Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. I will be developing this blog over time (as I learn the ropes of blogging), so please pop back from time to time to see what's new and what I have added.
Let me introduce myself.....
My name is Mandy (of course you already knew that from the title of this blog) and I am an Independent Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator in Australia. I also have a full time job in administration and am a wife and mum to three adult children, who are all working but still living at home.
Oh yes, we also have a very bossy little baby in the house named Molly, who thinks she rules the roost. Well she kinda does really. Just look at that face!
Life is pretty hectic, to say the least!
Here is our baby with her summer haircut
A crafty history...
I have been card making, scrapbooking and papercrafting for 17 years and I just love it (obviously). Prior to that I had dabbled in other types of craft as I come from a very creative family, so I guess it's in the genes. Thankfully my creative genes have also been passed on to my children, so I love that I can share that with them.
and Stampin' Up!®...
Over the years I have used many different products for papercrafting and I have been buying Stampin' Up! products for quite a number of years now. A friend of mine, who had become a demonstrator, suggested that I join Stampin' Up! as I was placing quite significant orders and she explained the benefits to me. After thinking for a bit I thought "Why not! I can then order the products cheaper". So I joined!
I soon realised that the more I looked at the catalogue, the more products I actually loved and needed to buy.
I then decided that I wanted to share these awesome products with family, friends, work colleagues and the greater community, so I started sharing the catalogue with others and showing people what I had been creating.
Soon afterwards I made a private Facebook group called Mandy's Papercraft Creations to share my creations and Stampin' Up! with family and friends. I have recently opened up this group to the public.

What's next for Mandy's Papercraft Creations?
Lately I've been hearing more and more about blogging, so here I am. Technologically challenged, but muddling my way through. Hey, I got this far on my own. Yay me!!! It might take me a while to get my blog up to scratch, but you've got to start somewhere I guess. Please be patient with me.
The next step for me is to start offering workshops, which needs some planning and time management, as I am still working my full time job as well.
Prior to joining Stampin' Up! I had taught and inspired many people (adults and children) to be creative, so it's just a matter of getting back into teaching and planning my time well.
I love being able to inspire other people and share the joy of crafting and creating with other people.
Stay tuned for more info on Stampin' Up! and photos of what I've been creating lately.
