I live in Arkansas, with my husband, daughter and my two sons.</p>
<p>I have a love for all things crafty, and a passion for designing scrapbook layouts &amp; mixed media art. I love to paint, draw, and distress ... anything where I can get my hands messy!</p>
<p>Documenting my memories in an artful way is extremely important to me and I always strive to inspire others whenever I can. I enjoy teaching others new techniques and I have been fortunate enough to host an annual scrapbooking /art retreat for the last six years on Petit Jean Mountain. I'm addicted to my camera, my scrap tunes, my sewing machine, and all of my art mediums. I am honored to be part of the STAEDTLER Design Team and I look forward to creating and sharing STAEDTLER projects with everyone I can!<br />Visit me at <a href="http://www.ataleintime.com/" target="_blank" lsurl="http://www.ataleintime.com/">www.ataleintime.com</a></p> <p>I'm Kellie, owner of &ldquo;Make it with me&rdquo; an art and craft product design company. I'm a multi media artist specializing in polymers of every description. I paint in all mediums and most styles, sculpt in clay, glass and metal, sew most of my own clothes, bead, make bread from scratch every couple days and knit. My work has been featured on Canadian television, American and Canadian magazines and web sites, and I have had the pleasure of designing for many of the industries most popular product distributors and manufacturers.

Scrapbooking is a very personal thing for me, I love telling a story through photos, embellishments and layers. I consider the world around me to be my inspiration and I am so grateful that I get to explore art in all its forms. I consider my style to be happy, very layered and colorful. I enjoy sketching with a pencil and pen and using watercolors to create my own unique embellishments.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Currently I am at the end of my term with SEI paper crafting company and in the past I have worked with several challenge blogs and the little black dress kit club. I&rsquo;m so excited to be a part of the STAEDTLER Design team and I am looking forward to sharing all my creations.</p>
