S p o t l i g h t ! Featuring Shaker Member : LUCY MARINO!
Lucy Marino has been stamping and scrapping for the past 7 years now and she is loving every moment of it! She started on her creative journey while making gifts. Lucy explains, "I wanted to make a gift for my parents and in-laws one year at Christmas time, so I decided to make albums of my kids for them....after that I discovered Close To My Heart and loved their papers, then to my amazement realized they had rubber stamps, I was hooked after that." Lucy loves to spend her time scrapping at home where she exclaims, " I can get my hands on all my goodies!" She leans towards a more simple and uncluttered style but admits to following the passing trends of the day and is really interested in distressing at the moment. Lucy says her favorite-of-all-time technique would have to be stamping though. Being on several Design Teams keeps her active in scrapbooking and stamping. To date, her biggest accomplishment has been getting published in Stamp It Magazine. She states, "I have since been in three of their issues, but that was my first publication." Her next biggest accomplishment is "becoming a part of a new magazine called Correspondence Art." Lucy has also been a proud sponsor of The Shaker Grand Opening by donating her scrapbook kits, card sketch decks and stamp sets! They were a big hit with our contest winners!
