About Me

Hi! I’m Kim McGillis, the Founder and Designer of  Kim McGillis Papercrafting. Welcome to my blog!

I am a Canadian Designer. I speak English and French. I wish I could speak Dutch, as my mother was born in Holland.

I have been a Stampin’up! demonstrator for Seventeen amazing years.  Over the years, my journey as a demonstrator has attained different levels.  I initially joined for the discount, met numerous new friends through my classes, workshops and Stampin’up events which led me to many accomplishments; these include ranking#3 demonstrator of the year in Canada and being a Founder’s Circle member in 2011, earning  the 2012 Walt Disney Trip, the 2011 and 2018 Alaska cruise and the 2010 Southern Caribbean Cruise.  My favorite achievement was winning the workshop of a lifetime recruiting challenge in 2010; welcoming in my home the co founder  and CEO, Shelli Gardner and her daughter Sara Douglass,who is  the present CEO, was a blessing.  I will treasure those memories forever.  I was nominated to represent the 2018 Artisan Design Team.  I was one of two Canadians that was part of 16 demonstrators worldwide.  I was so grateful for this new opportunity!

I am married to the love of my life, Chris. He is my rock and I am truly blessed that he has crossed my path. My daughters and I are truly grateful for his presence in our lives.

I have 3 beautiful daughters Megan 23, Lauren 22 and Jordan 18.

 

My crafting style is vintage chic with a dash of softness!  I’ve always been drawn to Stampin’up!’s products that include lace, pearls and vintage stamp sets.  If you would like crafting inspiration, please follow my blog.  There are many reasons to attend one of my stamping events, host a crafting party or even join my team.  Contact me to get your free information packets.
