About

My name is Justin Krieger and I’m techie that does computer consulting. I live in Long Island, NY and I have a wonderful daughter Taylor and Mini Schnauzer Winston. I have always done some kind of paper crafting ever since I was little when I made entire car dashboards out of oaktag. I discovered my love of card making in January of 2010 while watching a show on PBS. I saw them make a waterfall card and I thought I can do that so I went out and got some supplies and made one. My friend introduced me to Stampin’ Up! in August of that year and I became an Independent Demonstrator in September. I am completely hooked and take some time to make something every day. It relaxes me and is my wind down at the end of the day!

    Very cool card Justin! All mine are flat! LOL I’ll have to give 3D a spin. Oh, and I’m with you with all the Apple stuff too!

        You are welcome! No hard feeling, I am PC user…never tried with apple stuff! I have been thinking of buying IPad 2 from a friend to start from the scratch as a new beginner. Also I am Tim Horton iced cap and coffee fanatic!

    I love your blog….I stumbled on it after I saw Sandy Mathis’s site on the blog tour! She made this cute box and credited it to you! So I had to click on the link she provided and then I saw all your cute creations.

    Would you mind sharing the template for the box? I’d love to make a bunch for gifts! Oh, and I’ve bookmarked your blog, so I’ll be looking at it frequently! 🙂

    Thanks,

    Kathy

    Hi Justin, I found you through the Tic-Tac-Toe, Paper Players Page (WOW say that three times fast!) I too live in Long Island, NY (Massapequa) and was wondering what town you live in and if you hold any crafting nights, or workshops, etc? I am only making cards for 18 months. I have a small group (of SU friends, here but they have been SU for many, many years and it seems their time is very limited. Thanks a bunch.

    Hi Justin. I’m a demonstrator up in Maine and have seen you on Brian King’s blog, including the fun zip-line adventure the two of you had. : ) I just had a “man stamper” join my Stamping Peace team, and I have sent him to check out your blog (and Brian’s). Hope you don’t mind! Cheers, Dawn
