Before I became a serious card maker, I earned a bachelor's degree in Mass Communication and spent many years designing newsletters, membership directories, promotional materials and writing press releases.
Now, I'm using those skills to further develop my paper crafting hobby!
Some quick notes:
- I'm on the design teams for the colourQ and Drunken Stampers challenge blogs!
- I'll be featured as the May 2012 guest designer at Christmas Card Challenges! I hope you'll stop by and play along with us!
- I completed Standard Copic certification in April 2012, and plan to complete the Intermediate Copic Certification this fall.
- I had several cards published in the April/May edition of Designed to Color, a new e-magazine that showcases cards and projects colored with Copics, pencils, ProMarkers, or other techniques and materials. One of my cards also made the cover (the one on the bottom right)!

(My other two cards are on pages 20 and 28.)
- I'm a former member of the Unscripted Sketches design team and the Karber Stamps preview team at Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps. I also served as SCRS's Newsletter Coordinator from May 2011 to December 2011 and was their guest designer in April 2011. I was also a member of the Flutter By Wednesdays Design Team from January - April 2012.
So, if you're looking for a guest designer for your weekly challenge blog or for your company, please let me know! I'd be happy to discuss the opportunity with you by e-mail at sparklingscrapper at hotmail dot com.
Thanks so much!
