holiday Icons are everywhere this time of year, so today I'm sharing an icon that goes back to where it all started. The star over Bethlehem, and the celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus.
Today I am sharing cards using the Iconic Celebrations patterned paper and the Peaceful Season bundle.
All Inclusive Kits are an awesome way to get everything you need to create beautifully crafted projects, with everything you need all in one box.
At Connie’s Craft Along I shared the last three cards using the Regal Flora Bundle and the gorgeous Regal Winter Designer Series Paper.
Here is a great layout for us this week to show off our pretty patterned paper, and some rich autumn colours!
There are so many wonderful colours in our Stampin’ Up! palette, and you can combine them in all sorts of ways to highlight different colours and patterns.
Today I kicked off a new Facebook Live feature I will do each Monday morning at 10:00 am ET.
There are so many lovely patterns in gorgeous colour combinations, our Designer Series Paper is ideal for creating any project, giving you a head start on beautiful!
I decided to change things up a bit for August Mystery Stamping, and it was so much fun!
Here’s an easy fun fold.
