How long have you
been paper crafting?
Around 10 or 12 years ago I began playing with paper. I
remember a friend asking me to come over to scrapbook and I thought “how
boring”. Wow, how wrong was I!!!!
What is your
favorite kind of projects to do?
The projects that I enjoy most are multi-dimensional. I like
creating altered art, wall hangings , and other 3D items. Card making is also a joy. It’s what I do to
get away from it all and relax.
In the industry
who do you most admire and why?
When I think of all
the “Paper Crafting Stars” I don’t have one that stands out above another. The creativity that goes into making a line
of product is mind boggling. I admire the entire team that sees to the product
from designing to delivery. I must say that I do have a great admiration for
the women who have stepped out and become leaders in the industry.
What brands
(besides Gecko Galz) do you enjoy working with?
I love my Tim Holtz Vagabond and the Spellbinder dies. I think Maja Design and Pion paper are
gorgeous and perfect for Shabby Chic.
What is the one
thing in your crafting tote that you cannot live without?
What can I not live without…it has to be my tweezers. I use
them constantly.
Where have you been
published?
I’ve been published in Flying Unicorn’s Digital Magazine.
What is the best thing about being on the
Gecko Galz Design team?
Okay, this is not a fair question, how can you put “the”
best thing when there are so many! I
love working with Leanne, she is creative, patient, and a great business
woman. Getting to work with Gecko Galz
products is a dream, the images are amazing with endless uses and I can’t stop
without saying what a joy it is to design with such incredible women. Their
creative talents are amazing!
My favorite scrapbook shop, Impressive Ideas, is in Roswell,
GA. It is locally owned and when I walk
in I feel like I’ve gone home! Love it!

How would you
describe your crafting style?
Evolving. I love many styles but two stand out to me, Shabby
Chic, it makes me feel girly, and altered art because it gets my heart pumping.
I get excited about projects that I can change an object into something different and new.
If you could have
a job in the crafting world what would it be and why?
To be an artist where my only job was to create would be my
dream job. I would love to work with
many different mediums and have many projects going at one time. I love
painting with oil but I also like to get my hands on paper, cloth and
medal. I’m afraid that someone else
would have to keep the business running, that’s not where my talents lie!

Any last words for
our friends and followers?
Just a couple of thoughts, try to keep a journal or write on
your scrapbook pages or other creations so not only you, but family members
will know what and who you are featuring, future generations will love your
information more than you know.
Secondly, enjoy what you are doing. Find your
style or styles and have fun creating memories.
