Cardmaking is my passion
I was six years old when I learned how to properly color in the lines, and when I say properly, I mean going back and forth in a straight line inside the lines until the whole image was the color you wanted. After I mastered this technique...with a variety of coloring books and hand drawn pictures, I started to give pictures away as gifts. For a seven year old, a hand drawn and colored picture was fun to do, but certainly didn't make it to the art gallery (aka...the fridge) everytime. Soon, for birthdays I started folding a piece of notebook paper in half and I would gather information on the person for whom I was making the card. For example, when I made a birthday card for my mom, I knew that she loved the color purple, so that was my color of choice, then I also knew that she loved pretty things, and I would create her a custom card with maybe flowers or butterflies.
