How did you first get involved in stamping?
I began scrap booking for a year and heard that some people "stamped." When I investigated I saw how much materials were involved and said "forget it." Then this girl who worked at the scrap book store convinced me to buy a few items and the rest is history. I now have three years of scrap booking to catch up on!
