Hi, I'm Leighsa Allport - Independent Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator!
Here to teach and inspire you in the wonderful world of papercraft.
I enjoy all things papercraft and love to share my creations with you. Card making was my first venture into papercraft and remains my number one. I have since ventured in to creating mini albums and scrapbook layouts. Mini albums are so much fun and allow me to make the most of all the photos, that for most, get left on our phones.
