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
I love the Translucent Florals stamp set and coordinating Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper.
Here is an awesome way to use those leftover strips we all have to make fantastic backgrounds for future cards.
I love using the same pieces of cardstock and Designer Series Paper to create different cards.
Do you love fancy fold cards? This one looks great and is easy to create, a winning combination!
We used the fun Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper for a One Sheet Wonder card night at Connie’s Craft Along.
This week we had our Paper Pumpkin and Kits Party Night. It is a casual crafting night for everyone to craft, chat, help and inspire each other.
The Everyday Details Bundle offers some pretty stamps and some awesome layering dies for you to create wonderful cards and papercraft projects.
For our third day of the new catalogue kick off, we moved from the Sale-a-Bration brochure, to the mini catalogue.
Today we continued our tour of the Sae-a-Bration (SAB) brochure, playing with some of the beautiful products you can get for free with a $60 or $120 purchase.
Here is a fun layout that will give you two cards while you are cutting and prepping for one!
The Feathered Flight stamp set is a wonderful stamp set available in our Online Exclusive product line.
We had a wonderful evening creating some finishing touches for Christmas. Tags, Bags and a Box!
Hanukkah, or the Festival of Lights begins tonight so I wanted to share the joy with some Hanukkah cards that I made during Craft Spot this week.
Here is another layout that is easy to do, can be stepped up if you want, and shows off our wonderful Designer Series Paper.
This past week has been very busy. I finished my Girls Get Away Weekend (GGAW), and now I am moving on to OnStage, our wonderful Stampin’ Up! Conference in Houston Texas.
