About Michelle

What do talcum powder and volcanos have in common? They both erupt into a gorgeous mess and so do I. Anyone who knows me, knows my love for getting messy. I love to dabble with media and experiment with anything in my reach. As a child, I would mix water, food coloring and talcum powder to make eyeshadow. As I grew, I learned to knit, sewed my own clothes and started my own successful catering company before the age of 16. Later, I entered the corporate world and still found time to feed my creative side. I began my current path in 1995 following a trip to Costa Rica. I went to view the Arenal Volcano, only to discover it was hidden by clouds. Returning home, I decided to put my photos in an album and when I realized I didn’t have any pictures of the volcano, I searched the internet to see what I could find. Lo and behold, I stumbled across the world of scrapbooking and rubber stamping. It was my introduction to this new world and I haven’t looked back since! I am a Copic and Ranger Certified Educator. Before owning “Everything Scrapbook & Stamps” in West Palm Beach, Florida, I traveled extensively worldwide and loved to collect unusual items to incorporate into my art. Born and raised in England, I currently reside in Florida with my husband and two rascally parrots.

Candle Delight

This is a stunning tag up close if I do say myself :)  I can’t get a good photo of the background.  I used Delicata ink and it just shimmers.  I used Beeswax on the candles and I love using beeswax on anything!  I think if you click on this photo you can see the gold in the background better.

Tag 2 – Florida Christmas

December 2nd – Florida Christmas

I had so much fun with this one.  It is very tropical here in Florida and it is hard for me to feel like it is Christmas so it was very appropriate to have a pink Christmas Tree.
