I have loved papercrafting for as long as I can remember (since preschool, really!) My Craft Spot started out as a place to share my ideas through pictures and video tutorials. Then I discovered Scrunched Seam Binding! I started hand dyeing the seam binding and now I have over 30 beautiful colors in my store! (I think I am addicted! LOL!) I also have 40 yummy colors of Bakers Twine, including a great new Valentine twist, Twinery Twine, Trendy Twine (3 colors twisted together!), Traditional twine and my own hand dyed Vintage Twine! I also have my own line of High Quality Photopolymer Stamps! I now have 15 sets including 2 new Valentine sets just released in January. Come visit My Craft Spot for lots of ideas and inspiration, videos and weekly challenges with prizes!
