A Bit About Me

My name is Samantha. I am, first and foremost, a mother to two beautiful daughters, and partner to an amazing man and father. I am also a full time elementary teacher with a background in early childhood education.

While Parchment Creation Co is a one woman operation on paper, it is definitely not a one woman show in reality. My family is always there for me. They help when I need help, and support me in every way, especially when I decide to start a small business on a whim. They are my reason for everything, and my biggest supporters.

How It Started

I have been a self-taught cookie decorator for more than 10 years. After exploring new techniques and trying out new skills, I came across the parchment technique. I instantly fell in love with it! After finding it difficult to source Canadian made parchments in designs that I wanted, I started to play around with making my own. I first made embossed parchment sheets to use for my eldest daughter's second birthday to create a burlap texture. After months of trial and error, I decided to bring what I had learned to the public.

I have no idea where this will lead or how far I will go, but I am here for the ride. Join me in this crazy journey. Help me learn from mistakes and failures, and help me celebrate the wins, no matter how small.
