Hi, I'm Christine Alward and welcome to my website. I have been a demonstrator with Stampin' Up! since December 2009, and I love paper crafting and card making.
I love to make people feel good and happy about their accomplishments, big or small, and I can never get enough of the smiles and pride I see on my customers' faces when they look at a finished project.
So many have told me that they have no creativity or talent when it comes to crafting, and all I would ask them is to give it a try and let me prove them wrong. Watching happy clients of all ages leave my classes with their finished cards and projects is what I like best about my job as independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I hope you will find inspiration in the projects I present here and that you will join me in my studio for a class.

Where did Summer 2017 go?
Hello Stampers,
It feels like I just put away our clothes for the cool season to make room for light and airy summer outfits, but when I check my calendar, that was almost four months ago. End of August marks end of summer, school starts in a few days, we can see the first fall and Halloween decorations on display in various stores, and night-time temperatures are dropping almost daily. One sure sign of fall is Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Catalogue being released to customers all over the world.
My pre-order arrived at the 10th of August, let me tell you: I have not stopped playing, creating and looking at all the new product I received. Of course everyone has their favorites, so do I, but do I really have to rank my picks?
Looking at all the Holiday product I have to say I love the Carols of Christmas bundle, but it should not count, as it was available to pre-order, right? But SU did not stop at the bundle, we are getting a complete suite of coordinating product to help us make card, tags, gift packaging and memory keeping.
Watch the video here and see for yourself:
If you'd like to see these goodies in real, come to my Holiday Catalogue Launch Party on Saturday, September 9th from 4pm to 6pm. You will see new product and samples I made with it, you get to make your own little card and tag, meet friends, enjoy a hot beverage and some sweets. And if you are lucky, you might even win one of my door prizes. All orders placed on that day qualify for BOGOF from my Retired List, which means you get to pick items up to the value of your order before shipping & tax.
I'd love to see many of you at my event, your personal copy of the Holiday catalogue is waiting for you.
In the meantime, be happy, and create & stamp!
Christine
