Scrapbooks-N-More

12/31/2017

I began Scrapbooking in 2008 purely by accident. You can read that story on the About Us Page.  Over the years I have developed more art skills and perfected more embellishment techniques to enhance not only the quality of my designs but add a broader array of ideas and art.  In the beginning I only used store bought embellishments, then I discovered Cricut® and Sizzix®.   Wow!  What a change that made.  So much so my partner invested in most of the Cricut® cartridges that were available at the time (2009).  You do the math. A lot Right?  Next came Silohuette®, Pazzles®, Sizzix® , the newer Cricuts® as they were released and the king of them all the Silver Bullitt 24 inch"®.  I have them all and I use them all for different materials.

Through the years I developed my art skills for coloring, painting, rubber stamping, adding textures such as foils, embossing powders, inks, mists and pastes.  I was so invested in this hobby we built a 12x22ft craft room lined with thirty one 6ft cabinets for supplies, 3 craft tables, 4 printers,  a touch smart computer, a photography studio, painting easel and an air hose system for airbrush painting.   Within 5 years I  had accumulated more craft supplies than Hobby Lobby or Michael's carries and was able to start my own business.

My specialty became one of a kind custom designed greeting cards and one of a kind packaged Christmas cards.  Last Christmas season I developed a Christmas card package of 6 unique designs per pack.  What a hit.  I sold out in 2 weeks.  My favorite task is scrapbooking.  I love hearing the stories that go with the pictures I  use to build the pages.

I have so much fun with paper crafting, I lose track of time.  I bet there are many of you who do the same if you love paper crafting.
