I love your blog, always full of fresh fun ideas. I am a former SU demonstrator, still addicted and loving SU. I have been stamping since drumb roll 1981..back in the day when stamps were hard to find..we have come a long way....I have over 300 SU sets and when I get a new set, I flip it over on the copier and make a copy of the stamps in the case. I put that in the bottom of the case and that way anybody that uses my stamps knows where to return each stamp. I can also track to make sure everything is back in its place when we are done stamping together.

I've been stamping for four years and I admit, I'm addicted to everything that goes with it. :) I am a demonstrator for The Angel Company (TAC), though I taught card-making classes in the LSS before I became a demonstrator last October. I collect stamps and stamp sets from everywhere and anyone. I read your blog for ideas and inspiration, of which there is an abundance. Thank you so much for sharing.

How much fun!! I have been stamping for about 8 years now. I got into it when my daughter was born. I recently became a stampin up demonstrator during sale-a-brations and I am loving it! I have a current running hostess club of 12 ladies and my favorite part is coming up with projects for the club nights. I come to your blog all the time for ideas and inspiration your work is beautiful. I just got my blog up and am still working on it but I'll make a link to this for other people to see!! Thanks for sharing your work!

ShellyH said...

Congrats on that milestone! That is alot of blog traffic!

1) How long have you been stamping?
About 10 months.
2) Are you a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator? NO, I am not.
3) Have you been to my blog before?
No, I just did a search via blogger to find scrapbooking and stamping blogs so I can learn more.
4) I have purchased a few of the clear acrylic stamps along with the stamping blocks at a local store however, I guess they are of poor quality as I have a hard time getting them to always stick down flat on my blocks...any tips?

Hi! I have been stamping for 10 years now and was a SU! Demonstrator in 2000-2001. (We moved and time didn't allow me to keep my stamping time going.) I’m stamping again and back into all SU!s fun In-Colors, mini's, stamp sets, 2 catalogs now, etc! I also check your blog a couple times a week. Very nice seeing card ideas and seeing what's new in SU! land and your world!! Michelle :)

Jenn in GA said...

hey nancy! congrats on reaching 200K! your work is fantastic and i appreciate your blog friendship as well.

i've been stamping for at least 10 years, if not longer, and became a demo 2 years ago. i visit your blog regularly and am wondering:

how you avoid the urge to hoard, especially when it comes to those cool scrappin' kits that you make cards from. there's a limited number of items and once they're used, they're used!

one other question: what's the most frugal purchase you've made that has enhanced your stamping/stamping area the most?

chinamomxtwo said...

Nancy, I love your blog!
Here's my answers:
1) Been stamping about 20+ years!
2) Nope, not a demo
3) Yes, I visit 5-6 x week, is that stalking? ;-)
4) Would you please pick me to win!? I really want that set (and am just too broke to buy a thing right now!)
Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Congrats on all the hits!

Love your blog! I have been stamping for about 6 years and I just became a SU demonstrator. I some help to pay for this obsession! I have been to your blog before. It's on my favs.

Congrats on 200,000 hits. I can only dream of that day for my blog. I visit your site all the time, I have subscribed so I get your posts as you do them. I have been stamping for about one year, and have been a SU demonstrator for that long as well. I'm more of a hobby demo, but I would like to make it more of a business. How do you find inspiration in your cardmaking only using SU products? I love all the other stuff I find at the scrapbooking store.
Thanks for offering the chance at some great icandy.

Anonymous said...

I love your blog and a chance to win iCandy. I have been stamping for a little over a year and a half. I became a SU demo shortly after I was introduced to SU. After the first time I saw a catalog, I was hooked! I love visiting your blog...usually every day, and CASE many of your designs. I appreciate your talents and look forward to the new designs you create.

I love your blog and frequent it regularly. How to do find the time to keep up with a blog along with all the great stamping projects? I have been stamping since I was pregnant with my daughter, first of three children. She is 11! At one time I was a SU demonstrator but have chosen not to be now. I love stamping but sometimes I don't get to for quite a while. I spend enough on it that I should be a demonstrator!

200K? That's great - and it happened for good reason. I've been a stamper for 15 years (never a demo for any company), but can't come up with my own ideas. Thanks for having inspiration I can find with a click of a keyboard key or two!

I have been stamping for 13 years. Seems like forever ago when I started. There are so many more options/products available now. I am not a stampin' up demonstrator but a huge addict to their papers, inks, markers & stamps. I attend a "stamp club" once a month to get my fix. I guess there are worse addictions, huh? I am a regular visitor of your blog. Always love you style. Thanks for all your inspiration.

Love your blog. I have not visited here before but my sister started a blog and had a link to yours. Check her out at www.mystampstuff.blogspot.com
To answer your questions, I have been a SU! Demonstrator for 4 years now. I pretty much just have a stamp club going right now, but I love stamping, I signed up after attending one workshop and no previous knowledge of Stampin' Up! I just loved the stuff and how easy it was to create cute things. I love seeing others ideas and I am glad my sister intoduced me to the world of stamp blogs, they are so much fun!!! Thanks
