Today we are featuring the FABULOUS

 Cherry Nelson 

of 

Ethel

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!

 I am on the GCD STUDIOS facebook design team as well as work for Kit creations. I have also been published in Artful blogger. I craft original creations for my Etsy shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/cherryjn) and I am excited to share them here with you!

 I love to find that one of a kind little trinket that will make my pieces one of a kind. I lean towards a vintage look in style, often integrating old trims, paper, etc…so that each item is always unique. I use quality papers, trims, embellishments for my pieces. 

Everything is handmade..and done with love and care.

 You can also find me at my blog.. http://cherrysjubileehome.blogspot.com/ 

where I share a bit of my home, decor, and crafts. 

I take custom orders as well…convoy me with any ideas you may have!

 I hope you enjoy my little shop…come again!
