Scrap Fever 5 – Meet Kelly Purkey

January 22, 2010 by Willow Tree Crafts  
Filed under Scrap Fever

Kelly Purkey is a fantastic graphic designer and scrapbooker living in New York. Kelly has been an American Crafts product designer, a 2Peas in a Bucket Garden Girl, and a member of the American Crafts and Fiskars design teams, along with being on the Creating Keepsakes 2008-09 Dream Team and a CKConvention instructor. Kelly will be teaching some fantastic classes at our Scrap Fever weekend in April.

I remember the day I discovered my Grandmother’s scrapbooks and was so delighted to have this glimpse into her life. It all became clear exactly why I take so many photos, save each piece of paper, and try to record every aspect of my life as a young single girl. I am lucky to currently live in New York City, where there is inspiration around every corner. Besides scrapbooking I love traveling, curling up with a good book, laughing with friends, and cupcakes with lots of icing.

Here’s a sample of Kelly’s Work:

Dyan Reavely

Hi I’m Dyan,

I am the owner of Art from the Heart, a large teaching and design studio in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, where I can be found teaching a large variety of eclectic classes. I am the Senior Educator in Europe for Ranger Industries and I am well known for my innovative and down to earth style, and I am a regular contributor to the British crafting magazines. I have always been obsessed with paint and techniques and I am currently on a mission to get the world Art Journaling and strongly believe it should be available on the NHS..!! lol.

Along with my daughter Jay, we founded Blonde Moments, which is a British company with fabby hand painted papers large and small, funky rubber stamps, stunning pearl pigments and gorgeous ultra thick embossing powders.

I am also mum to four grown up kids, Ben, Tom, Jay and Emmi and proud grandma to the gorgeous Maisie Lilly. My favourite things of all time are: Toffees, Paint, Art journaling, Firemen, the colour Black and Northern Soul – Keep the Faith!

In less than a week we’ll all be at Scrap Fever, probably unpacking the shop and geting it all ready to open, the crop room will be getting ready too, although attendees can check in from 2pm so you could well have already settled in, and even been to the pool and jacuzzi for a while!

I’m sure we’ll all be ready for a fantastic meal and a drink in the bar later…then great classes from Layle and Mary Anne all weekend.
