Guest Designer Spotlight Candy Rosenberg

We just love Candy Rosenberg's mixed media style! She knows how to rock the layers into  show stopping art pieces! We are pleased to have her as this month's Guest Designer! 

How long have you been crafting?

I started scrapbooking like most, a friend was working on a Boy Scout album and I was asking questions on doing one and if she would help me.  I started with a pair of regular scissors, an eyelet punch, 3 sheets of paper and some dollar store adhesive.  I got hooked pretty quickly.  In 2009 I got the opportunity to make a paper dress on a small wire dress form frame and brought it to CHA, the Craft and Hobby Associations trade show for the craft industry, for Graphic 45 paper crafting company.  They put it in their booth at that show.  A few months later I was on their design team and later worked for them.  The rest is history.  I have had the unbelievable opportunity to work with most of the companies that create the products that you see in Craft Warehouse.

What inspires you to be creative?

Color first and foremost.  Then textures.  I am very tactile and am known for my fussy cutting and layering.  It must have depth.

What Craft Warehouse products do you love to use?

I love all the alterable items that can be found at Craft Warehouse, plus the paints, paper and canvases!!! Can never have too many of those things!

How can you encourage others reading this column?

The entire reason why I do what I do is to inspire and teach. I love it when someone says they do not have a creative bone in their body.  That is when I pull out the pair of scissors, piece of paper and adhesive that I always carry in my person and show them how creative they really are!  Every single person has a creative bone in their body, some just need to have it pointed out!

You can find more inspiration at Candy's blog & Facebook page! and Make sure you come back tomorrow as Candy has a lovely mixed media piece tutorial to share with you!
