The Designers!
Jacque Craig • I’ve been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator for ten years. I signed up just to get the discount and support my stamping and scrapbooking habit. But when one of my friends asked me to do a workshop, I thought I’d give it a try. I did the workshop for her, and then one for one of her friends, and then another, and my business just kept growing! In my ten years as a demonstrator, I’ve earned five cruises, two Founder’s Circle trips, and more wonderful friends than I can count! www.stampinwithjacque.com
Sonya Oshiro• I have been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator since January 2006 and love it because I get to create, share, and inspire through my work. I have a daughter and do crafting as a part-time job. Being a demonstrator is very rewarding because I get to meet lots of new people and find everlasting friendships. www.stampwithsonya.com
Naoko Page • I signed up to be a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in 2002 after attending my very first workshop. I had so much fun that day. I just couldn’t believe all the things you could do with rubber stamps! I signed up for the discount at first but friends wanted to book workshops and it became a snowball effect. I became a full time demonstrator because I really enjoy teaching new techniques and demonstrating the fabulous products we have to offer. The best part is the friends that I have met through Stampin’ Up! I have been married to my wonderful husband for 16 years and we have two awesome kids. My son is 12 and my daughter is 9. They will all be joining me (along with my mom, mom-in-law & dad-in-law) for a 7-night Southern Caribbean cruise thanks to Stampin’ Up! www.nstampage.com

Debbie Naylor • My name is Debbie Naylor and I live in Lynchburg, Virginia and have been a demonstrator with Stampin’ Up! since February 2005. I am a two-time Founder’s Circle achiever/Top 100 Demonstrator of the year for the last two years. I have a team of demonstrators who are a lot of fun and we enjoy getting together monthly to swap and share ideas. I love scrapbooking – that is what first led me to Stampin’ Up! as a customer 6 years ago. Creating hand-made gifts, scrapbooks, and cards is my passion and I’m so lucky to be able to do and share what I love beacause my stamping business is my full-time job. I have been married to my wonderful and supportive husband Joe for 18 years and have 3 kids – Amanda (12), Kelsey (11), and Brandon (8), and 2 dogs – a Beagle named Beau and a Golden Retriever named Mika. www.unfroggettablestamping.typepad.com

Lynn Pratt • I have been a Stampin’ Up demonstrator for almost five years. I am a stay at home mother to two wonderful kids, Ashley who will turn 5 this month and Timothy who just turned 3. They are both very active happy kids and are a lot of fun and love to craft with me! I have been married for 7 years to my wonderful husband Brad and we live in a gorgeous valley in Vermont. I am also an architect and I have my own practice that I run from home so I can stay with the kids. www.stampndesign.blogspot.com
Guest Designer!
Heather Van Duker • Heather’s repertoire of skills includes competitive blog-writing, full-contact UNO, running with (and without) paper snips, "the crazy gorilla" move, analyzing handwriting, and making the famous raspberry bombe dessert. Her works on the ins-and-outs of HGTV are Nobel prize-worthy and her couch suffers the tragic fate of being moved far too often. Heather relishes her uncanny ability to dominate her (highly elite) stamping clubs with fantastic creations that boggle the mind and glue runners alike. Her turn-ons include (but are not limed to): stamping, a clean bathroom, couponing, the UPS guy (WITH a box of Stampin’ Up!), and beach-bumming in that cute red bikini. Turn-offs include: long lines, being denied bountiful Stampin’ Rewards points, and what has been phrased "Family Party Freak-Outs". www.stamptasticcreations.blogspot.com

Rosemarie Diehl • Hi! My name is Rosemarie and I’ve been stamping since 2000. I basically became a demonstrator right after I hosted my first workshop – I was hooked! I’m happy to say that I just celebrated my 10 year anniversary with Stampin’ Up! I always thought I would be a hobby demonstrator, as I work full time. By day, I’m a marketing manager at an internet compnay, and by night (or any free time I can spare!), I’m an avid crafting enthusiast. My crafting style has evolved over the years. While my cards are still pretty simple and clean, I’ve now become quite enamored with embellishments, especially buttons and ribbon! I also must admit that I’ve become quite a Big Shot addict – whether it be the embossing folders or the dies, I can’t seem to get enough and I love to incorporate them in my projects. When I’m not stamping or working, I enjoy hanging out with my hubs and my kitty cat, Oliver. I also love to run, travel, and shop! I am so excited to be part of Craft Project Central and look forward to creating and sharing projects with you! www.rosemariediehl.blogspot.com

You can see Erika’s work on her blog, Stampin’ Mama, at http://stampinmama.typepad.com.

