About

Hi,

My name is Gianna a.k.a. Gigi. I am a very busy single mother of 3 young adults (Dan 21, Marcus 19 and Marianna 17). I have spent much of the past 10 years always working more than 1 job at a time to support my children. Throughout my journey I have discovered Stampin Up and paper crafting. It has become my island of calm in an otherwise hectic world. In the past year Stampin Up has added Paper Pumpkin to its repertoire of wonderful ways to enjoy crafting. This has become a favorite pass time of mine, because it is so easy and portable. I hope you enjoy my musings and crafting ideas. Please come visit my Stampin Up web page www.gigistamps.com and online store at http://creativetimewithgigi.stampinup.net/.

I like the way these markers give the “stained glass” a rich and saturated color. The Delicate Lace Edglits really give the card a striking look…
