A Fond Farewell to Keri Sallee!
Keri Sallee is an incredible designer. She brings so much creativity to the table, and also a brilliant sense of how to make gorgeous projects with materials around your house. She would share so many projects made with just one sheet of paper, or just two. Her projects are so wonderful, and we wish we could have shared so many more. Today, we will highlight a new project never-before-seen, and some amazing projects and tutorials from her time on our Design Team. We cannot wait to see what Keri will do next. Her love for mixed media, creating, and life show through every piece of art she makes! We will miss her greatly.
First, we have this amazing Typography frame and Washi Tape idea from Keri. This is such a fabulous, quick, and gorgoeus gift idea! Learn how to make Washi Tape stickers with Keri's Snapguide below.
"This project is all about what to make when you need to make something last minute, but you want to make it homemade. It is super easy to find a great frame, mount a saying from any of the Graphic 45 papers and add some metal embellishments to the outside. Done. Super Easy!
For this project, I want to share with you one of my favorite new techniques: How to DIY your own stickers using Graphic 45’s Washi Tape." ~Keri

Keri was so amazing at creating with our cardstock flowers. She shares a tutorial below with so many amazing techniques with Couture flowers. We adore this tutorial and Keri's gift for teaching!
Keri's Cardstock Flower Tutorial
Keri was particularly talented at taking an idea and making something unbelievable with it. We asked her to do a tutorial with our 6x6 Patterns & Solids paper pad, and she came up with this beautiful album! You can even make it yourself with her step-by-step tutorial below. How amazing!

We mentioned before that Keri is a wizard at creating with few materials. The two following projects are perfect examples of the Keri magic! This album below is one she created out of just one sheet of 12x12 An Eerie Tale paper! How inspiring!
Keri's 1-sheet Mini Album Tutorial
The Precious Memories album below was made with just 2 sheets of paper! Wow. Check out her fabulous video tutorial for this beauty.
Keri's 2-sheet Mini Album Tutorial
Keri could make any collection or project shine. Like this altered Raining Cats & Dogs box with an incredible set of cards inside. Talk about the perfect gift for the pet lover in your life!
Keri has a knack for many things, including mixed media. We recently shared this incredible mixed media album using Artisan Style by Keri. It shows the other side to her vast talent. She does magical things with paint and paper! What's fun about this project is she used it as a planner for her craft projects, and then you could also store them in this beautiful album. A brilliant idea.
Keri showed us around Christmas how to make a 'Twas the Night Before Christmas gift bag and cards with few materials as well. The holidays are such a busy time, it's important to create many projects in a reasonable amount of time, and this is one great idea for that.
Make a Gift Bag from One Sheet of Paper!
This is a favorite project by Keri using Mother Goose. We are in love with this altered printer's tray with a hidden mini mini album!
Another gorgeous canvas from Keri using Time to Celebrate! Love how she incorporated our Tag Staples into this project.
This is a gorgeous Once Upon a Springtime tag from the amazing Keri.
What a brilliant "Happy Go Lucky" An ABC Primer altered Mixed Media Box from Keri. So awesome!

I have so enjoyed Keri's down-to-earth narration on her video tutorials. Haven't we all left glue on our work surface? Figured out a better way to do something after the project was finished? Misplaced our scoring tool and used whatever worked? These are the realities of life. Thank you, Keri!
