I’ve been stamping for 19 years and blogging about stamping for 13 years at Inking Idaho.  Although stamping will always be my first love, making paper purses and paper flowers run a close second.  I love to create dimensional items!  My style is pretty clean and simple with attention to every detail.  I’m not much of a technique stamper – a little too OCD to make a big mess.  I have a tiny stamping area in the alcove of our bonus room where the dog lays at my feet and the cat in the window and a view of the gorgeous mountains at the end of our street.

I started stamping with the deaf community in Sacramento 19 years ago after I lost my own hearing with the birth of our first son.  I needed to find a hobby that I could enjoy without having to ‘hear’ too much instruction.  A friend suggested stamping and the rest is history and the reason I use the hashtag #deafstamper on Instagram.

I have been married to George Papadopoulos for 27 years and we have two college age boys, Benjamin and Nicholas.  We also have a golden retriever named Daphne and a cat named Cheeto, so basically we will never be empty nesters and that is just the way we like it!
