My Blurb

Ok as I said yesterday I had hoped to revise the blurb that SU published but I didn't catch it before it was scheduled to post soooo here is my revised version!

My name is Mercedes Weber & I signed up to be a demonstrator in 2004.

I am totally smitten with all of Stampin Up's products and I signed up just to get the discount! I was pregnant with #2 at the time and 11 months after #2, #3 came along...SURPRISE! So needless to say hosting parties was not in the cards for me. But after being home with them for over two years I needed some mommy play dates! I had already been a demo for 3 years when I decided to give workshops a real try. Now fast forward a few years and I have 5 amazing downline (Go Paper Paradise Stampers!) and absolutely LOVE teaching classes and spending time with my stamping friends every month! I have built so many wonderful friendships through Stampin Up and that in itself is totally priceless!  

Now lets talk about my favorite toys! I could not live with out my Big Shot!!! I was at convention when it was first announced & I have been a believer ever since! I'm pretty addicted to Baker's Twine too! Yep, I would put it on EVERY card I make if I could! Hey wait...I can! 

My stamping style is all over the place but my favorite is the shabby chic/vintage look. Also seems like I have to add texture & distressing to everything! What? It makes me Happy!! 

I have lived in Northern California for all of my life. Go Niners! 

I now have 4 beautiful daughters & an absolutely Uh-Mazing husband that supports my craziness 100%! I'm a self proclaimed cupcake-aholic! I'm also a huge country music fan & have a bit of an obsession with the Marvel Super Hero movies! I {heart} Iron Man!

I am beyond blessed to have been selected to serve on this years Artisan Design Team along side such amazing talent! Hope you enjoy our creations & are inspired to create your own works of art!
