About Me

Where to start... I love everything crafty! Art has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I decided to go to college for Graphic Design and now I've found a way to make art my career. I spend a lot of my free time scrapbooking and card making.

I started this page as a place for my customers & friends to find inspiration as well as tutorials. All items shown here are made with materials from Stampin’ Up!© and are original ideas unless otherwise noted. I try my hardest to give credit where credit is due and ask the same in return! Thanks for taking the time to look!

My Interests


Project of the week!

It's that time of year.... babies and baseball! I made this card for a friend who is expecting his first child. I'm sure the new little one is going to love baseball just as much as dad. Canvas background and Baby Talk stamp set, used with Real Red, Brocade Blue and Whisper White paper, give this card an All-American feel. Faux stitching, white narrow organdy, some water color perncils and blender pens round off the effects. A little dab of Crystal Effectsâ„¢ on that baseball to really make it stand out. Hopefully it will be a "hit"!

This is a simple scrapbook layout that I came up with to help beginners learn what they can do with ink and stamps. I used different types of inks and varied techniques to ink the stamps; our Classic® and Craft® inks, StâzOn® solvent ink, as well as out Stampin' Write® Markers. Punched out, stamped images can easily become embellishments for your scrapbook pages! Ask me for more info!
