Crew Interview – Steph Ackerman

It’s time for another post in our 2017 Canvas Corp Crew Interviews. We are extremely privileged to be able to work with a group of over a 100 of amazing designers from around the world. They have all come together to create, share ideas, support each other, let us know what we can do better and remind us of what we are doing well.  Our Crew members contribute projects to our blog, design with our products on their blogs, create models for our trade shows, packaging and other fun little projects.  We love to hear what they have to say, to be inspired by their work and to learn new things everyday.
Today, we get to know Steph Ackerman.

Why is it your favorite project?
I love to upcycle and this chipboard bird house needed some love. I enjoy mixing and matching papers and creating with the large variety of Tattered Angels products to turn something bland into something fabulous.

Do you teach and if so tell us a bit about what you teach, where you go and some of your favorite places?
I teach card classes as well as mixed media/canvas classes in my Studio several times a month. I also teach scrapbooking classes at my local library each month.

I am the happiest doing…
having time to play time with my supplies. I love to pull out assorted supplies and see what I can create.

My favorite place to be creative…
My studio – it has everything I need and lots of room to create in.

Tell us one cool detail about your studio or craft space…
My studio encompasses my entire basement so I have the opportunity to spread out and create multiple projects at the same time.

Tell us one thing fun about you we might not know…
I like to eat chocolate and drink hot tea while I create.

Share with us anything about your creative life that you feel would inspire others…
Finding time to create every day helps take some of the stress out of life.
