Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator
Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it. I am so excited as it is my Stampaversary today. I am 4! That means that 4 years ago today I took advantage of the amazing joining offer and signed up as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and became a Pootler. I can honestly say it was the best decision ever. I knew when I signed up that I wanted to be more than a hobby demo but I was a very busy teacher so could only do blogs and videos here and there. Fast forward 9 months and I am no longer a teacher and I am a full time demo with daily blogs and a 3 video a week schedule on YouTube. Now I am busy with about 12 blog hops a month and up to 5 videos a week! I have a small team and some very lovely customers. I enjoy going to work everyday ... it's the room next to my bedroom so not far to travel!
Best decision I ever made
Joining Stampin' Up! really was the best decision I ever made. I have always crafted and had a dedicated craft room at home. Being a teacher my time was limited but it was what I did to help me relax and feel normal and not just a marking machine. There was a fantastic joining offer on as it was Sale-a-bration so I did some sums and worked out that I probably spent every 3 months what the quarterly minimums were and I had bought Stampin' Up! products so knew they were the best quality I had ever used. The other thing of course was the colour coordination. Having paper, ink, card, ribbon and embellishments that all match really does take your card making to another level.
Of course there are the benefits I had never realised before I joined. I am now part of a wonderful team that really is like a second family. I have made friends for life with the loveliest group of people you could ever meet. Never a days goes by that we don't chat. There for you what ever you need, not just crafting.
I have also discovered a wonderful world of crafty inspiration and learnt that I love sharing what I create and seeing what others create. I have learnt to make and edit videos, take quite good photos, how to blog, how to take part in a blog hop and a video hop. All fun things that I really enjoy and never ever did before.
The Stampin' Up! events are always a highlight of the year ...sadly not happened in the last year but we have met virtually.

Some of my favourite projects
This is quite hard to chose! But I have to say that I am really really enjoying making junk journals
My favourite Christmas card :-)
Loved this sunflower box
Love this card that was in Kylie Bertucci's top ten
Loved using my Stampin' Up! stamps and punches to make vintage embellishments
I just love this box I designed and the decoration really makes me smile
I do love making my crafty storage, still use both my glue tidies
Love making swaps for Stampin' Up! events
Loved making my craft room tour!
Lol! I need to do another one because it has changed so much ...don't worry it is still a mess!
Loved making this mini album
I am not alone it seems, I have had so many people share with me pictures of the albums they have made by following my tutorial. That makes my job so fuflilling #bestjobever
My first one sheet mini album, just loved designing and making this
Of course my snowman box is one of my all time favourite projects :-)
It has been very interesting to see how my blogging has changed over the last 4 years and I am probably a bit embarrassed by some of my videos now!
I hope you like this look back at the last 4 years, it has been fun to reminisce. It really was the best decision I have ever made. Always a good time to join during Sale-a-bration because the joining offer is always so good. To make sure you don't miss any of my projects why not subscribe to my YouTube channel, follow my blog and subscribe to my newsletter? I will be back tomorrow, until then ...
Happy Crafting!

You've done some very creative and lovely projects. Congratulations on your birthday with SU
ReplyDeleteThank you, I have to say I just love being able to create everyday :-)
DeleteCongratulations! I'm a demo of only 1 1/2 yrs. Your blog is amazing! I couldn't believe you've only been a demo for 4 years. I just watch the desk organized video, and as that's my daily dilemma,I'm making it this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your creativity! You are a gift to us all!

Thank you so much Sue :-)
DeleteI hope you enjoyed making the project. I must confess that despite making lots of storage for my desk it is actually never tidy and organised, not even an organised mess ...just a mess! lol
Love being a demo, so glad I joined :-)
