Guest Designer, Cherry Nelson

We'd like to welcome Cherry Nelson as a Guest Designer for Emma's! Meet Cherry below and check out her adorable projects using products from the store.

Meet Cherry:

I have had a fascination with paper and scissors from an early age..use to cut out little paper villages and I adored paper dolls (still do)! About three years ago I started scrapbooking to preserve memories of my son and our family. In the last year I have found I really enjoy making cards and love to alter found items and make them my own. Paper is my passion and is theraputic to my soul. I enjoy the whole process of creating...from found items, finding that perfect paper, to the embellishments. It makes me happy!"
