“Creation is not a luxury: it is a necessity.”

— Amy Tangerine, Craft a Life You Love

My daily motivation is to live the best version of myself that I can for my family and those around me. About ten years ago, I was in the process of burnout, and my creative flow was running dry. I knew something needed to change.

Then I discovered scrapbooking and a whole community of people who really paused to examine their lives. They were being reflective. They were documenting the joyous moments. They were sharing stories with one another. As I got immersed in this community, I realized I was starting to realign my thoughts to focus on the positive side of life and release my stress and worry. My creative juices were flowing again.

We all want to live amazing lives. The way we create those lives vary, but what I do know for sure is that our hobbies matter.

I never imagined that my hobby of scrapbooking would turn into a career of helping others live their best lives by giving themselves permission to pursue their craft and take loving care of themselves.

I published my book Craft A Life You Love in 2018, to provide creatives with the tools to see the bright and shiny side of life and find and maintain their flow by focusing on what truly matters.

No two days are the same at my studio. One day I’ll be designing a new product and creating new content for a workshop, and the next I’ll be painting hand lettering artwork or a mural design for a client in the morning and recording my podcast in the afternoon.

My son is a daily inspiration to me. I love seeing what he creates in his nook at my studio.

The number one question I get asked is, “Why do you love rainbows?”

There’s something magical about the colors in the world in one place. When I see a rainbow, I feel hope and happiness. They make me smile.

Rainbows are also a way for me to organize my life. My life is full of projects, daily tasks, and family responsibilities; so seeing each of them as a different color of the rainbow, I am able to feel happy while creating order and a routine.

Everything I do works beautifully together—just like the colors of a rainbow, and I take the time to appreciate and focus on each individual project.

My hope is you live your life in full color too!

Take a tour of my studio, where I make happiness happen every day.

It’s all about getting messy, embracing your mistakes, and trusting that everyone brings something different and special to the table.
