Spotlight Sunday

Welcome to Spotlight Sunday!Today we have a “fantabulously” talented lady from and tomorrow’s Challenge Me Monday Guest Designer! (and now a new design team member :)Let me introduce to you to Carissa from Happily Ever Paper Crafter.

You may recognize this project from Challenge Me Monday challenge #67 Pool Time.

Carissa was one of our Top 5 picks for this challenge.

Before we show you some of Carissa’s other incredible creations we thought you would like to get to know her a little better. We asked her a few crafty questions.

1. When did you start scrapbooking/paper crafting? Why?

I have been a crafter all my life in some form or another. I started “paper” crafting in 2004 when I went to my first Stampin Up party. I was soo hooked on those stamps and ink. After that I couldn’t stop buying stuff. I live 5 minutes from Hobby Lobby and all that paper and embellishments just found their way home! I got my Cricut Expression this past Christmas from my mom. I got hooked all over again and haven’t stopped cutting since!

2. What is your favorite type of project to make?

I love making cards, mini-albums and altered home décor projects the most. I am always trying to keep up with cards to send out and gifts to give.

3. What is your favorite product to use on your projects?

I have learned that good quality paper can really make a project shine. And to make it sparkle, well you have to add bling. I love rhinestone bling and use it in almost all my projects!

4. What is your favorite Cricut cartridge?

Hardest question ever! My top 3 are A Child’s Year, Paper Lace, and Create a Critter. Ask me tomorrow and it might be different!

5. What do you do in your spare time, when you are not paper crafting?

I have two great jobs when I’m not crafting. I am a mother of two adorable kiddos, a boy and girl. They keep me very busy! I also work as a medical nurse at a big hospital downtown. I have worked there for over 8 years and I still love it! I work with the best nurses ever!

6. Any other info you would like us to know about you.

I love using my Gypsy to alter cuts and images to fit just what I need. I don’t know what I would ever do without it!

I would like to thank my family; my mother, my husband, my kiddos, and my siblings, who are all very supportive of my crafting OBSESSION! They support my blog and are always asking “Whatcha working on now?” Love you guys!
