Digital crafting is a rapidly growing hobby and/or profession for many women. One of the women I’ve been so blessed to get to know over the last year is Rebeca. She’s the wife of a Pastor in Spain and searched the internet to find art that she could use to create Christian Products to sell and help support their family and ministry.
I was very taken with their story and asked her if I could interview her and share her story with the rest of my readers. I asked her a series of questions and she wrote back such a wonderful response that I don’t want to cut it short. I think what I’ll do is post part of it here on line and upload it in it’s entirety as a pdf document for those who would like to read the entire story and see their family pictures.
REBECA’S STORY ” In answer to your questions I started pressing flowers and making pictures with Scripture verses when I was 15, and have been at it since then. My Mother has always been very encouraging, and it is wonderful to be able to create something beautiful that has a special message from the Bible. Last year we were struggling financially, so we started thinking and praying about the possibility of really pushing Inspiraflor (Inspire-flower would be the translation, although it sounds better in Spanish.. =)
So I started looking on the web and found digital scrapbooking, and thought that this truly would be a great tool to be able to create things for everyone, not just beautiful flowery creations. But I really wanted to be careful about the copyright laws, so I prayed that the Lord would guide me to the right site. Well after MUCH looking I found the DAISIE Company and their wonderful Angel Policy under which I knew I could operate, so I started making cards, calendars, bookmarkers, stickers, pictures, and several other items. I am truly amazed at how the Lord has led me and helped me. LINK TO COMPLETE ARTICLE HERE”
AUDREY’S RESPONSE: Producing art that young (or not so young) mothers can use to create products to help their families has been a dream fulfilled for me. I was able to be home with my children because of crafting and wouldn’t have the career I have today were it not for the wonderful craft shows I was able to sell my wares at. If you are a crafter or professional crafter I’d love to hear your stories and just might feature some more of them if the response is strong enough.
On the business end, I have two new kits up in the store today. AUTUMN GLORY 1 DIGITAL CLIP ART KIT Link here and AUTUMN GLORY 1 PAPER PACK Link here are now available. You can see the previews above. I’ll be uploading my fonts next, so stay tuned!
