MY CARDS AND ALTERED ART

I have a passion for vintage cards, collage, and altered art. Although I've been crafting all my life, it wasn't until about 10 years ago that I took my hobbies seriously - creating vintage inspired greeting cards for myself, and subsequently offering my creations to others. I love creating things that are just a little bit different. I try to blend vintage, retro, and unusual themes with humor and surprise elements. In addition to the varied projects seen in my photos, I've also dabbled in ACEO's, art-squared collage, mosaics and stained glass.

MY VINTAGE ADDICTION

I love everything vintage, and the excitement of the hunt. I search, I find, I enjoy. Then I move on. Oh, there are a few treasures that I'll probably keep forever, but for the most part, I'll eventually turn them over to someone else to enjoy. Before I moved to Nevada from Western New York I sold my vintage wares at local flea markets every weekend. Garage sales were a weekly tradition where I could find wonderful antiques and older collectibles. Now that I've moved to the sunny southwest I travel around to the three or four thrift stores on a weekly basis, and sometimes I get lucky.
