Creativity Abounds Blog Hop - July 2025 - Christmas in July
Time for another Creativity Abounds Blog Hop! We are a group of very keen Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world who are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can inspire you to make creations of your own. You may be starting here or you may have come from someone else's blog - either way there is a list at the end of this post to help you move around all the different blogs and get many amazing ideas. We all have our country listed - so if you are looking for a demonstrator in your country, these demonstrators would love to look after you with your Stampin' Up!® shopping or if you would like to join our Stampin' Up!® teams.
Here's our amazing Creativity Abounds Design Team! We said good bye to Jan Clothier this month. We are sad to see her go and will miss her amazing creativity! We're exciting to welcome Kristine McNickle to our team - also from New Zealand and can't wait to see what she creates for us!
