March Guest Designer, Jen del Muro

We are excited to have Jen del Muro with us this month! I first noticed Jen's amazing work through a great stamp company, Verve Stamps. Check out her Verve design team gallery here. You can also check out Jen on her blog, i{heart}2stamp. Welcome Jen!

Meet Jen:

Hi! It's me...Jen del Muro. I am a fan of all things paper crafting and stamping. I started stamping several years ago just as a little hobby. I'm pretty sure you already know how that story turns out, as we have all become masters of procurement in this industry!

I live in North Texas with my husband, daughter and son. We share our home with a couple of loony dogs and a fat black cat. When I am not running around like crazy with any or all of them, I like to find a little peace and quiet in my stamp room. I have been {seriously} stamping and paper crafting for more than 5 years. I design/have designed for several companies and I enjoy getting my work published when I have the time. I love to share my work on my blog, www.iheart2stamp.com. I also teach Copic classes and design kits for my local scrapbook store, Scrapper's Boutique.

Thank you so much to Cindy for asking me to play along this month with the Emma's Paperie crew. The EP store has the best products, super fast shipping and it's like Christmas when you open the package!
