Paper is a PaperCrafters Best Friend
I know, Duh...
Well Hello There!
Come on In and Get Comfy! My name is Desiree and I live in Pennsylvania with the hubs of over 20 years and our furry bot Max! I am fluent in Crafting, a Master Paper Manipulator, a Certified Zentangle® Teacher, and a violator of all that makes sense... I think I get my curiosity from my cat! LOL |
Paper is just the perfect medium to work with for any Art you want to create! Why do you ask? Well... here is why!
We can --- cut it, tear it, ink it, paint it, spray it, draw on it, crumple it, just to name a few! It can be both intimidating and overwhelming but it is my first choice to create beautiful Art! |
Paper can hold our precious memories in a Scrapbooking Album to a Vintage Style Journal! It can help us to Include a Thank You or to lift someone's spirits with a simple card! Our Doodles can be come part of a beautiful piece of art with just a simple stroke of pen ~Zentangle®...
Through my creative journey I have found great joy in teaching others playing with the best medium ever, PAPER! When Zentangle came along it was just another piece of art to add to my teaching arsenal! Today I enjoy teaching in-person and Online classes!

The Card Maker...
Sending a "Thank You" or a "I am Thinking You" when some one needs it the most! This is a Card Makers purpose and pride...
What we do not realize though is we are creating works of Art! Pieces that sit on a mantle or desk to be admired! Its handmade with love and care!
We have to ENJOY the process and have fun as we learn new techniques or try those new ideas! That is where I come in! I want to break that fear and show you the art you have in you and make it shine!
Below I have started a Free Academy for specifically for the Card Marker, however the tools and supplies can be use with any craft!

The Scrapbooker... |
The Journaler... |
Scrapbook Albums tell a story! These albums combine photos with the story of the occasion!
We build our own album and then add all the embellishments to make someone's memories come to life! |
The Vintage "Style" Journal can be made out of anything you have on hand! Copy, Pattern, Coffee/Tea Dyes Papers give this Journal its charm!
It can hold memories of a trip or it can hold your thoughts in dreams in words with a little style! |
The Zentangle® Method is an easy, relaxing way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns, called tangles, using simple elemental strokes we already know!
It gives a sense of focus, artistic satisfaction and personal wellness. All ages welcome and requires no previous artistic experience!
Zentangle® is a non-representational form of art and it is not something that we plan out in advance. We take our pen to paper and focus on each stroke, one at a time!
Each art will be different and unique techniques will be applied and even created by you!

I have created a Facebook Group called... Desiree Tangles with Paper!
In this community it is all about the Zentangle® Method, Art and its Tangles! Relax and ENJOY while you create your art! In the Group we talk and share our ideas for projects, there will be FB Live Sessions and even a Zentangle Zoom every once in a while, with a specific project so we can tangle together! |
