Passport to Creativity

I am honored and thrilled to be featured in the Fall 2018 issue of Creative Scrapbooker, a paper crafting magazine from Canada. 


Along with Gina Krupsky, owner of Gina K. Designs, I am included in the Passport to Creativity section.


The feature includes some Q & A, such as the three tools I cannot live without (gesso, acrylic paint, cheap chip paint brushes), my favorite product (PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic), and my inspirations (everything out my door in NYC and all the experiences on my travels online and in real life).

And the following 3 pieces of art are included as well.

I had the pleasure to have met and spent time with the crew behind this publication at the AFCI trade show this past January. They are every bit as nice and fun as they are talented.

EC BT EP week at PA

Last week was EC BT EP week at PA. That translates to a week of guest artists postings on the PaperArtsy blog sharing artwork and techniques using my Baked Texture embossing powders from Emerald Creek.


The week started off with an introductory post, which included three demonstration videos and some examples of artwork made with the different powders - including this incredible piece made by Barbarayaya


A different artist and technique was then featured on all the subsequent posts. Click over for details. step-outs, techniques and many more pictures.

Get Wrapped, Baked, and Painted!

There is nothing I like more than a good collaboration and today I am over-the-moon excited to join forces with Emerald Creek, PaperArtsy and Eileen Hull to bring you the Get Wrapped Blog Hop. 



This online hop highlights artwork from a large number of artists who have created magic using Eileen's Wrapped Journal die, my paints from PaperArtsy and Baked Texture and other embossing powders from Emerald Creek. 

I love the spirit of inclusion here, with multiple companies - from Canada, the UK and the USA -working together. And artists from all three countries as well. These artists were encouraged to go their own way and to use any other products from any other companies that they choose.

Be inspired, learn new techniques, and celebrate the collective talent in this group! Hop along and make sure to check out each and every post. You don't want to miss a thing!
