Designer Work


 

A Little About Me:
Hi there! I'm Chrissie and I have been involved in some aspect of art my entire life. From oil paints and watercolors as a child, to paper crafting and digital art as an adult, rarely a day has gone by in my world that doesn’t include art. I graduated from a national Art School (with Honors) and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Communications. I started papercrafting shortly after graduating High School, but I ended up just hoarding supplies and not completing any projects. But, a few years ago, my love of papercrafting was rekindled when I was invited to scrapbook at a friend’s house. I have been obsessed ever since!!! The name of my blog comes from my love of Autumn and everything Fall (and it helps that I have an Autumn birthday, too!).

My goal is to inspire other people to use their creativity. I firmly believe that EVERYONE is creative, but we are all inspired by different things. With so many different techniques and supplies available, anyone can learn to love card making and scrapbooking and have fun while doing it.
