"I am married to an amazing man, and my biggest supporter. We have four children, yes four! I work full time as a church secretary. I have been stamping for over 15 years. Creativity is my outlet, passion and purpose. I define my style as grunge meets elegance.
Though I love to distress everything, I like to balance my work with a touch of pretty and neat. In addition to stamping, I love to draw and paint and have found that mixed media allows me to blend these skills and create rich artwork, filled with depth and texture."
"I'm so pleased to be creating alongside of this fabulous team for the Going Round in Circles challenge. I decided to do a good old fashioned upcycling project and created a Christmas ornament from a jar candle lid. I adhered a circle of burlap paper inside the jar, then glued jute twine around the seam. I adhered more braided jute trim along the rim.
I embossed a pattern with tinsel embossing powder onto the burlap, then layered my elements for dimension. I used Tim's photo booth images as a special nod to motherhood. I mixed a couple of Tim's pine bough dies with a festive Prima flower. This very simple project would be an easy one for you to recreate for your holiday gifts. Thanks again to the Frilly & Funkie team for having me today!"
