I love getting creative and letting the process do its thing—no overthinking allowed. When my creative juices need a nudge, I’ll grab a kit… sometimes I follow the instructions, and sometimes I toss them aside and do my own thing. Inspiration is everywhere, and I hope my work gives you the confidence to get creative and make it your way.

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. All of the images above were created on the Epson PM 400 Photo Printer.
