Hi, I’m Melissa!
I am a seeker of that crazy, excited feeling that comes when you've created something that’s unique, beautiful and expresses who you are in some small way. It’s like making a new discovery, when you find a unique combination of color, layout, dimension and texture. I call it a creative spark and it makes me giddy! Through sharing and teaching I hope to help others find this amazing feeling of creative bliss!
Tutorials & Classes
I love teaching people about the art of paper crafting whether it's in person or from afar, through the written word or through video! No matter how simple or complex the project, my tutorials and Classes-To-Go will make the process fun and easy to understand! Come learn with me and explore your creative potential!
Testimonial:
I was a little unsure about the techniques but I'm so glad I took this class. This is usually not my style but the way you presented left a lot of room for us to do as much or as little to embellish. You are a phenomenal instructor!

I just finished my first tarnished foil card. Thanks to you, I am proud of it! It wasn’t perfect, with a bit too much black Staz-On in one little place, but I loved it. Your set of papers, perfectly cut, and the excellent video helped so much.

Creative, encouraging, and patient are three words that come to mind when I think of your classes. Through your instructions, new techniques are introduced and people are guided to mastery. Card-making moves from a craft to an art form. Thanks for all the wonderful classes!!!
