Lisa Kettell Designs Artist Spotlight: Cathy Candolfi

As soon as I laid eyes on one of Cathy's pictures, I was smitten. Cathy has been a valued customer of Lisa Kettell Designs products. Recently Cathy shared with me some of the artwork she created using some of the embellishments in the Lisa Kettell Designs line of embellishments.

All I can say is WOW, I love what she has done to the embellishments. If you wanted to escape to a circus-y world then these pieces will definitely transport you there. Every character from the circus world has made an appearance. The Strong Man, the Lion Tamer, they are all here ready to put on a show.

Cathy's creative spirit and magic have inspired me to get back to creating with more color. To re-visit the world I lived in during the making of my book Altered Art Circus. It was a world of magic, mystery and intrigue. It captivated children and adults alike, bringing our imagination to life.

I hope Cathy's works and use of our products will spark the creativity in you and help you create your own magic filled world.

Meet our new design team aka creative team for the 2013-2014 roster. Today I'd like to introduce you to Tanya Wedhorn-Watts.

Tanya and I met several years back during a Ranger Certification course, where we came together as a team to learn various techniques and projects via Ranger and their designers. That artful bond and support continued through the years bringing us together again as Tanya has joined the team. Her work exudes passion and strength. Her cutting edge techniques and talent within the mixed media realm, brings a whole new element to the Lisa Kettell Designs Brand.

Inks, paints, layers, canvas, found objects all come together as key essentials in Tanya's works. I'm so excited to see what she will design during the coming weeks. Her works will bring out the creativity in you.

 A little bit about Tanya:

Ranger educator since 2008. I paint angels and mermaids and other pretty girls. I love altering whatever I can get my hands on, I often recycle old objects to give then new life.

 Design Team Spotlight, Meet Debra Famularo

Meet our new design team aka creative team for the 2013-2014 roster. Today I'd like to introduce you to Debra Famularo.

Debra has been a big supporter of Lisa Kettell Designs brand of products for years. She has a whimsical imagination that comes to life in her projects. Her unique trendy style and cutting edge approach is a perfect fit for the Lisa Kettell Designs brand.

Pixies, Princess, Sugar, Spice and Wonderland Nice, are just some of the topics she creates around in her work. Mix in a positive spirit and Debra's works will spark your creativity.

 A little bit about Debra:

"Since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated with world of creating. But it wasn’t until having my son 16 years ago that I discovered the art of scrapbooking, and that’s when my passion took off!

At that time, there weren’t any ‘pretty’ scrapbooking accents in the marketplace, so I developed my own line of 3-D punch art called “button kisses” using buttons, pearls,rhinestones and other embellishments and sold my work on ebay and to scrapbooking stores. After that, I went on to create pre-made and custom scrapbook layouts on ebay. 

A few years back, HSN held a national scrapbooking contest where I was honored to be one of ten semi finalists. More recently, I have had the pleasure to be on design teams for A Kiss on the Chic, The Pink Ninjas, and was the lead designer for The Paris Hilton Creativity Collection where I had the unique opportunity to design with a line geared to encouraging young girls to be creative.

Being asked to design for Lisa Kettell Designs is truly magical for me as I have created with and adored Lisa’s beautiful creations for many years. I am honored to be a part of her talented team of artists and I hope to continue bringing out that passion of creating in others!"
