Since age seven I’ve been sticking my photos to paper and enjoying the process, and I don’t think that will ever change. My name is May Flaum, and I am a person who never expected to work in crafting, and at the same time couldn’t be happier that I am. My life is in Northern California with my husband and two quickly growing daughters. When we’re not talking about a trip to Disneyland or cooking together you might find me crafting about our life’s adventures in my craft space.
I have been an instructor for Big Picture Scrapbooking since 2007, and I’ve loved every minute of every class I’ve taught there. Currently I’m teaching a class about hybrid scrapbooking (registration closes March 3!) you can check out here- http://www.bigpicturescrapbooking.com/gohybrid.php. I also design for Scarlet Lime, write for www.scrapbookupdate.com, and I am the co-author of Paper + Pixels a book by Memory Makers and frequently update my blog www.mayflaum.wordpress.com with craft projects & adventures. If that doesn’t keep me busy enough I also do some freelance work and you can see me now and then in various scrapbook magazines and idea books too. I feel so blessed to work in this industry I love – and I was thrilled when Tricia asked me to be the March guest here at Cocoa Daisy.
Kits are a passion of mine, and I love all that Tricia packs into hers. The chipboard bits were fun to paint and ink, the ribbons are totally luscious, and the papers were each more yummy than the last. Usually I stick to layouts with kits, but I was inspired to try my hand at a small (5×7) canvas project to hang on the wall, a gift card holder from a Starbucks cup sleeve, and a card to send a friend. I cracked myself up with my “sew + lucky” card – can’t wait to send that one out.
I had so much fun with this kit – and I was definitely smiling the whole time. Thanks for checking out my projects –
