How it all began…

Hello my name is Alice Carman and I love to make cards! My journey started about 8 years ago at a local stamp store down the block from my home. At first I wasn’t sure what I just walked in to. There were stamps, paper, stickers, markers, glue, glitter and lots of other interesting items hanging on displays. I took another glance and for a brief moment I froze and zoomed in to look at THE most BEAUTIFUL card I have ever laid eyes on. There was a butterfly made of feathers with glittery effects that shimmered motionlessly and at that moment I asked myself can I do that? Of course it took awhile for me to find my own style, but with some loving persuasive friends I found a calling. Since then I have been designing and teaching card making at a local scrapbook store. Creating Cards for me is a hobby that encompasses many of my interests – Paper, Stickers, Stamps, Ribbon, Brads and Buttons; all the ingredients to making the perfect recipe of cards. My name is Alice Carman and I love card making!

Hi, my name is Melanie,
i love to make cards too. I started doing it when I was going through a divorce and needed something to keep me busy. In 2004 I found out that my dad had cancer, that’s when I really got into card making…I love to do it and see the reactions I get from my family and friends when I send them one of my handmade cards. I teach Iris folding to my kids classes and whoever wants to learn…but I don’t just do Iris folding….I am a very crafty person. It’s neat to see other peoples ideas, creativity, and the results.
