Justin - AP SM

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 now the proud owner of the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store in West Babylon, NY! I’m completely addicted to crafting and take some time to make something every day. It relaxes me and is my wind down at the end of the day!

      1. 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!

  3. 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’ve just found you via Paper Craft Crew Challenges and love your work 😀 I’m relatively new to paper craft and am eager to soak up all the inspiration out here in blogland 🙂 I don’t have many tools yet but am a dab hand with a pair of scissors and double sided tape ;:D 😀 I shall be checking back as often as possible to see what new beauties you have created 😉

  6. 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.
