From Karen:

"Born and raised in Arkansas, my husband and I have 2 small children, Anna Claire (4) and Jackson (2). We both have been blessed with the ability to work and raise our children from home. I began college as an art major but soon found my passion to be in the world of paper crafts. I have been scrapping since the mid 80’s. those books are more of an art journal with pictures. In the early 90’s I was introduced to rubber stamping and card making. I am truly addicted to both!

"I have been fortunate enough to have layouts published in both Scrapbooks ETC and Ivy Cottage Creations. I have cards in the Ivy Cottage Tag and card book, and in the Making Memories Birthday Issue, actually one of my cards made the cover! Currently I am working on projects for both my local scrapbook store and Simply Sentiments, a card magazine.

"It is a great honor to be able to design both layouts and cards using such beautiful products! This is truly a wonderful company to work for and I am excited for Lana as she brings her dream to life!"