Kim Score • I am married with one 4 year old daughter and live in northern Wisconsin. I work full time as an accountant and craft in my free time. I have been crafting most of my life, starting way back when I was 8 years old and made my own Barbie clothes. My favorite gifts growing up were crafting kits like sewing plastic canvas ornaments and latch hook rugs. My first love of crafting was with cloth and thread. For years, I made dolls and teddy bears and sold my wares at craft fairs in northern Wisconsin. Shortly after getting married, I discovered my true calling. I was at a craft fair selling my dolls when I met a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in a booth next to me. I was so impressed by what a person could do with paper and stamps. I signed up to be a demonstrator, having never stamped a card in my life. For 10 years I was an active demonstrator. When being a demonstrator became more work than fun, I decided to move onto other things in paper crafting. I discovered my love for scrapbooking after my daughter was born. I happened upon a few paper-piercing websites and immediately fell in love with the art. I was so impressed by how a piecing dressed up scrapbook pages and cards. The only thing I didn’t like about piecing was hand cutting, so I decided to try punching all of my pieces out instead and my own brand of punch art was born. I started my own blog called Paper Punch Addiction in September 2009 and have been happily punching ever since! www.paperpunchaddiction.com

Kris Kilkenny • I have been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator since May 2009 in Edmond, Oklahoma. I started scrapbooking in 1976 with my great-grandmother. Back then we used paste with a plastic stick for adhesive. Thankfully, I was introduced to Stampin’ Up! eleven years ago when a friend invited me to come over and stamp while our kids played. I was hooked and immediately purchased some glue sticks, the watercolor pencils, and blender pens. My supportive husband and I have been married for 12 years and we are proud parents to two busy boys ages 16 and 7. We have three spoiled fur babies; a Dachshund, a Wire Haired Fox Terrier and our newest addition, a baby Morkie (Maltese/Yorkshire Terrier). www.paperfairykris.blogspot.com

I have been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator since March 2008 and have been playing with paper and crafts of all sorts, since I was a small child. I inked up my first stamp in 2001 and have been hooked ever since. I attended my first Stampin’ Up! workshop a few years later and almost immediately signed up to be a demonstrator. There is something so special about creating a handmade and heartfelt card or gift to share with friends and family. It is very exciting to share my enthusiasm for stamping with others through Stampin’ Up! I live in the great state of Texas with my husband and our four fur-kids. Along with stamping and scrapbooking, my other hobbies include cooking, traveling and a growing interest in photography. www.stampinanne.blogspot.com

Deanna Tam • The first time I heard of stamping I thought my friends were making postage stamps. I asked them why on earth would anyone want to make postage stamps? They just laughed at me. So they invited me to a stamping class and there I immediately fell in love with "rubber" stamping. I’ve been stamping for 16 years now. Still love it to this day. I became a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in 2005 shortly after I attended my first workshop. www.destampincorner.blogspot.com

Sharon Burkert •Hi all! My name is Sharon Burkert and I am excited to be a guest designer. I have always been a crafter and have hopped from one craft to another until I became a rubber stamper. I love paper crafting and it has happily kept my interest for 11 years! I think it has been the learning and teaching of new ideas as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator that has kept this craft fresh and interesting for me. As my husband always says to me "you made that with rubber stamps?". I am currently living in Auburn, WA (a suburb of Seattle WA) after living in Spokane, WA for 10 years. I still consider myself an "island" girl since I was born and raised in Honolulu, HI. www.sharonburkert.com

I live in the beautiful state of Oregon with my husband of 71/2 years, 5 year old daughter, and 31/2 year old son. I taught 3rd, 4th, and mostly 5th grade for 6 years before choosing to stay home with my children. I joined the Stampin’ Up! family in March 2009 after being asked by a friend of a friend who I was co-hosting a baby shower with. Ever since then, I have enjoyed every minute! I love sharing my passion and being inspired by others who have the gift of creativity…and there are so many creative talents out there! I am a stay-at-home mom, so having this creative outlet gives me the opportunity to keep my creative juices alive and the chance to be a social butterfly!

