I am a Mother of a 17 months old girl and 4 year old boy.  I feel so blessed to have a boy and a girl to keep my busy! I also have two cats who are best buds even though they wrestle with each other all the time! I have been married for 11 years now to my sweetheart whom I met in college. I am sort of a stay at home mom but I also work as a secretary using my own office.

I have tried just about every craft under the sun from cross stitch to decorative painting. Though since the kids have been born I concentrate now on only scrapbooking and card making. I love these two hobbies because it allows me to combine all my other crafts into smaller, workable forms. I have been scrapbooking for about 9 years now and recently became involved in digital scrapbooking. I am having a lot of fun learning about this version of my hobby!

I had my digital cutter since September 2007...I think. It was a total impulse buy.  I  was so nervous about my purchase since I never buy anything without researching it first. Turns out it was one of the best decision of my life! I am having so much fun with my cutter and have met some wonderful friends on the Paperthreads forum.  Please if you are thinking of buying a cutter or upgrading don’t be intimidated.  Paperthreads support is wonderful!  Also,  there are numerous helpful people on the Paperthreads forum that will help you overcome your fears and solve your problems. 

 I am so delighted to be a Paperthreads Designer.  Designing files is a great joy for me and I’m glad I can share that joy with you.  I love a challenge so please e-mail (shellysart@verizon.net)  me with requests of any files you need created.
