About Me

Hello~ I'm what friends and family call creative! My husband , on the other hand, calls it obsessive lol! I live in the U.S. with my autistic child and husband. Crafting for me is more than a passion, it's an extension of who I am. I'm an artist, illustrator, Die Designer, Product Developer and even an accountant. I love being in my happy . . .comfy . . and creative place. I am here to share and always inspire and I believe that everyone should be able to afford reliable and adorable products to help them find their JOY in crafting! Stay Crafty,

Wild Orchid Crafts DT call!

Wild Orchid Crafts DT Call

I'm going to throw myself out there and apply for the opportunity to design greeting cards for the most phenomenal flower production company I've ever found!  I love using this product and the sale of my greeting art in both the retail vendors and the craft sales have increased significantly with the use of their embellishments!  So here goes:

From the first day 12-17-2010 that I started my blog, my main goal has been to share what I know, what others are giving and to inspire!

Wild Orchid Crafts DT Call

The trouble is I'm so new to blogging even though I've made cards for more than 10 years, and everything is created with new card designs and stamping images both rubber and digital.  Copic is new to me as the water color was my most used technique.  All of the following are my favorite projects from 2011!   I have had 2 retail stores for years and have just obtained 3 more recently that have special design needs and product so I am looking to increase my finished product even faster and designing for inspiration is great incentive!  I am a stay home mom in Michigan and have found my heart in paper crafting and sharing!  I've decided to grab some of the pics, post them here with links attached and maybe they will find me a position on this fabulous team.

Maybe now you can see why it would be impossible for me to choose! Besides, I think you want to see techniques and styles and my actual favorite is the one I made for my parents anniversary! Which was just a nicely done regular card that I find grand because of the sentimental value!

All of these are items I sell at craft sales and in my Vendor retail stores so there is a HUGE variety of styles, occassions, and genres. I have a lot more to learn, I have no hesitation sharing and I truly love this crafting.

The photos above are linked to the posts, my home page is available on the daisy link above. I never have enough inventory for my craft sales and vendors so the more I make the better!
I am a stay home mom of an autistic child, married 24 years to my high school sweetheart, and I live in Michigan. Thank you Wild Orchid Crafts for the opportunity! I hope you have enjoyed my work! As I always leave with this:

INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
