About the Instructor:
Hi, I’m Darla!
I’m blessed to call beautiful Northern California home, where I’ve been happily married for 32 years and am a proud mother of seven amazing kids. My passion for paper crafting led me to become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in 2010, and I absolutely love creating, teaching, and sharing new techniques. I also run Scrap Happens Retreats, where I bring fellow scrapbookers together for creativity and connection.
Beyond crafting, I enjoy hiking, bicycling, gardening, and cooking—always embracing the joy in life. My faith in Jesus guides me every day, and I’m grateful for every moment. Living life to the fullest and loving every bit of it!
