OnStage and Friendships Made






Patty, me, and Alice







Slightly over four years ago I decided to join Stampin’ Up!  I didn’t join right away.  I watched YouTubers and read blogs for about a year.  I made cards with what I had, but then decided to attend a Card Buffet in the next town over with a friend of mine.  





That’s when I decided to join, and little did I know someone would become my downline in less than three weeks.  Patty decided to join because I taught classes.  Alice came to a few of my classes and then fell in love with stamping and joined my team.





Not only is card making fun, you get to make friendships along the way.  A few weeks ago my team of two traveled together to Hartford, Connecticut to attend OnStage.  We were all first timers attending so we had no idea what was in store for us.  





Card swapping was a blast.  Good thing we got there in time because swapping happens so fast and when you’re out of your swap cards, you’re done.  





Here are a few pictures of my team.  We all won free product from the Prize Patrol!  We even had the opportunity to try new product and stamp sets.  





Tomorrow I receive my pre-order!  I’m supper excited about that.  The 2018-2019 Annual Catalog is filled with many new products, stamps sets, and super fun colors!





If you would like to join my team, let me know!  We would enjoy sharing our love of stamping with you.

Meet Karen

I am a native Vermonter and enjoy each of the four seasons our state has to offer. Inspired by Gram was created after my grandmother. She taught me many crafting skills over the years and I enjoy sharing them with you. There is nothing like putting a smile on a face, hearing "wow" from a new stamper, and making new friends; near and far.
