Saipan Southern High School

Sudi Napalan, the librarian at Saipan Southern High School, has been a fan of Stampin' Up! for a while now and attends my events regularly. She asked me to consider doing a stamping demonstration during Teen Week and I was glad to do so. The more I thought about things, the more I wanted to work with these students again.


I agreed to donate supplies and time and expertise to show the students how to make simple cards. Every card will be sent to soldiers from the CNMI who are away from family and friends. The soldiers can use the blank cards to send home, keeping in touch better with the ones that miss them so dearly.

These are some of the wonderful creations the students have made with very little instruction from me! The talent is abundant, and the enthusiasm is very rewarding.


I'm proud to say that we meet every other Wednesday, and the students make 10 to 20 cards per session. They learn more and more each week about the art of stamping! I challenge you to do one small thing in your life that reflects a gift from your heart. . .

Love and kisses?

Okay, maybe I don't scan very straight, but my card is definitely not off kilter like this. I got a fancy scanner/printer from my buddy Janet when she left island and I'm too lazy to read the manual so this is as good as it gets for the moment. There is glitter on the birthday cake and candles. The bottom edge is done with the new scallop edge punch. These new punches are easier to use than the previous style, and I love them!

I felt really good today. I got lots of compliments on my latest creations and will attempt selling them at the retail stores of several Shell service stations on island. Please go in and see them!



The front of this red card shines because the dots are actually printed on a transparent window sheet (attached with glue dots under the ribbon.) This is simple but packs a big "WOW!"

Much thanks to Kerry for letting me use her "love" sayings with my cardstock. I am hooked on the embossing and cutting that can be done with the Big Shot and I totally love how easy it is to make great cards with these pieces!


This card is actually my favorite. The flower was done with the watercolor technique I did at a recent class. . .stamp with white ink on shimmery white cardstock, emboss with white powder, spray with water, and loosely brush the aquapainter dipped in ink from a refill bottle. Easy and fun, and oh, what marvelous results!
