Hey, thanks for stopping by today. Welcome to my VERY first blog post. It has taken a long time for me to finally get to a place where I feel ready to put myself and my work out there for the world to see.... But I suppose I'm getting ahead of myself a bit...
My name is Christina, but I'm known amongst my loved ones as TLC (The Lovely Christina). I have been paper crafting for 16 years. I started with scrapbooking photos of myself in middle school. I have to say, like most first scrapbooks, mine looked rough. I WAY overused stickers and I had no concept of proper use of white space. It wasn't until I purchased my first Cricut machine (do you remember the little original Cricut that only took 6"x12" paper?) that I started really feeling the passion for crafting. I began studying trends and subscribing to every paper craft magazine I could. Then I started to visit conventions and talking with other crafters. The fire grew and so did my arsonal of supplies! Paper stacks grew like unruly mountains. My wallet seemed to jump out of my purse everytime a new Cricut cartridge was released. Then, it was stamping and spray inks that were added to the mix. I dare say that buying supplies is almost as fun as using them!!
Anyway, After many years of creating for me and my family, I have finally taken the leap to start this blog. This the first step for me. What's next? Well, this fall I plan on becoming a vendor at my first round of local craft shows. If all goes well... I'm hoping to start my own online business. But I know I have to learn to crawl before I run!
Here's hoping that you'll follow me on my journey... Have a lovely day :)
