*Release a book
*Release background papers line
*Design, Travel & Teach
To continue being published in industry magazines, release my own book and paper line, design for manufacturers and travel to teach classes at conventions and trade shows. I have designed a line of scrapbook papers and reinvented a few found items that have been successful in the scrapbook industry. My paper design, Jessica's Blanket was featured on DIY Network Scrapbook Segement SCB-504.
Styles & Techniques:
I have no restrictions of style and technique; I enjoy many different styles of scrapbook and rubberstamping art, from artistic to graphic, bold and clean and everything in between. If I had to pick a favorite, I’d say I’m a technique junkie—I love to play and experiment with new mediums and products and I enjoy being challenged.
