About Me

If you love all things paper crafting, then we are kindred souls. Give me some cardstock, stamps, inks, stickers and embellishments, and I will happily craft the day away making cards, mini-albums, scrapbook pages, journal layouts and more.

I’m a mom of two young boys, and an elementary school teacher in Ontario, Canada. In 2020, faced with another lockdown in my city due to the pandemic, I was trying to find some way to help pass the days, when I (re)stumbled upon paper crafting. Four years later, and I have not tired of this hobby yet. I love preserving family memories through journaling and scrapbooking, or making a beautiful handmade card to give to that special someone.

The Story Behind the Name

The name and logo of Arrows of Hope Designs stems from my personal experiences. While going through a difficult time in my life in my mid-20s, I heard the song “Follow Your Arrow” by Kacey Musgraves, and it struck a chord. Ever since, arrows took on a personal meaning, symbolizing the effort it takes to keep moving forward and forging your own path in life. Seeing a red cardinal can be a sign of hope, which we could all use a little of these days, and so Arrows of Hope Designs was born.
