Time to move on from Stampin up

Pin It
Just a quick post today to let you all know i have resigned as a stampin up demonstrator. For the past weeks now someone has been reporting me to head office and they have been ringing and asking me to edit or remove my posts and videos as they contained or I promoted non stampin up products and i was breaching their policies. I have been with stampin up for a year now as a hobbyist and my decision to resign is that I was NOT going to edit or remove any of my blog posts or video clips, as you could imagine how much time, effort, and creating goes into these things.( I will still have to edit things anyway) Although this has been upsetting my biggest disappointment was that not once, even in my resignation email did Stampin up thank me for 12 months of creative input ........ inspire.create.share ........ that's what i was doing. When I first joined my husband said to me I hope this doesn't limit your creativeness, and you know he was spot on! it can do that and it did, the world of paper crafting is huge! and stampin up is just one part of that. my biggest peeve is that I'll continue to use the products because I love them but be a passive advertiser for them anyway. I respect the fact that so many make stampin up their sole business but for me this would only limit my creative flow. I figure you can only get pruned back to blossom somewhere else even more beautiful.
Blessings to you

and a last thought

Dear brother, is your life full of difficulties and temptations?
Then be happy, for when the way is rough, your patience
has a chance to grow. So let it grow and don't try to squirm
out of your problems. For when your patience is finally in
full bloom, then you will be ready for anything, full and complete.
James 1: 2-4

Valita: Beyond a huge "Thank You" I don't know what to say. Your flower is FABULOUS. I cannot wait to try this. I'll email you after I have attempted to recreate what you made.

Thank you for continuing to share your creativity. I enjoy your work. This is definitely Stampin Up's loss.

So sorry to hear that you had to leave SU because I am a demonstrator and I do only use SU because I cannot afford to buy SU and other products. I am a hobbyist also although I would love to be successful....I am not as talented as you, of course, but I love getting ideas from blogs that I could use my supplies I buy. When I see other products used its hard for me to invision what I could use with SU to match: stamps I mean...embellishment I can do...LOL

I wish you luck in all you do and for the person who reported you....don't you have anything better to do than police for SU? Shame on you!

Inky Hugs,
Terry~~

So sad that people feel they have to dob someone in!!! I love your work and hope to see more creativity in your future. SU is but a small part of the big picture. I hope the sadness of this leaves you very soon!!
