Negative Pop Out Glitter Heart Instructions:

Meet Chrys:

Happy New Year!!! My name is Chrys and I am thrilled to be a guest designer for Emma's Paperie! I've known Cindy for many years and am excited to be sharing with all of her customers some of my creations! I have been dabbling in paper crafts for a very long time, and have been working in the scrapbook industry for the last 5 years. I currently work for Boxer Scrapbook and for CupCards {to go}. I have had the pleasure of being featured many times over in several paper crafting magazines through the years. I have been married to my best friend Mark for almost 11 years and we have two boys, James and Andrew. A day does not go by that I am not creating, whether it's making a card, a mini book or layout, I also do needlework and quilting. Being creative is my passion both with paper and the needle. Thank you for having me be part of Emma's Paperie as a guest designer!
