Simply Stars!

 Simply Stars....my Stampin' Up! team!  I have had a few of you email to ask me about my Stampin' Up! team so I thought I'd share a bit with you today.  My team is a group of amazing women from all over Canada that all share the LOVE of paper crafting.  We bond and share all our ideas on our downline blog.  On our blog we have videos, photos but most of all friendship!  At my last downline meeting I sat back and really enjoyed seeing this.  My downline Anne hosted the end of SU year potluck dinner.  We enjoyed some outside time and I was thrilled sitting around watching all of these fabulous ladies interact with one another!  I was sad some of our stars missed the dinner, but we still managed to have fun.

I have been a demonstrator now for six years and have gained so many things I could never imagine.  I started my journey as a demonstrator when my dad was ill.  I wanted to scrapbook some of the important highlights in his life and get his stories on paper before it was too late.  After he passed away I decided to embrace the SU opportunity and scrapbook and create.  A few years in I started to build a team, somewhat by accident.  I have been so lucky to have so many fabulous women join my team.  I love this quote that I can remember my dad sharing with me:  

Every great dream begins with a dreamer.  Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

Isn't it great!  So from this quote, Simply Stars were born!  And now, I have gained so many amazing friendships and been inspired by all!  Thank you to each of my team members for trusting in me and for playing an important role in my life!  If joining Stampin' Up! is something you've considered I'd love to hear from you!  There are a few options for joining the stamping up family.  Feel free to check out my site for more details on being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  Here are some of the kit details:

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!  Today's card was made by my friend and downline Annie P!  Isn't it GORGEOUS?  It uses the new set Artistic Etchings and focuses on the Marina Mist colour.  I love how she outlined the stamp in the corresponding marker.  It's hard to see but the tower is cut out and popped up.  LOVE the hint of Taffeta ribbon along the bottom of the card!  Thanks for making it for me and letting me share!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Take care,

Heather

Thank you, Heather, for sharing part of your heart with us as in why you particularly love stars and therefore named your team Simply Stars. (I had wondered what the connection was.) I love the way it honors your Dad. It makes him a part of it all. Thanks for sharing that story and the quote with us that he shared with you - it is beautiful.
