My name is Karen Hanson, and I am a crafter from Calgary, Alberta (about 3 hours north of Montana along the beautiful Rocky Mountains).  First and foremost, I am a mom of two adorable little girls and wife to an equally cute (and creative,) hubby! I originally started my blogging about my crafty adventures as a way of keeping myself “honest” about creating!  I had received a Cricut as a Mother’s Day gift, and wanted to make sure that I actually used it.  I was hoping my online scrapping friends could help encourage me to “keep on crafting, just keep crafting!”  Things grew from there, as did my scrapping and crafting.  I now love creating everything from cards, to scrapbooking layouts to home decor projects, and even throw in a bit of sewing now and again.  I have been a huge fan of May Arts ribbon since I first discovered the product through a joint challenge with DCWV.  I cannot tell you how excited I am to share ideas, tips and tricks and even a few lessons I learn along the way as part of this great design team!
