2020 Event Canceled

Due to COVID-19 and the orders put in place by the Governor of Oregon, we have to cancel this year's event. We are concerned for the well being of our volunteers, demonstrators, and participants. We were not able to find a suitable date later in the year so we decided to cancel rather than postpone. We plan to resume our event next year. Our tentative date is April 10. We hope you will join us at that time. Since this is the only fundraiser for the food bank, if you are willing and able to make a donation you can by clicking the Donate button below or by sending a check directly to our treasurer. Even just the admission fee of $10 will help a great deal!

Please make checks payable to:
LSOH or Let's Stamp Out Hunger

Send donation checks to:

    Susan is heavily involved in our community. She volunteers for several committees and boards in addition to being a member of the Let’s Stamp Out Hunger planning board. A retired teacher, Susan purchased a raffle prize to learn card making from a local crafter three years ago, and she was quickly hooked.

    Tami Gandy

    Tami Gandy lives in Seaside and got hooked on cardmaking by going to Lynn Hoth’s house to "play" one day. From that day forward she has stocked up on supplies for her crafty side. She loves to craft with others and attends classes and events to learn new techniques.

    Lynn Hoth

    Lynn has been making cards since the early ‘80s and has amassed quite a collection of stamps, dies, and papers. In fact, her collection rivals that of most stamp or scrapbook stores. She enjoys it because, “It’s fun!”

    Debra Jones

    Debra Jones is multimedia artist from the Columbia River Gorge area and is excited to be part of WHP Fun Friday where she meets the last Friday of every month to craft with others. She is a new addition to our team of demonstrators this year.

    Pam Petrie

    Pam Petrie lives in Hillsboro, Oregon, and first came into paper crafting after taking a class from a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. She is enjoying her new paper crafting hobby and is quickly growing a stash of supplies to fuel her creativity.

    Nickie Piippo

    Nickie Piippo is a lover of all paper arts and tries to play with all of them. She is the former owner of Paper Moon Rubber Stamps in Astoria, Oregon. Her workshops are often more edgy than most, setting her apart from our other artists as she doesn’t “do cute.”

    Ann Pilger

    Ann Pilger lives in Seaside, Oregon, and belongs to a monthly card club in Astoria as well as the Beach Biddies, and Sew and So’s in Seaside and the Sou’Wester Garden Club. She has been a regular contributor to LSOH for the last four years.

    Wanda Riley

    Wanda Riley lives in Warrenton, Oregon and is a banker by day and a crafter by night who holds classes in her home where she teaches card-making, scrapbooking, and how to use the Cricut. She designs and teaches a Christmas Card class nearly every year.

    Becky Schoelich

    Becky Schoelich was immediately hooked on paper crafting in 1991 when she took a $10 class at a neighborhood stamp store. She started teaching classes when she signed up to be a Close To My Heart consultant in 1999.


    Melissa Tennison

    Melissa Tennison lives in McMinnville, Oregon and has been a Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrator on and off since 2007. She shares her love for paper crafting projects on her Website and posts video tutorials on her YouTube channel.

    Trisha White

    Trisha White is a well-known local artist, teacher and card maker. She has taught locally and in the Portland Metro area for several years. She is a Certified Copic Instructor, the owner of Crane Island Comforts and maintains a blog and Etsy shop.

    Cindy Young

    Cindy Young is the owner of Young at Heart Paper Crafting in Astoria and a former Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. Cindy has been working with paper crafts for over ten years. She holds four card making classes every Wednesday at her shop.
