Everyday Memories

Annette Green
I’m Annette and I live in Travelers Rest, South Carolina with my husband, Paul, whom I've been married to for 33 years. Crafting has been a passion of mine since childhood. Early on, I worked as a graphic designer, and once our daughter, Jamie (who's now a children's book illustrator), came into our lives I transitioned to working from home. It was then that I began pursuing crafting as a side business. Over time, this hobby evolved into a full-fledged career that has taken me on exciting journeys across the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean, where I teach paper crafting classes.
I am thrilled to have my own Everyday Memories line with Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Andrea Algar
Hi, I’m a 60-year-young crafter, proud mum to a daughter and son, grandmother to two amazing grandchildren, and a devoted puppy parent! I live in a small valley town in South Wales and by day, I work for the Welsh Government, but my evenings and weekends are dedicated to family time, dog walks, and indulging in my passion for crafting.
Making and creating has been a lifelong love of mine, starting at a young age with knitting alongside my grandmother and over the years, I’ve explored crocheting, sewing, cross-stitch, beading and card-making.
My journey with Elizabeth Craft Designs began in early 2020, and the ECD Facebook Lives during COVID became a creative lifeline and they continue to inspire me every day! I fell in love with memory-keeping and can proudly confirm that I’ve been an ECD addict ever since and am excited to be on the Everyday Memories team!

Hello fellow craft enthusiasts! I’m a long-time crafter going back to my days of 12x12 scrapbooking first with Creative Memories, then with Close to My Heart, and also Stampin’ Up for cards (a consultant for all three). I made scrapbooks for my two sons since their birth through high school, scrapbooked my own personal memories, and made scrapbooks for my grandson and granddaughter who are now in college (seven 12x12 for each of them!). I started transitioning from my personal 12x12 scrapbooking to Journaling when first introduced to ECD during Covid and am a fan for life – they are the Cadillac for stamps, dies, and more.
I started with art journaling but now mainly focus on memory keeping and card making. Oh, and I love and look forward to the December Day-by-Day journal challenges! I attended two of their annual Banff creative retreats in 2023 and 2024 - what a fabulous experience meeting the owners, learning from the best designers hands on, and meeting up with FB friends.
I was on Annette’s Design Team in 2024 and am excited to return to her 2026 team introducing her new Everyday Memories collection. -

Denise Settles
Hi — this is Denise with PaperKraftD. I love all paper crafts, and I see no reason I should choose just one! Most recently I have been focusing on journaling and planning. I’ve been incorporating journaling and mixed media in my planners for a while now. And I’ve started using planning elements in my journals. They are both beautiful and functional. I’ve been paper crafting for over 25 years. I taught classes at my local stamp shop and scrapbooking stores about 10 years ago: mini albums, tags, and multimedia journals were my specialty. When they closed their doors, I started doing online tutorials. I love sharing my paper crafting adventures and building a community of creative people who embrace the tactile arts.
I hope you join me on my paper crafting adventure, as we explore all that Elizabeth Craft Designs has to offer paper crafting enthusiasts. Kraft on!Find my social accounts on my Linktree!

Diane Prince
My name is Diane Prince and I live in North Quebec, Canada. I worked as a teacher and educator for Youth Protection Services for most of my professional life. Crafting was one of my most important tools to help the youth restore their self-esteem and rebuild their sense of hope. I have been crafting ever since and I enjoy making cards mostly, but also, small photo albums and other gift projects. I'm absolutely delighted to work with ECD's passionate team of designers and beautiful people behind this brand. I hope I'll inspire you to play and have fun!

Kim Gowdy
Hello from Alberta, Canada! I am so excited to be joining Annette’s Everyday Memories design team! I have been a forever crafter. Honestly! I can remember hand sewing clothes for my Barbie with my BFF when I was in elementary school! My love for paper…just as long, we had a small town print shop where I lived (many moons ago!) and I would go in frequently to get off-cuts! Those early childhood moments have evolved into an adult passion that merged my love for photography and paper into memory keeping.
Until recently I have been an avid 12 x 12 scrapbooker and card maker. Last year after attending the amazing Banff retreat, hosted by Elizabeth Craft Designs, I nose dived into the memory keeping world and realized how FUN it was despite the challenge of working smaller…and well, here I am!
I look forward to hopefully inspiring you with ideas on how to use your dies, stamps and paper, there’s a good chance you will get a glimpse into the lives of my husband, only son and my fur baby Kona!

Since age 4, I've been immersed in art, from "Art School" games with my brother to holding after-school art classes in the garage. By day, I'm a wife and mom to two boys. As an artist, I make it a daily vow to create something, whether it's journaling, designing planners, painting, knitting, or teaching Cardio and Yoga classes.

Wanda Welsh
Hiya! Wanda here. I’ve been creative my entire life from watching my Father, an artist who painted everyday, to building communities out of play dough to later studying Architecture, Interior Design and eventually Goldsmithing. I grew up loving paper; I was a stationary hoarder! Truth be told, I still am! Once I was exposed to paper crafting, scrapbooking and Art Journalling, I was hooked! I live a quiet life with my husband and our fur baby Saint Sherpa. I create daily and find joy in the small pleasures of life whether at home or when travelling. I am grateful to be a part of Annette’s Everyday Memories Design Team and look forward to inspiring and being inspired by this amazing community of creatives!