I have been doing something crafty for as long as I can remember…from paint-by-numbers and "beflowered" mudpies and cakes as a little girl, to cross-stitching, sewing, cake decorating, jewelry making…and my biggest passion – paper crafting. I am currently a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and love the creative process and the satisfaction it brings me (even if it occasionally happens at 3:00 a.m.!).

Sherry Wilfong-Palzet • Hello there! I am a self-taught scrapbooking and papercrafting addict. Yes, it is absolutely an addiction. I love being able to create and enjoy teaching others to feel confident in their ability to create as well. I have been scrapbooking for nine years and was a demonstrator for two companies who went belly-up before I found Stampin’ Up! I have been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator for around five years now and I LOVE the products and people. I started scrapbooking when my sister married and I found myself the auntie to two little girls. Now not only am I an auntie to three girls and a boy, but I am also married and have three girls myself. My husband, Mike, and I have been married for almost seven years. We have three beautiful children; Makaela (8 years), RoseMarie (5 years), and Nichole (3 years). I am currently an Independent Insurance Agent with Aflac and yes, I get quacked at quite often. When not working or crafting I enjoy going to The Crossing Church in Las Vegas and just spending time with my family. Thank you for allowing me to share my creativity and passion with you! www.scrapperwithkids.blogspot.com

I love to do a variety of crafts including crochet, jewelry making, cross stitch, stained glass, and fused, glass, but the one I do the most is paper crafting. You can’t beat the instant gratification you get when finishing a card or scrapbook page the same evening that you started it! The time I get to spend in my craft room is my break from reality. I am super excited to be a guest designer for Craft Project Central! www.kraftingkreations.blogspot.com

Chris Galbraith • Several years ago I got bored with stickers for my scrapbook pages. I started stamping and never looked back. In 2007 I finally took the plunge and signed up to be a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. I now have a wonderful group of ladies that come for stamping and scrapbooking classes here in Memphis, TN. My artwork was just published in Stampin’ Success magazine! That was such a huge honor. When I am not stamping I am a third grade teacher. I have a wonderful husband and 2 beautiful daughters who put up with my crazy stamping schedule. www. chrisgalbraithcreations.blogspot.com

Sandra Farrell • I live in Vancouver, BC Canada and am married to a wonderful man and have 2 children. My oldest is starting Kindergarten this year. I work full time as a Grade 2 teacher. My biggest passion is paper. I have always been addicted to paper, stickers, photos, scrapbooks, you name it! Scrapbooking was my focus until I joined Stampin’ Up! over 3 years ago. I fell in love with the catalogue, and never looked back. Winning Artisan Award this year is the biggest achievement of my Stampin’ Career. My other passions are ice hockey and snowboarding, but having 2 preschoolers means that I have to limit these activities right now, but there’s always time to stamp! www.stamperontheshore.blogspot.com

Lynn Weiss • I live in a small town in Mid Michigan with my husband and two sons. I have always been into crafts such as drawing, painting & scrapbooking, but I had never stamped until I hosted a Stampin’ Up! workshop in my home. I enjoyed it so much that I signed up to be a demonstrator the very next day – that was almost 6 years ago! In addition to paper crafting, I also enjoy photography, gardening, and traveling. www.lwdesigns.blogspot.com

Heather Stevens • I signed up as a demonstrator about the same time I started stamping. I really jumped into the business end of things so I could bring in a little income while my husband was in school getting his Masters degree. I found a world of friends who were not just there to stamp with me, but friends who loved the social aspect of what Stampin’ up! offers as much as I do. Although I started to bring in a few extra dollars I found that Stampin’ Up! rewards us very well for the efforts we put into our business. I have been Rising Star, Demonstrator of the Year, and earned three incentive trips. Recently I took a challenge from a friend and entered the Artisan Award Contest and won. I have loved to see how much I have learned and grown from my experiences as a demonstrator and am looking forward to seeing what else I can accomplish. www.inkincuteideas.blogspot.com

