Introducing my stampin' space!!! Based on the amount of supplies I have, you may find it hard to believe that I only just started papercrafting/stamping this January! I joined the Stampin' Up! family as a hobby demonstrator at the end of February and I've jumped into this hobby with my whole heart.
I've had a lot of people ask me how I got into my new hobby. For 8 years, I was a fraud and forensic technology consultant with Ernst & Young. With that career, I traveled a lot and worked crazy hours - my work/life balance was out of whack. My biggest regret during those 8 years was not taking the time to recognize the many wonderful people in my life for their birthdays, anniversaries, new babies, etc. with a card. I LOVE getting cards in the mail and I wanted to do the same for all my loved ones.
So, recently, I changed careers and I am now a resource manager at Ernst & Young. My work hours are more predictable and I decided to pick up a new hobby - papercrafting and stamping! I love making cards to send to my family and friends and sharing my creations with all of you. So, here's where I spend my nights and weekends making my creations:
I'll point out a few things in the photo. First of all, this is in our bedroom :). I've taken over one wall - but my husband is SO supportive of my new hobby! My dresser is one of my work areas and to the left of the photo is a desk armoire - the cabinet folds out to a desk (inside is our computer and printer and the desktop is my sit-down workspace). Of course I have a TV, so that I can watch my shows while stamping (Glee, American Idol, Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl - to name a few). The 3-drawer chest holds all of my stamp sets and the shelving beneath it (Jetmax cubes) holds a bunch of different things for now. The file box on the dresser holds all of my 8.5x11 cardstock. The embellishment center above is a magnet board (Jetmax). My stamp pads and reinkers are stored in a unit by Organize More and I LOVE IT! The punches are stored on Bygel rods and the cards are displayed on a Deka curtain wire - both from Ikea.
Let me know if you have any questions about anything else in the picture. Thanks for looking!
