Welcome to our monthly Guest Designer Spotlight! We are thrilled to introduce you to the talented Karen Downs, who has joined us this month to share their creative journey and inspire you with her amazing projects.
Meet the Maker
“I reside in beautiful Colorado Springs, Colorado with my husband. I have three grown children and just became a grandmother. I have always loved paper crafting of some kind since I was a little girl and that included making handmade cards. As I got older, I scrapbooked and used my supplies to make cards as well. Now I strictly make cards. With the encouragement of my youngest son, I started posting on Instagram in 2020 right before the pandemic and love the community that exists there!"
