January guests

Get to know our January guest designers - Tara Elias and Cristina! Here's a peek at their work, but be sure to join us at noon tomorrow - their projects will be featured alongside our Creative Team in the Copper Mountain gallery!

Tara Elias : I was born and raised in Winnipeg, MB Canada. By day I am in Marketing for a large Insurer in Canada, and by night, I enjoy taking care of my family, scrapbooking, taking bubble baths and wearing sweats as much as humanly possible! I dabbled in Performance Art for a long time, and then made the switch to paper crafting in 2006 to express myself creatively and have never looked back!

Cristina : I'm married, and I love to eat and take pictures of the delicious food my husband cooks. :) I love reading, but I rarely have much time for that now that most of my free time is spent crafting. I began scrapbooking (digitally) in 2007 to make my wedding album, but I only started digi-scrapbooking regularly about a year later. In 2009, I started making hybrid cards, and my love affair with paper began. I started doing Project Life in 2012, and that's when I discovered stamping. I made my first paper scrapbooking page in the fall of 2012. Now, I do a mix of all my favorite things: paper pages, digital pages, paper cards, hybrid cards, and Project Life.
