Stamping, card making, scrapbooking, and paper crafting provide me a great creative outlet from every day life. I am a proud mamma of 2, happily married for 8 years, and have two wonderful dogs as well.
My Day JobProfessionally, I have been developing databases and programming for 15 years including MS Access, SQL Server, Oracle, Cold Fusion and other web programming platforms, HTML/JavaScript and Visual Basic. I was also a computer trainer for a while as well teaching adults MS Office and many graphic design applications like Photoshop, Illustrator and Quark. I have a Master's Degree in Computer Information Systems. So, blogging and assisting people with typepad and blogger came naturally for me and I am very happy to help!
My Stampin’ BusinessI have been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator since Oct. 2006 and love it! I started my business because I love to stamp and have a lot of fun creating homemade cards and gifts. There is nothing better then seeing the look on my customer’s faces when they’ve completed a project!
My customers are my friends. Helping them create that perfect gift for that someone special or just for themselves is a wonderful feeling and rewarding in itself. I have a lot of pride in my work but it is more than just stamps and ink—it’s about sharing a part of yourself with the people you love.
Blog Services and Tools for Stampin’ Up! DemonstratorsWhile building my stamping business I created my first blog, http://www.HandStampedByHeather.com. I use it to showcase my artwork, my samples from past and upcoming workshops. I also have links to my monthly newsletters which detail upcoming events and special promotions.
Although I enjoy blogging and really like the way my blog has come along, it can be time consuming to post regularly. It was this point as well as email from a fellow demonstrator (asking for help) which made me want to launch this business and help other demonstrators. I think a blog is a great asset for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators and I want to help others showcase their artwork, promote themselves, and more. I want them to be as happy as I am with my blog - that is my goal.
