About Me

Good day art friends, I began doing paper crafting about 20 years ago when it was all the rage. I began doing scrapbooking pages for my children's memories, leading to card making, Stampin Up and a true addiction to ATC's. I love mixed media, collage, rolos, inchies,twinchies and anything to get my fingers sticky and dirty. I belong to a few swap groups.

I have been married 34 years, we have 2 adult children. My daughter is married to a wonderful man, they both thankfully live nearby and both of them work in the city of Chicago. They recently blessed us with our first Grandson, Landon. Landon seems to make my whole life sparkle in a way I've never felt before. My son is a former Special Operation Marine USMC Raider, he graduated UNCW Wilmington, NC. Magna Kum Laude in 2021 and secured a cyber security position with Forvis Financial, formerly Dixon Hughs Goodman based in Charlotte, NC.

I am a retired Information Technician having worked with the Barrington School District for 16 years, in Barrington, Illinois. I try to incorporate creativity into my day if it is at all possible. My husband is an architectural woodworker and is gifted with a lathe. He creates remarkable pieces.

I am also a watercolor artist. I belong to 3 National Urban Sketching groups . We paint what we see on location, it is great fun. I love to paint the homes of my friends and present them as gifts.

I love to read books, I read between 40-60 books a year. I'm a big fan of historic fiction, war nonfiction and biographies.

You can find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. We have a summer place and I'm often there all summer creating swap pieces or watercolor painting.

I have tattoos. One tattoo that I am really proud of is on my top left foot edge, it reads "Una Vita Artistica" in Italian (An Artistic Life) so when I am toe tagged the technician will know just how I spent my life, with beautiful colors, creativity and creative people.

My favorite holiday is Halloween, 4th of July is a close second. I love doing swaps with holiday themes.

We recently purchased a Lake House for our summer season retirement home, we are excited to go boating and kayaking. I enjoy cooking and experimenting with different cooking techniques, and grilling food.

My favorite colors are green, teal and red. I incorporate a lot of pin up gals in my work, gosh I hope that is vintage. I love lots and lots of color and detail, I don't know when to stop, you will see my layers upon layers when we swap. If you see leaves on the artwork, it is most likely mine.

Thank you for reading all this info. It is nice to get to know each other. Salute.

Comment: Oh Lizzie! Oh my! Your gorgeous layered and collaged background is simply amazing! I mean...the Queen herself was lovely at every stage of her life, but you brought her to life with the thoughtfully chosen elements in the background...the postage stamps and the snippets of newspaper headlines and appropriate statements. You are as amazing as she was!

Comment: Adorable collage index card Liz! I love the old children's book imagery too, and the one you used is so sweet. I also liked how you kept the theme of children going even in your coupon image, clever! Thanks for the stash of ephemera too, such wonderful little treasures to use in future index cards, no doubt!

Comment: Liz, Thank you very much for the beautiful card, you did a great job using the color. I’m still working on mine and trying not to make it too blue - but you did fabulous. Thank you also for the goodies, but also for the glassine bags! I gobble them up and put them in my stash whenever I get the chance. I just saw a YouTube video about a glassine journal that I might try when I get enough. Donna

Comment: Hi Liz, Thank you so much for the card, I love it. Anything that has a Fleetwood Mac reference is an automatic win & gets a heart. All of the elements fit in perfectly.

Comment: Oh Liz, this black and white rolo is just fabulous! So many little interesting bits and pieces of ephemera and the touches of bright red really pop against the black and white. You truly have a knack for wonderful collage work - the eye is drawn to a central object but then wanders to all the additional bits and pieces that make a wonderful whole. Thanks for this wonderful creation and also for all the extra goodies - especially the Halloween ephemera!

Comment: Hi Liz and thanks so much for these awesome faux postage stamps! Some honestly look like real stamps! And glad you liked stamping - I do as well. It's how my paper crafting started years ago, and i still love using and collecting rubber stamps. I think these little stamps will be great as ephemera for another project and in my junk journal, so thank you again. And I love the extras you sent - always welcome and fun!!

Love the background and other elements that just finish it off perfectly! And thank you for the extra goodies - always a treat!
Response: Hi Laurie, I'm so glad you liked my Gibbon. Thank you for the thoughtful review. Take care.

Lizzie! I just received your bee-youtiful ATC as a bonus, and it’s even lovelier in real life than in the photo! And I spy, with my little eye, a wee bee charm! I have to know...it the little β€œframe” made of German glass glitter? I am drooling...
