Hi Paper Crafts Friends!
Some of you may remember me from a few years ago when I worked with Paper Crafts as Editor-in-Chief. Well I’m back as the Digital Managing Editor for Paper Crafts and Creating Keepsakes magazines, and I couldn’t be happier. For those of you that I haven’t connected with yet, let me tell you a little about myself.
I love dogs, any shade of purple, and chocolate! As long as you remember those things, we’ll get along famously. 
I am a crafter at heart. My mom is the one that ingrained the love of creating from the time I was old enough to squeeze glue from a bottle. Over the years, I have tole-painted, decorated cakes, made flower arrangements, beaded, scrapbooked, stamped, made cards, crocheted, sewn, and knitted. When I got into the paper side of life I started scrapbooking, but quickly switched to making cards because I can do them quickly and get that instant gratification I need.
Typically, I say my style is simple, because it’s easy and I don’t have to think about it, but I’m drawn to shabby chic and pretty designs. I honestly like all styles and love perusing magazines for inspiration—good thing I work for one.
So, that’s me in a nutshell. I’m so excited to be here and look forward to sharing ideas, techniques, inspiration, and more over the coming months.
Have fun creating!

Stay-ceeeeee!!!! Welcome back! I love you artwork and was so thrilled to meet and take a class with you about 8 years ago at a PC convention in San Antonio. I reproduced one of your designs for my Christmas card that year. Best inspiration EVER!!!
Stacy,
We like the same things!!! Can’t wait to see your stuff.
Welcome Back!!!
Do you still have your basset hounds?
I fondly remember the time you included a photo of a tugboat in Duluth (my hometown) during your editorial days. So nice to see you back!
Welcome back, Stacy ~ looking forward to all your goodness!
Hi Stacy, Nice to meet you! Dogs, purple and chocolate – got it! I’m looking forward to seeing all you have to share with us.
Thanks everyone!! Yes, I still have Bassetts, although we lost Cleo about a year ago so now we’ve added Hazel and Gracie to the family.
And wow, Paper Arts Convention was a long time ago, but certainly a fun time.
Looking forward to fun times ahead. Thanks again!
Yay! It’s great to see you again! You have been missed!

So fun to see your face here. When I read about your crafting journey I can see why we have always gotten along!!! I can list all of those same things, landing on card making.
Welcome back. Can’t wait to see what you have to share with all of us.
So lovely to have you back–have to say I did see you floating around a few CK conventions here in Mesa–but I’m sure you are happy to settle in one place with your pups!
