I love to make art! I have loved it since I was a small child. I went to college for Graphic Design and worked in that field four years until I became a stay-at-home-mom. I enjoy many creative hobbies (painting, drawing, graphic design, photography, quilting, knitting and crocheting) and I love scrapbooking and paper crafting because I am able to combine many of my creative interests into this one artform. I really enjoy working in the paper arts industry and am always open to new opportunities. You can contact me at cktobey@netzero.net
