There are many ways to be creative. Susan Johnson’s accomplishments at her job always revealed her ability to think out-of-the-box (a street was named after her when she left!) Still, when it came to artistic creativity, she thought of herself as a “no-talent.”
Then, someone invited her to a “Stamping Class.” It was fun and easy, requiring nothing but the assembly of card pieces. One class followed another. As her confidence grew, Susan veered away from prefab patterns.
Now, Susan’s original ideas wake her in the middle of the night. She dreams of unique greeting cards, of course, but also gift bags, bottle tags, table decorations, fun-fold cards–and recently, counting books for her grandchildren!
Furthermore, clever friends are drawn to Susan’s house every week, just to create pretty things!
Then, last fall, Susan’s family christened her a true artist, by presenting her with a paper storage unit, in which to store her multitude of artistic materials.
Susan, you are proof that artistic creativity can lie dormant, just waiting to burst into bloom!
Dear Susan
Thanks for joining that creative card making group AND teaching many more to spread the talent around. Susan is a wonderful gifted person & she is one of the the most positive people I’ve ever known! Keep up the good work Susan!

You’re right Janice…I forgot “Sassy”.

Sooooo glad you are still enjoying our Craft and branching out of just cards. Miss creating with you.
A lovely lady of great talent and great heart! Keep it up, you’re going places!
Way to go Susan… Never lose your friendly energetic zest for fun and life in general. It’s a pleasure to know you! Dee
And … not only does she create beautiful cards, especially for her classes, but she’s a smart, sassy, & very fun friend!
