Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team

So excited to be part of the Artisan Design Team for Stampin' Up! in 2025!

I joined Stampin’ Up! in 2024 and have appreciated the warm welcome given to former Close To My Heart™ Makers. I love creating layouts, cards, mini albums, and off-the-page projects, and find joy in sharing my work and inspiring others.

My main focus is scrapbooking, a passion I attribute to my grandmothers, who kept daily diaries. While I may not have their consistency, scrapbooking allows me to curate and document life’s moments pictorially.

I also value the long-term friendships that regular craft days and weekend retreats have given me—which is another one of our hobby’s benefits.

Outside of crafting, I teach at a local primary school. I enjoy photography and tasty café experiences, loving walks and weekends at the beach. I need a good espresso to kickstart my day, even when I’m away from home. Instant coffee just doesn’t cut it.

I’m thrilled to be part of the Artisan Design Team for 2025 and can’t wait to share my creativity with you using fantastic Stampin’ Up! products!

The team is from different parts of the world, check out where we all come from:

Purging

The stuff can take over. My stuff was covering my work surface and much of the bedroom floor. I had to do a big sort out. I was brutal. Stuff...ready to go. I packaged it in some storage totes I had that needed a new home (I’m waiting for my new CTMH travel system to arrive) and listed it on s local trading site. It’s gone now. It doesn’t look pretty but I have a desk space and things are organised. The rest of my supplies now fit in this cupboard. Since the ‘purge’ I have had the space to create. It feels good and it’s great to be able to get to my desk. A few pages made since the tidy up...and a box of 20 cards!

Cheese Rolls

Spread sliced bread with Cheese Spread (see below). Roll up. Toast in oven & serve hot. These may be frozen and heated when required! cheese spread: 1pkt onion soup; 500g tasty cheese - grated; a 400g tin of evaporated milk; Put all ingredients in a saucepan and heat slowly until cheese melts and mixture thickens. Stir well. When cool store in jars in the fridge for sandwhiches etc or put in your cheese rolls! Yep, the Up2Scrap Elite Design team has been announced - soo privileged & excited to be a part of it. Congrats to Donna , Rach , Lianne , Trina & Sue & thanks Steph & Jo for the opportunity:-) We have been in Invercargill overnight - nice to get away even if it is only for a night! We went to Queens Park & the Museum/Art Gallery today & the Art Gallery Cafe served these cheese rolls -yum! Such a lower South Island thing - but soo good!

my week so far...

This week is turning out great! Having time on Monday (Otago Anniversary Day) to scrap with Lynley was just the best beginning! Lynley was putting together some beginner class stuff that she intends to do soon – it looked great! I got home to an email from The Scrapbook Outlet NZ asking if I would be a casual/oncall designer for their Design Team – of course I accepted – can’t wait to learn from Rach , Donna & Shani! Then today I get an email from Jo (subeditor @ Up2Scrap ) accepting one of my submissions – I did send a few mind you so as you can imagine I’m buzzing! I have packaged the LO ready to send tomorrow after Playcentre. Need to get back to reality though – Mum & Dad’s 50th Birthday this weekend, have to work out what I’m going to say, sort some table decorations & not to mention some way of sharing pictures of them when I only have Friday night & Saturday to do it! Have to do some Playcentre Admin work this ev...
