I love to be creative and just let the process happen. When I need help getting the creative juices flowing, I will use a kit to help. Sometimes I will follow the instructions and sometimes I just look at the picture and go from there.
Everyone draws inspiration from the world around them, and I hope my work inspires you to be creative.

I have been using Copic markers for over 8 years now. I have enjoyed attending several of Jennifer Dove's Copic bootcamps and have learned so much but even more so met many wonderful people from all over the world.
I love to color images and use the images to create cards. Since the markers are alcohol based, I can also use to color on metal, glass, fabric so versatile.
I began my scrapbooking adventure over 15 years ago. I have made too many albums to count. I do not have any particular style or favor one company's product over another. I'm more of an eclectic type.
I started doing cards about 10 years ago, and have not bought a card from a store since then. It's a great way to use up all those scraps. Plus it is fun to create a card specific to the recipient.
I have messy with mixed media for around 5 years. I had seen several different styles of mixed media and thought it was just beautiful. Since then I have paint, cloth, paper, wood and miscellaneous objects to create one of a kind gifts and decor.
I have also used it on scrapbook pages, and incorporated some colored images into my art.
The Epson PM-400 feels like having a tiny art studio at my fingertips. It prints in dreamy sizes—5x7, 4x6, even charming little 3.5x5s. I can play with various layouts, collage prints as tiny 1x1 squares, or journal right onto the photo with built-in text boxes.
It’s light enough to travel with me, but powerful enough to turn moments into keepsakes. I especially love the unique background patterns that frame my images in something more soulful than plain white—no extra paper needed, just extra magic..
