The Story So Far

My interests have always been to make something. I paint, draw, sew, crochet, scrapbook, stitch and die cut every chance I get. I spend a lot of time making things.

My earliest memory is watching my mother sew on the sewing machine and wishing I were tall enough to reach the pedal. When I was finally tall enough to use the sewing machine, I made a stuffed llama out of green remnants (seriously, a green llama that I probably still have somewhere).

I went on to earn a BA degree in Graphic Design and designed advertising, books and packaging. During my career as a graphic designer I’ve always crafted as a hobby. Scrapbooking was my obsession of choice.

With great good fortune, I became a graphic designer at Ellison/Sizzix. At first, I designed their packaging, catalogs and advertising. Eventually I became a Product Designer and had the time of my life!

My next chapter came when I was given the opportunity to design for i-crafter. It was a wonderful experience but I decided to move on due to Covid.

What’s Next?

My next chapter has now begun as a licensed designer for Trinity Stamps. And the best part is that I have time to create more projects and teach others new techniques here on this blog. I’m so much more than a paper crafter so watch for projects using fabric, mixed media and anything else I can find.

Please join me as I share this happy adventure of living a creative life!
