Guest Stamper: Karren Reda

SDC13518-1

It's an adventure from every angle.  This beautiful star is a mini scrapbook, ready for additional photos and memories.  My dear friend and stamper extraordinaire, Karren Reda, created it for me as a special gift to honor my sister-in-law, who passed away recently.

  8. I am also fortunate to have received one of Karren’s inspirational star albums. I have been lucky to be one of Karren’s best friends over the past 40+ years and introduced her to rubber stamping. She has totally surpassed me with her creativity and talent. She is the most giving person I have the honor to know. Congratulations Karren! Another masterpiece. Mary, what a wonderful way to remember your sister-in-law. Trisha
