About Shauna

I fell in love with the art of rubber stamping when I was 12 years old. I blame my grandparents. I already had every crafty hobby imaginable when they bought me a few stamps, an ink pad, and some embossing powder. I was hooked. From that point on, no special occasion has gone unmarked by one of my hand-crafted creations. Scrapbooking came next, and though it isn't my first love, it's a close second.

Sick husband, sick baby.. or is that sick baby, sick little one?  Either way, it’s a house full of woe and kleenex.  Fingers crossed that they’re on the mend, that I’ll be getting more sleep soon, and that I don’t … Continue reading

Wild Roses by my mom

My mother in law comes to all my card classes.  She’s a super keen stamper, but one of the few who has the willpower not to buy any supplies for herself.  I’m convinced she’s smart enough to know that once … Continue reading
