Introducing Andrea Cloutier

Hello! As Tammy mentioned yesterday, we had a great response to our Design Team call and are busily going through the applications. In fact, we've been so busy, we're done!

Janelle will posting our new members tomorrow, so come back for the BIG announcement!

For today, here is my introduction instead of our regular Talk Tuesday.



I am Andrea, living in South Florida, land of the beach and sunshine! I've crafted my whole life and have been stamping since 1997.  I love to craft in many ways - ATCs, cards, scrapbook pages and anything altered. There's nothing out there that can't use some stamping or glitter in my opinion!  Heat embossing has been a passion of mine for years which matches perfectly to my stamping interests.

I met Jim and Janelle Marshall (owners of P K Glitz) awhile back (maybe 2004 - do you remember Janelle?) at the Stampfest show in Clearwater, FL. I had used Powder Keg Embossing Powders for years due to the fantastic color combinations,  so meeting the owners in person was exciting!

I have been published in several print and online magazines like Take Ten and Scrapbook News and Review. I also teach classes at my local scrapbook/stamp store and online.  Crafting and the internet have allowed a creative side of me to emerge through the exchange of ideas. Isn't it a great time to be technologically crafty? :)

How would you describe your style?
A range of styles is how I would describe the way I craft. I can be completely distressed and grunged or clean and simple. It really depends on my mood and project at hand.

What are your favorite colors to work with?
Black, white and red is my favorite color combination. I love working with bright colors ranging from blues to greens to reds also.

What do you like to do when you are not in your studio creating?
I love walking along the beach. I'm lucky that I live so close to the ocean! I truly love it.

Do you prefer to work on scrapbook projects or make cards?
Both! I've been making more cards lately due to time constraints, but scrapbook pages are so much fun that I love to create those also.

What is your favorite - P K Glitz embossing powder or Glitter Glitz?
Embossing powder is my passion with the Glitter Glitz a close second. Embossing powder adds that extra touch to any project, especially those using stamps. It's classy while adding an air of "how'd you do that" to the piece.

I'll share some recent projects with you, highlighting some of my favorite P K Glitz products.
