I've been a paper crafter for about 16 years and blogging as Creative Em since June 2013. Although I wasn't with them long, 'm forever grateful to Chana, Kathi and the then DT of 613 Avenue Create for taking a chance with an inexperienced me in February 2015 when they gave me my first DT spot. Like many of us, my crafting journey has been full of twists and turns, though I've largely kept to a clean and simple style. I found parchment craft, via Claritystamp's Groovi system, by chance in late 2018 and the mindful processes involved make it a perfect, relaxing fit for me. So much so that I've been doing live demonstrations in my private Facebook group since September 2019.

My name is Marianne.
I am married, retired, and I live in Metz in the East of France.
I started scrapbooking in 2009. It quickly became a way to release the stress of work. I have evolved over the years despite being self-taught. I work on feeling. I don't like sketches or lifts that are sorely lacking in personality. I touch a bit of everything, pages, albums, bag jewelry, I love mixed techniques, but it's cardmaking that takes up all my time. For a little over two years, I have been coloring. I still have a lot to learn, but I feel such fulfillment when I color. I have a preference for pencils, although the markers are surprisingly realistic.

At the start of the pandemic, I went back and rediscovered my watercolors. I wanted something that takes time and is challenging. I discovered many wonderful artists who share their talents online. I've made an effort to vary their tutorials and learned a lot of new techniques. That's the really exciting part of this rediscovery. As a retired art teacher, I've always been open to new experiences, not hesitating to try to broaden my abilities. With all the time I have invested in this hobby, I can say that my art is so much better than it was when I taught the subject.
I am continually inspired by the many artists online. Here are two Abstract Watercolors from a tutorial by The Art Sherpa, Cinnamon Cooney. For additional information go to:
