Hi friends! For those who don’t know me, I am a Canadian crafter, wife, and mom from Saskatchewan. I love to do something creative every day if I can. I love making cards, memory keeping, sewing, painting, and art journaling. I also love to teach! I am part of the education team at Crafter’s Companion USA and regularly contribute to the Honey Bee Stamps YouTube channel. I am obsessed with my grandson, and you will often see him in my memory-keeping projects. I also love thriller novels and I frequently listen to audiobooks while I am in my studio! I am excited to share inspiration with you this year!

No wonder you’re obsessed with your grandson… he’s a cutie. Love all your crafts I am a huge fan Mari.
Love your style Mari ! Great to see you back !
Mari, I have struggled to find a scrapbooking/cardmaking style. Your “white space” hit the sweet spot for me. I love your style. I love blue, blue, blue too, but you use the most beautiful color palettes outside of blue. Welcome to the Creative Team.
I’m a huge fan of Mari also. Your grandson is getting so big! Love all your layouts!
Always enjoy Mari’s classes, a great instructor
Oh I just completed some layouts you taught in the event. Loved it. Excited to spend the year with you. Welcome.
