Welcome to our guestdesigner of the month April: Karen Taylor!
My name is Karen Taylor and I live in Bolivar, Missouri in the US. I am married to the love of my life, Andy.
I am the proud mother of two grown children,
Douglas who lives here in Bolivar and Jessie and her husband Marc who live just outside Savannah, Ga.
We are thankful that Marc return home safe from an 18 month tour in Iraq
just about a year ago. That brings me to my new title of grandmother. Jessie and Marc welcomed Marcus Andrew “Drew” into this world just over a month ago and we could not be more proud!
Creating has always been a part of my life. I was raised by my
grandmother who taught me the love of creating.
One of my favorite past times, as a child was to sit with grandma looking at her wonderful 1930's scrapbooks. The bits of vintage tissue paper, the black and white photos, the handmade invitations to a dance, they all fascinated me so much that I think sadly my little hands did more damage to her scrapbooks from countless hours on end that I sat and turned each of those magical pages than any of the items not being "archival safe".
My toys as a child were tins of old buttons and trims, bags of fabric scraps and bits of old paper.
I was in heaven. Those first toys of mine often come out in my scrapbooking and other paper crafts.
When I am at home you can find me in my studio. I love to create very special layouts, my mini pieces of art.
There have been times in my life when I just did not feel content; I realized it was then that I was not creating. I look forward to sitting down in the years to come with Drew and opening his eyes to what can be created.
I currently am on Spellbinders Design team and Shimmerz.
