Artistic Scrapper was started by Shannon Watt- a part time massage therapist, full time Mom of three, and avid scrapbook enthusiast. She began scrapbooking 5 years ago, shortly after the birth of her first child. She's been a regular contributor in Creating Keepsakes and Simple Scrapbooks magazines, and has won HOF honorable mention for the past two years.



After years of seeking out unique handmade papers for her scrapbooks, she decided to open up her own online store in hopes of sharing her finds with other scrappers with her same passion for paper. With the help of a supportive scrapbook community, the site grew enough to start taking wholesale orders from retail stores. After a successful debut at HIA, she decided to join the Creative Imaginations family in hopes of making her papers and embellishments available to a wider market.



Outside of work and family, Shannon enjoys spending time improving her photography, reading, decorating (and re-decorating) her house, and scrapping of course!



Shannon tells us, "Our papers are all handmade by skilled craftsman overseas (Asia), and are dyed to a custom color palette that I created. The designs are made from recycled cotton rag material and other indigenous plant materials. We strive to keep the "organic & natural"look to our paper designs. Besides being eco-friendly, they are acid free, and cut to a true 12x12 specifically for our company. It takes over 2 weeks to make, dry and cut a single sheet of paper before it's shipped to the U.S."

"As for a teaser, I don't want to get into specifics, but you could mention that we are coming out with 3-d embellishments and other "organic" accessories inspired by Mother Nature like twine and ribbon made from plant reed. We will be debuting an alphabet sticker with a wood grain finish as well."

Be sure and look for these GORGEOUS papers at your local scrapbook store. Artistic Scrapper..."Scrapbook papers the way Mother Nature intended."
