New projects by Carrie and Nathalie!!

xcited!! We have two new projects by two of our new designers!!

Meet: Carrie Ferrier

Hi, I’m Carrie. I live in Fort Wayne, IN with my high school sweetheart husband of 27 years. I have 2 grown sons and as of July ’09, a beautiful daughter in law. I love to organize, take long bike rides, and take my Nikon D80 almost everywhere I go. In the past year I’ve dug into learning more and more about photography and have to say I’m having a ball scheduling photo shoots with friends and family members. It’s no surprise that my passion as an adult is scrapbooking since as a little girl my 3 favorite things were collecting pretty stationery, taking pictures of everything imaginable around the house, and writing letters. Scrapbooking is a mix of all those things for me; journaling, product and photos. My style of creating is linear with a little bit of funky added. My favorite part of creating is putting the final touches of details on a page or project. I love making those details enhance my photos. I am thrilled and honored to be a part of the Punky Sprouts design team. I can’t wait to dig in and create with these amazingly fun albums.

This is her awesome project using Punky Sprouts Alfalfa and Graphic 45

project out for publication!!!!

Meet: Nathalie Kalbach

her American husband in the second biggest city of Germany - in
Hamburg. Living in the heart of the city in an art&craft- thriven
neighborhood, she gets inspired by her urban sourroundings. Nat loves
to design, teach and write - doing all of it wholeheartedly. She has
her own column with Somerset Memories called “Nathalie’s Studio” and

the techniques and experiences she has, while pushing them in a
subtile way to add their own creative kick to the projects.

  7. The projects are totally amazing! I love both them! May I ask what kind of glue did Nathalie use on her mini book? I'd like to make one for me but I don't know how to glue the photos onto the fabric. Thanks

  8. Thanks for the wonderful words. Carrie - I love your album- so so so beautiful!

    Fiorella - I used Crafty Power Tape by SCRAPBOOLK ADHESIVES by 3L™ . It is the best for canvas fabric. On the acrylic pages I actually most often use the acrylic paint it self as the glue. I stick the photos or paper elements to the wet paint and as soon as it dries it works like glue.
