Carla
I'm an art teacher originally from New York State and now retired,
living in Florida. For many years I have experimented with several areas
of creativity. Ever since I was a child, I have enjoyed sewing my own
clothes and making designer outfits for my dolls. I love to pick out the
little details that will make my clothing or vintage costumes and hand
painted jeans look unique.
For several years my husband and I
covered arts and entertainment as correspondents for a local newspaper. I
enjoyed participating in special events such as the Menendez Birthday
Festival, which took place in St. Augustine. For that event I dressed in
a 16th century Spanish wardrobe of my own design. I’ve enjoyed the
theater arts so much that eventually I tried out and won parts in four
local productions including “Grease," “Oliver,” "Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dream Coat” and “Cabaret." I worked as a scrapbook
instructor and paper crafting teacher for a year at Michaels, where I
learned many new techniques and used a lot of great new tools! I'm
currently designing scrapbook pages (scrapping photos of my
grandchildren is a great enjoyment), making cards and working on altered
canvas and all kinds of boxes. My art work is for sale locally and has
been published in a few magazine. I received an honorable mention to a
piece I created using an image from Aurora Wings. For the latest stop on
my journey, I take part in designing cards for challenges and belong to
several design teams.
I love working with cute images
and enjoy putting them in scenes. I generally don't use a lot of
embellishments. My focus is on the main image. My go to medium has been
colored pencils, but I just began working with Copic Markers and I am
loving them. I do enjoy trying out new mediums and techniques. Lately I
have been playing with gelatos. Life right now is full and busy
designing and coloring lots of greeting cards.
Veronique
My name is Veronique I'm 36 years old and I live in The Netherlands with my husband, our 10 year old son and our dog named Odie.
I
started crafting as a kid with my mom and my grandma. They teached me
how to knitt and do embroidery. I started making Christmas cards with my
mom. Later this evolved in making 3D cards.I stopped crafting when my
son was born.But started again 5 years ago when my husband lost his job,
just to releave some stress. I followed some courses and discoverd
stamping and colouring..And I remembered again why I loved crafting so
mutch!
My
favorite mediums are.... I really can't pick one.. I love evrything
with colouring and paper! But I use my pencils and markers a lot.I just
started with copics and loving it!Other mediums I use are: panpastel,
distress ink ,Inka gold watercolour markers etc...I'm what you might
call a "crazy" colouring lady.
My style is clean and simple because I don't like it when an image is'nt the focus of the card.
Please link up your entries below. We are looking forward to seeing your projects.
Good Luck and Thank you for joining us.
