Donna

Hi, I'm Donna, and I've been making cards for five years now. I started out making a scrapbook of our dog and ended up making cards. I also started up my own digital papers shop, and that's been going for 6 years now.

As with most crafters, I have a large collection of die, markers, papers, cardstock, flowers, embellishments. I love adding as much as I can to a card, the fuller the better. I love working with both digital and rubber stamps. I like the digital stamps for being able to resize them to what you want for a craft project, and I love the rubber stamps just for the fact I can collect them....lol
