1. What is your favorite type of paper crafting project to make?

It's so satisfying to start and finish something in one sitting — that's why I really love making cards. It's unlike other crafting projects in this way!

2. What year did you start paper crafting as a hobby?

2012.

3. What's the one craft product you can't live without?

VersaMark ink! I love the subtle dimension it adds when used alone on colored card stock. I think I use it on almost every card I make!

4. What are you passionate about personally? What do you really enjoy?

Volunteering and philanthropy energize my mind and spirit — I truly get the most joy from helping others.

5. Describe your studio in three words:

Happy little place.

6. What is the best reaction you've ever heard from a visitor to your craft studio?

I think the best reactions are the ones that validate my goal to keep it a multi-use space. I love when people are surprised at how well I can ‘hide’ or showcase what I have!

7. What other paper crafters have inspired you over the years?

I mainly follow other stampers on Instagram, so I only know them by their usernames! A few I particularly enjoy are Schalking, lakeshorestamping, pinkbuckaroo, and all of the Artisan Design Team members.

8. How would you describe your project design style?

I can't really pin down one style. I think it really depends on what I'm inspired by.

9. What is your favorite color?

Purple.

10. What other hobbies do you have?

Sewing, quilting, running (it's a love/hate relationship), and snowboarding.

11. Can you settle the intense internet debate: should paper be stored vertically or horizontally?

I prefer to store my paper horizontally. :)

12. What was the best part of the Stamp-n-Storage visit to your studio?

I was thrilled to see the cameras and lights in my space — and being mic'd up was pretty cool, too!
