Renee VanStralen
Renee’s Bio
I’m married to my best friend and together we have 5 children (3 boys, 2 girls; ages 8-1). My hubby, Paul, is a pastor and he’s out a lot of evenings so I needed something to help occupy my time (not that my life is dull by any means!). I went to a Stampin’ Up! party at my mom’s home in 2006 and was hooked! Stamping is certainly something I love to do!! I enjoy so many different challenges as I have learned and grown so much as a stamper.

Cindy’s Bio
I live in Quebec City, Canada, and I’ve been a Stampin’ Up! demo for 3½ years now. I signed up the very day SU! entered the Quebec market, planning to be my own very best customer. Things took off soon afterwards, though, and I am now at the head of a team of 30 wonderful demos called “Des dames en art” (Queens of Art).
SU! has been an amazing addition to my life. It has allowed me to meet people who share my passion, to finance my hobby, to develop my leadership skills and to travel! My blog has also allowed to share my work to a wider audience and to meet new stamping friends from all around the world.

Kirsty’s Bio
My name is Kirsty Brown. I am 31 years of age with 4 beautiful children and of course a loving and a supporting (you have to be with my craft addiction LOL) Husband. We live in sunny Queensland, in a farming community, called Gatton. I started my paper craft addiction close to 7 years ago with scrapbooking. To this day I still scrapbook, I love it. I love how you can make some simple photos look absolutely stunning with a few papers and a couple embellishments and not to mention preserving your most precious memories. I was introduced to Stampin’ Up! in January 2008 by a dear close friend, Theresa. It didnt take too long for me to become a demonstrator myself by August 2008 and I haven’t looked back. I love to show people the magical things you can do with paper, ink and a little bit of rubber. Also to show them how simple it is to hand craft acard and gift for that someone special. I hope I can inspire you to create to your hearts content.

Amy’s Bio
I am married to a wonderful husband named Sean who unknowingly feeds my obsession for stamping (ha ha). I am also very blessed with three beautiful boys, Thomas (7) Lachlan (5) and Noah (3). I live in New Plymouth, New Zealand.
I got into stamping when I couldn’t find any wedding invitations that I liked 10 years ago and therefore decided to make my own, and haven’t stopped since. I started as a Stampin’ Up demonstrator 1 year ago and have thoroughly enjoyed the journey. On nearly every card I make you will find something paper tolled - which I credit to my love of scissors as I am also a hairdresser and I am a ribbon fanatic. Not only is the creating of the card rewarding but the most pleasurable part is giving the card to someone as you are giving a part of yourself.

Sarah-Jane’s Bio:
My name is Sarah-Jane Kale’. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 7yrs and we have two BEAUTIFUL daughters, Jorja (2) and Ella 10mths. I have been stamping for about 3 years now and love sitting down to create something and also share this wonderful hobby of mine with others. Seeing peoples faces light up when they realise that they CAN do this just makes my day.
I hope that I can help inspire people as much as becoming a SU! demo and meeting such an amazing and wonderfully talented group of ladies has inspired me.
