I am a card maker

Hi crafty friends,
It’s been awhile. And another move for me, this time from Paris to Cleveland Ohio.
In the past 4 years, with 3 moves under my belt, my carrier as a scrapbooker has taken a turn! I had just arrived in Prague when Pretty Little Studio asked me for a Christmas Collection. It was my 2nd Christmas collection in 2 years and my 4th collection for them. (You can find all my collections here) At the same time I was on The Citrus Twist kits design team and on the Get it scrapped design team and in some teaching ventures for them as well. I might venture to say that this was a bit much! So I ended my term with CTK and decided that I was done with designing collections. I had to breathe. My scrapbooking mojo kinda left me while I was adjusting to the new chapter of my life, in czech. 😖 2years later we unexpectedly moved to Paris. I had a beautiful scraproom but could never settle in there! Another big adjustment and so little time and space. So I decided to follow my crafty BFF into her endeavor: card making. That was more portable than scrapbooking. I bough myself some Bristol paper and a lot of zig markers and I was good to go, on the corner of the table in the living room. Since then we moved once more, to the US this time. We should be here for a longer time. I do have my own office here too but it hasn’t been yet a year that we are here and I haven’t picked up scrapbooking back just yet. I’ve been making cards though! Lots of cards. Growing my stamp and tools collection and having fun pouring my soul and passion on these small scale projects. Here are some of my favorite cards I’ve made in the past two years:

Of course, I have made way more than just these. If you want to see more you can check my Instagram account @mpcapistran or on Facebook @PrettyPleaseByMariePierre

Now that I’ve straightened things out here, I’ll make sure to post my cards here as well because even though they aren’t scrapbooking pages, they are pieces of art and I’m sure you crafty friends will be interested in these too. 😊

Talk to you soon!!
