Meet Kathy

Hi and welcome to my online studio! Even though I recently retired from a fulfilling career, I’m super busy being a wife and mom (3 kids, 4 cats) and teaching a ladies’ Bible class, I still make time to be creative in my stamping studio. I’ve been a Stampin' Up demonstrator since 2006 because I love their products and I enjoy sharing my love of stamping with others. Feel free to contact me—I’d love to hear from you!
