When I was browsing through the different blogs I follow, I came across a card by Vicki Birdick that I had to case. She does amazing work!

I was… Read More »

I'm a hobby demonstrator thinking about delving into the business side…But, in all honesty, there are… Read More »
Hi Stampin' Friends I am having so much fun with the MDS 2! I downloaded the free 30 day trial of the MDS2 #130910. I know I'm buying the upgrade but I thought I would play around with it first.

Can I Sell Stamps Without Giving Myself Away? Over the past few weeks, I've received several emails from stamping business owners expressing the same concern: Does a stamping business owner have to give everything away (their time, their classes, their profit, etc.) in order to sell catalog product?
