Here's a little bit about Karen, in her own words:
"My crafty life began around 20 years ago when my oldest son was born. I started to scrapbook then just so I wouldn't miss any moments. Those simple, silly scrapbooks filled with pictures, stickers and glitter are still some of my favorites. I did scrapbooking for quite a few years.....but it wasn't until about 8 years ago when I went to a card class with my dear friend and craft mentor, Sharon, that my crafts took on a new dimension. I don't use stickers anymore....instead, I'm hooked on stamps, twine, cool/funky paper, stickles, paint, chipboard, markers, and (of course) 3 Girl Jam Crinkle Ribbon. As for my non-crafty life, I'm a happily-second-time-around married mom of four wonderful young men. They are all 18 and 19 years old. (Two are my husbands and two are mine...) I manage arts departments at a local university, so most of my days are filled with ledgers, position descriptions, and meetings. When I'm not crafting in the evenings or on weekends, my dear husband and I spend a lot of time on our boat on the Sacramento River. He fishes; I read. It works out well."
And here's her fantastic project, using ribbons from the Seasons, Baby, and Harvest bundles.
Wow! Isn't it gorgeous? I love the colors on this and the dimension! From the chipboard to the flowers to the ribbon -- swoon!
