Hi everyone and apologies for my little haitus.
I have been on annual leave and a lot has gone on "behind the scenes" with big big changes for me personally.
Firstly, I am no longer a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I made what was a huge decision to resign. There were many reasons that I took into consideration before doing so and it was not done lightly.
I was a demonstrator for nearly six years, and during that time I built up a fantastic and much valued customer base. It is those people whom I have to thank for helping me to grow as a papercrafter. The many many happy chats on the phone, the lovely cards and gifts; the email messages and little words of advice and encouragement and support helped to spur me on.
So with some sadness, but also an excited heart, I can share that I have been accepted on many affiliate programmes such as Arteza, Tonic, Altenew, My Favourite Things, Lawn Fawn, Hero Arts, Sizzix and Spellbinders.... to name just a few.
I shall be locked a way for a little time working on some exciting new projects, using lots of different new and innovative papercrafting "brands" and products and enjoying myself.
There is a huge big wide papercrafting world out there and I am going to dive in and have fun crafting without limitation or restrictions.
I hope you will join me on the way.
Thank you for reading.
Bye for now ................and "happy crafting" everybody.
Linda xx
Wishing you the best of luck in your new ventures honey, you sure will be missed in the Stampin' Up! World, but you have lots of new things to look forward to and I will look forward to seeing you fly with your new venture!!

You are a wonderful woman and so inspiring, not just in crafting but in life. Go and have fun with all the new products you can now play with. I look forward to seeing what you create. Lots of love, K xxx
ReplyDeleteI surely will miss your Stampin' Up! inspiration but am looking forward to seeing what I can incorporate your new ideas into my Stampin' Up! world with! I wish you all the luck and success in your move forward. You truly are a very blessed and creative individual and deserve to succeed with your hard work!
ReplyDeleteWishing you every success with your new venture. It is going to be so exciting to see what creations you are going astound us with. I try and recreate your ideas with what we have available here in South Africa (no SU products) but your ideas that I have recreated have impressed many of my friends. Thank you again for sharing and I look forward to seeing what future ideas you will have. Have fun breaking through new creative boundaries.
ReplyDeleteI have followed you for several years and am in awe of your creativity. I have seen several posts by "former" SU demonstrators just today. I am sorry they felt they had to restrict your creativity. Glad you will be staying around crafting. You have sparked my creative juices MANY times! Thank you! (This is SU's loss to say the least).
ReplyDeleteGoing to miss you. Your tutorials have been an inspiration for me. I was a Spellblogger for Spellbinders a few years ago and they do have some amazing products so enjoy. I have lots of Spellbinder dies and felt so privileged when I affiliated for them. I still have all my Spellbinder dies as I cannot part with them, lol.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the very best for your crafting future and I hope to see you still on You Tube etc...
Happy Crafting. xxx
