Anna's Paper Tribe is Back

Come Create With Me!

Life has taken some significant twists and turns since my last published post. Here is a basic rundown:

- I left my job as a licensed Property & Casualty Insurance employee.

- I started a job as a loss prevention detective for a major corporation.

- Embarked on a second college degree in Criminal Justice - Forensic Science.

- No longer a Close To My Heart Maker, as the company closed its doors.

- Last but not least, I am now an Independent Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator.

I am thrilled to share my new adventure with all of you! The spring college semester is over, and I'm relaunching my stamping and scrapbooking business.

 This summer is going to be so much fun!

As a Stampin’ Up!® demonstrator, I find great joy in being creative every day and helping others unleash their creativity through my blog. I believe that creating cards and gift items is about sharing a part of yourself with the people you love. 

I am passionate about sharing and teaching quick, easy card-making and fun scrapbooking pages. Whether you are new to paper crafting or looking for new ideas, you've come to the right place. Everyone can enjoy this hobby and find a beautiful way to share love for others with a card for all occasions. 

I am part of a fantastic community of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators who love to share, inspire, teach, and help others enjoy their hobby as much as I do.

Here is a great little kit you can try if you have never created with Stampin' Up!®
