Hi there! I'm Altina and I am 20 years old. I have been doing crafts for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a family of crafters since my mom and both of my grandmothers craft.
When I was little most of what my family did was quilting and sewing. One of my grandmothers taught me how to embroider when I was about six. I loved it instantly. The same grandmother also taught me to crochet when I was eight.
I taught myself to knit when I was fourteen, and my other grandmother taught me to quilt and gave me a sewing machine when I was fifteen. I started painting when I was seventeen.
My love of scrapbooking (and the start of an obession with paper) started shortly before I turned sixteen. I had recently moved, and while reconnecting with some old friends I discovered scrapbooking. My friends loved to scrapbook and make cards, and what they did was beautiful. I fell in love very quick! I asked my friends to teach me how to scrapbook. I bought the supplies and we sat down for an afternoon of papercrafting.
I have since learned to make mini albums and have just recently started making cards.
My favorite paper brand is Die Cuts With a View. I love all the beautiful designs on the papers, and I have a mountain of stacks. I really love them for when I make my mini albums. I don't have to spend hours picking paper, I can just grab a stack and get to work.
Anyways please keep checking back for more updates, photos, and tutorials. See ya soon!
