Scrap Fever 5 – Meet Kelly Purkey

Willow Tree Crafts — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:44:54 +0000

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:
