My name is Michele.  I am a lifelong artist and crafter.   I am very interested in Art; especially Mixed Media, Assemblage, Collage, Altered Art, Stamping, and most paper crafts. I also enjoy creating and working with digital designs.  I love anything that allows me to be creative and to work with my hands.  I've dabbled in almost every art/craft there is, but my favorite is working with paper.  I've been using collage sheets since 2007.  I love to use them for greeting cards, scrapbook layouts, and assemblages (especially mixed media jewelry and decorated memory/treasure boxes).  My favorites are vintage images from old books.  I love the elegance and creativity that went into illustrating books in the 1700's, 1800's and  early 1900's.  Flourishes,  cherubs,  and  floral  designs appeal to me most, although I enjoy  working  with  any  theme.    I  enjoy sharing ideas  and techniques with fellow artists/crafters and I hope that my creations will inspire others to use collage sheets and digital stamps for their artwork.  Several of my designs are in private collections all over the world.  I am honored that my designs have been featured in The Rubber Stamper, Technique Junkies,   Pennywise  Arts,  Gingersnap Creations, The Heart Collective, ZNE, and  in  several  other  studios and on websites/blogs.

My name is Jessica and I am renown in my passion for pink.  I dabble in YouTube, Blogging, Etsy, and never-goes-out-of-style Snail Mail!  Ever since I could lick a stamp, writing letters has been my most meaningful hobby, and it’s no small coincidence that I love crafting in all forms of paper.  As a little girl, growing up in Hawaii, I can recall that I was a stationery freak.  I loved to assemble little packets of papers, pens and stickers and sell them to the neighborhood kids.  The love of stationary carried on throughout my life.  I have gone from collecting and selling stationary to becoming more creative in making cards for every and any occasion as well as creating my very own stationary.   I enjoy  giving  them  out  on special occasions or trading my creations with others that share the same passions as I do. I also make jewelry, hair bows and clips, personalized photo albums and the list goes on.  I have had the opportunity to teach my crafting to others and enjoy that a great deal.  It is so wonderful to be in touch with my creative nature and to share it with the world.
