Stampin' Up® News!

 

 Yes - you have read this correctly - Stampin' Up®. It has been a while since I checked in here, lots has happened and I will not go into detail for everything. But - for this page last year after a number of years of health issues the owner of Close to my Heart decided it was time to close the doors. Many of us were heartbroken. In my case, I was a consultant for 30 years. But as always, I looked to the future. So, as Close to my Heart closed the doors in April. I started a new journey with Stampin' Up® in May 2024. I do hope you will come along in my new adventure.

 And an adventure it is - SU just introduced two tone cardstock, flip flaps - does that sound familiar? I am so excited! Also, the scrapbook workshops have the same type of guides as we used with Close to my Heart. Our new designer, my former upline, Karen Pederson, now works for Stampin' Up® as well designing and teaching these workshops virtually. In fact, this summer we will have Virtual Scrapbook Retreat - how fun is that?

 So, lots of great things coming.

 I invite you browse my new website as I update this blog with our new specials, etc.

 Happy crafting,
