It all started with a Passion for Paper….
From an early age I would collect paper. I was fascinated with the texture, color and even the weight of all the different varieties. Running my fingers gently over the bumps of an embossed card or marveling at the endless amount of colors to choose from would leave me in awe.
Then one day my enjoyment became an obsession. On a family skiing trip I discovered a store that sold card stock by the pound – It was even better than candy for me ( and I love candy!).
As I got older I was constantly searching for that special card or gift to give as a present that reflected my passion for paper. Never to find the right card in the rows and rows of commercial cards. Or the treasured handmade gift that would become the bearers keepsake. The sentiments were there – but the cold feeling of factory produced items never felt right. I wanted uniqueness and something that might only be created one time.
I was part of the scrapbooking craze with all the tools and the techniques with it, but I never ventured to use those tools for anything else until one card making party later – I was hooked.
For each Design I experiment with different media to enhance what I am working on. To add dimension that completely differentiates from the factory produced item you see in so many stores. I want the handler to see a pop of colors, to be able to touch the card and feel different textures. I strive to be as original as possible and to let the sentiments that you place in each item match the item itself.
