Tools.

Favorite Luxe line & why:

Who’s your favorite “professional” crafter & why? 
I would have to say Stacy Julian and Ali Edwards.  I relate to them by their personalities.  For example, Stacy lives in my hometown - so I love seeing her photos and remembering places from my childhood.  As for Ali, I feel like we share the same sense of style. Both of them seem down to earth and I love that about them.

What color cardstock do you use the most?
I love Craft because it goes with anything.
