Next month I’ll be celebrating 10 years as an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. Of course I’ve been papercrafting for even longer than that. However all my experience doesn’t stop me making rookie mistakes. This is exactly what happened this morning as I designed a Christmas card using the Joy To You Stamp Set.

When you’re creating are you ever influenced by people you know? I definitely am. In fact yesterday’s beetle convertible birthday card attracted the attention of the person who inspired it. She loved it too, which was a relief! Today’s sneak peek project was inspired by the Stampin’ Up! artist who painted the designs for the Christmas Meadow 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP).
