My Name is Magdalena Cortez and I’m from Mexico ..I love art crafts and now I’m hooked into Scrapbooking as my full time job…I’m doing Classes in some Stores here in San Diego, Ca. and also I just started my Kit Club at Ustream.. I love to make mini Albums and I love to work with Graphic45, Bo Bunny, Prima Papers, Authentique and many more, paper is my passion.

My Style is defined as “Romantic*Eco-Trashy*Elegant” …. I love color and you can see it all over my creations, I love butterflies I use a lot of cardboard and all kind of recycled materials mixed with new materials, I like to experiment with paints and distresses to give an unusual and distinctive touch to my work.. I love to make Mini Albums in all kind of shapes with different techniques and I really love my Cards.
I think creativity is a cumulative experience where life combined with imagination produces art to be preserved forever.

World Cardmaking Day: Meet the Demonstrators: Jennifer Priest

Next up on our meet and greet tour is Jennifer Priest.  She’ll be demo’ing  both Saturday and Sunday this weekend for our Creative Cynchronicity's "World Card Making Day" event.  Join us on October 6th from noon to 5 pm Eastern and on the 7th from noon to 6 pm Eastern for online live streaming craft demos and giveaways.

Jennifer has been involved in the papercrafting community for over 12 years. She lives in the High Desert of California with her supportive {and sometimes scrappy} husband, two kids, and two dogs. For the past 9 years, Jennifer has been teaching papercrafting classes at events, charity crops, and local retailers as well as online through My Creative Classroom. A love of sharing, a passion for teaching, and a happy, whimsical design style drive Jennifer's creative endeavors and characterize her work.

A potpourri of styles from across the spectrum, Jennifer's work always includes a bit of humor and fantasy, a touch of the unexpected. Jennifer mixes her passion to try new things, push the envelope, and experiment with her affinity for techniques that are quick, affordable, and accessible by others. Her outlook on crafting is that it is a continual learning process, with every crafter at a different place in their crafty journey, each of us learning from one another. She loves the community that naturally develops when crafters share with one another and is excited to be a part of that connection. Being able to share her passion about papercrafting with others is Jennifer's dream job and she is thankful for every moment she's been able to spend "working" at it.

Jennifer has represented multiple manufacturers as an educator and design team member as well as social media consultant and coordinator for several brands. In 2007, Jennifer launched Hydrangea Hippo, promoting the etsy shop and companion blog solely online through social marketing, As a result of her efforts and techniques, her sales have doubled each year since opening and her advice on marketing is sought by colleagues regularly. Jennifer founded HippoMedia in March 2012 to further her work in social media by networking with, coaching, and managing programs for designers & crafters, indie businesses, and craft manufacturers. She's been fortunate enough to have had her work published in top publications and books and is a Designer Member of the Craft and Hobby Association. When she's not papercrafting, Jennifer enjoys gardening, visiting local crafts fairs, junking and yard saling, and taking touristy day trips around California with her family. Jennifer is also an Army veteran, volunteer for local charities and dedicated mom and wife.

World Cardmaking Day: Meet the Demonstrators: Susan M. Brown

Meet Susan M. Brown, another one of our fabulous demonstrators for Creative Cynchronicity's "World Card Making Day" two day event that  includes online live streaming craft demos and giveaways:  October 6th from noon to 5 pm Eastern and the 7th from noon to 8 pm Eastern.

Susan says:  During the daylight hours...I am graphic artist working the fast-paced printing industry...which feeds my creative muse at night - hence the title of my blog "sbartist : painting in the dark".

I am passionately curious about creating by “embracing the unexpected"; using materials in new and unexpected ways - whether I’m making collage or assemblage, painting, dabbling in photography, sewing, stamping, scrapbooking or using a bit of everything. I am also fond of "greencrafting" and enjoy giving a new creative life to something headed for the trash bin.

Just wait until you see Susan’s demonstration on Saturday!:    What do you do with unused stamped images, scraps, leftovers and random things headed for the bin??? You create a "Throw-Away Collage"! I will show you how to take things forever collected in a baggie or box on your craft table and put them to use in creative cards. Go "shop your stash", grab your basic tools and come play along. I will be giving away a fabulous prize package courtesy of Viva Las Vegastamps! {www.stampo.com}...a starter stamping kit including acrylic blocks, stamps, ink, embossing powder, and more. Approx $75 retail value
