Hi, my name is Mai Larsen and I am the creator of a
Latina group called Creando Con Detalles. I am happily
married with four children, currently living in Rock Springs, Wyoming. I’m the new editor for a Spanish Newspaper in
our local community.
I have always been passionate
about crafting, but I have never had so much fun as I have in the past several
years. Shortly after my mom passed away
in 2008, I was invited to a cardmaking party, and it was love at first
sight. I was completely hooked with the
idea of using my current crafting skills with my new found hobby of
papercrafting.
Karen Lackey
Karen loves to learn new techniques and combine them in unexpected
ways. She has studied paper arts, paper making, rubber stamping,
encaustic art, mixed media techniques, sewing, metalsmithing, wire
working, bead stringing, glass bead making, off loom weaving, and more.
She’s currently exploring hand dyeing fibers and bookbinding.
Karen owns Starshine Salon, an artful gathering of vintage finds and
original designs. Starshine Salon is not a single place, but is rather
Karen’s gathering of art, artists and artifacts designed to delight and
educate, inspired by the salons of the 17th and 18th centuries, where
music was played, art was viewed, and ideas were discussed.
Karen has been sewing since she was a child, and learned to make
jewelry when she moved to Arizona in the early 1990s. She turned these
passions into a business in 1995, and later added vintage items to her
offerings. She started rubber stamping in 1996 and has been paper
crafting ever since

I am a mother of three and a crafty
scrapper. I have been crafting for four years
but I have always been dabbling in something artistic. I have designed web
sites and logos to promotional marketing materials.
Today I am a stay at home mom and I recently moved into a home with enough
space for a whole room devoted to my crafts. Who knew hoarding craft materials
in the bedroom closet could fill an entire room. I love mixed media and texture. I look forward
to a creative adventure with Sakura Hobby Craft!
Dale Anne Potter is a Textile Mixed Media Artist, Teacher, Coach, Speaker who lives in a small town in SW Saskatchewan, Canada.
