My name is Cindy (aka HappyStamper). I have been happily married for nearly 25 years and am the mother of two adult children and one teenager. I have lived my entire life in beautiful West Michigan. I have been teaching stamping and "scramping" (scrapbooking using rubber stamps) since 2002 and began scrapbooking with traditional products in the spring of 2005 shortly after I discovered scrapbooking message boards. I enjoy scrapbooking because it allows me to combine artistic expression with preserving my family history. I like to play with my supplies and create anything that involves ink and/or paper! I enjoy scrapping and stamping message boards because I like sharing ideas with other artists from around the world and one can never have too many friends! I am thrilled to have been chosen as a member of the ScrapLovers Sweethearts Design Team and hope that I can inspire our site members to learn from each other while keeping in mind that there is no right or wrong when you create from the heart.
