across these two when they were having a giveaway a few months ago, and fell
head over heels in love with their work!
I mean, it’s INCREDIBLE!

past 20 years. She’s done a few scrapbooks, but her passion
seems to fall into making cards for
weddings, graduations, birthdays, and special events invitations. Fran is the newbie of the two, although she’s
been making cards for 7 years…still a paper crafting veteran in my book!
were working in the same Emergency Room as nurses. Fran would see the beautiful cards that Cissy
would bring in for special occassions for their co-workers. Fran got hooked and there was no separating
the two! That is, until Hurricane
Katrina hit the town they lived in and both women completely lost their
homes. Fran decided to move out of state
while Cissy stayed to watch her town rebuild.
Fran’s own words: “ I am
fascinated by blogging and love how it has become such a big part of my
life. Every day there is always
something new to seek out and find, or a new person to talk to and share tips, techniques and a little friendship with.
from becoming a lonely, depressed person just watching tv all day.
love the process of designing card layouts, as each one becomes a creative and
therapeutic expression. I am obsessed not with buying shoes but with buying
craft supplies. Cissy, on the other
hand, is obsessed with both!”
posts/projects, she mentioned two;
card stock! Have you ever seen anything
that cool?!
is that! ( I know more and more of you
are starting to do this, but I’m still in AWE!)
standpoint in five years?
where I had my locally based invitation business, I have not been able to
establish a new client list and I hope that in 5 years I can have a very
successful locally based invitation business where I can work out of my own
home.”
springboard into becoming a design team member for any large paper crafting
business, travelling with them around the country going to conventions and
shows and all the while getting paid to craft and create. Or I would want to
work at a scrapbook store or craft store with the possibility of one day owning
a craft store with a tea room attached to it.”
take a peek at these two incredible crafters.
If you like what you see, leave them some love, or better yet, follow!!