Carrie Rhoades • Hi, my name is Carrie. I joined Stampin’ Up! as a demonstrator in 1999, because I fell in love! I was hooked on that feeling of satisfaction I got when I created something. Although I did not consider my self an artist, I could put some ink on a stamp and press it on some card stock! My inner artist began to blossom. When I began my Stampin’ Up! journey I could not speak well in a group and was very nervous doing my first workshops, then I found my self not being able to stop sharing my love of rubber stamping and really enjoying teaching others the joy of creating with stamps. Seven years ago I also found the blessing of being able to work from home while raising our children. My two little girls still talk about our trip to Hawaii that I earned. And, I am still in love with rubber stamping and scrapbooking and feel so blessed with all the opportunities Stampin’ Up! has given me. www.carriestamps.com

Heidi Baks • Hi, I’m Heidi Baks, and I live in upstate NY. In my former life, I have a Ph.D. in physics, but now I’m a SAHM of my Little Missy, which allows me to follow my stamping addict muse. I’ve been a Stampin’ Up demonstrator since 2008, and I love to get together with local ladies for a day of stamping.Other than stamping, I don’t sit still very well. I’m a runner, swimmer, and biker. Recently I’ve been spending my weekends mountain bike racing. I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I’ve been married to my wonderful, supportive, and even more active husband for 8 years. www.runningwscissorsstamper.blogspot.com

Glenda Calkins • I have been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator for 8 years. I signed on because my husband told me I needed to do something to support my habit. I had a cousin who was a demonstrator so I booked a workshop, watched what she did and thought, I can do that! The rest is history. I have earned 2 incentive trips and I’ve attended every convention since I singed on; I love traveling as much as stamping so whenever there is a reason to go, I’m gone. I have been married for 31 years and we have 4 children ages 23, 20, 15, and 12 (3 boys and 1 girl). I have a blog www.thestampcamp.com/blog/, and I post daily; stop on by sometime for some inspiration!

Regina Andari • In 2003, my cousin invited me to a Stampin’ Up! workshop that she was hosting. I had never heard of Stampin’ Up! and basically spent the hour drive dreading the whole afternoon. After seeing the demonstration and getting to create something, I was hooked! In March 2004, I signed up to be a demonstrator and have enjoyed every minute! I am so addicted to crafting with paper! A few years ago, I spent some time submitting projects for publication and was published twice in Stamp It! magazine and once in PaperCrafts magazine, but I spend my time now designing projects for classes, design team opportunities, and my blog. I have had the opportunity to write two tutorials for splitcoaststampers and I am very pleased to do the same for Craft Project Central as a Guest Designer. I live in North Carolina with my husband and 20 year old son (who is in college), and I know they don’t fully understand how I can possibly spend so much time with stamps, paper, and ink. I feel truly blessed that my guys are supportive and encouraging for this paper passion of mine, and I look forward to sharing that passion with Craft Project Central! www.workinouttheinks.blogspot.com

Tanya Bell • I live in Australia in the small regional town of Bundaberg that is mostly known for producing the infamous ‘Bundaberg Rum’. After many years of working as a university academic I finally gave into my crafting passion and became a full time Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in 2010 and have not looked back ever since. I love to create new things and thoroughly enjoy my new ‘teaching’ topic of rubber stamping! (A lot more fun to teach than statistics!). I love a crafting challenge and am excited to be joining the talented gals at Craft Project Central as a guest designer. www.stampingt.com.au
Guest Designer!
Holley Sullivan • Married to my BFF and mom of six…result "yours, mine and ours"…two girls and four boys…a set of twins that are "the babies" that are now 9 years old! Stampin’ Up! demonstrator for four years now, but papercrafting for eight years and still learning new stuff! There’s something wonderful about creating with paper…I love what I do and sharing it with others! I can’t draw a stick figure but give me a stamp and I’m suddently an "artist", LOL!
