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 evolved into a business, sometimes taking center stage as my primary focus, and at other times remaining a more casual pursuit. That is the beauty of this business, it can be as big or small, busy or casual as you like, and it can change over time with the ebb and flow of our lives.

JOIN MY TEAM

Teaching stamping, memory keeping, and paper crafting has become my main focus, 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
