Thank you for taking the time to visit my website.  I am thrilled to share with everyone my love of papercrafts.  Although I have done my share of scrapbooking, my real passion is creating cards!   I received my first stamp as a gift from my friend Krista in 1995.  I remember her telling me, ” if there’s anyone who will do anything with this it will be you!”.   She was absolutely right, I have not stopped stamping since!  I have been teaching stamping and papercrafting classes since 2006 and have enjoyed every minute.  I have taught classes out of my in-home studio, privately in people’s homes, for groups of Girl Guides, have designed stamping birthday parties, and also taught at scrapbooking retreats at Tigh-Na-Mara.  I absoutely LOVE blending techniques and COPIC markers are right up my alley.  I also find that my certificate in Floral Design comes in handy when designing both for placement and colour scheme.  I am thankful for the memories that I made at my co-owned retail brick and mortar store Scrappers’ Anonymous but I am even more excited to getting to know each and everyone even more now that I have branched out on my own with my new business Scrapbook Essentials BC!  I hope that you will continue on scrapbooking, cardmaking and papercrafting with me and take the time to get to know my family and I.  I will once again have open hours at my studio but please check the calendar to find out what my hours are each week.

I am also excited to introduce you to my very own stamp line called Scrapbook Essentials BC-Essential Stamps!  The first release was on October 22nd, 2011 and the stamps featured illustrations by Teresa Winstone.  Some of you will remember her as she worked at Scrappers’ Anonymous.  She is very talented and I hope that you enjoy using her illustrations that we have made into stamps.

Wishing you many creative moments and hope to see you soon!
