Meet Your Studio Designers
We’re two gals — Karen & Wendy — from the Pacific Northwest enjoying our lives and pastimes. Much of our day is spent raising children, caring for our husbands and homes and working in professional careers just like all the other women we know.
Over the years our craftiness, doing the things we all love for relaxation, has developed into a knowledge and knack of designing cards, jewelry and pillows. Taking classes, attending workshops and keeping up to date on the newest trends and ideas is just plain fun!
With Love Always ™ showcases that fun in products you’ll love to enjoy. You’ll find we’re flexible, approachable and enjoy communicating with our clients. When you have a design idea or just an added touch to a product on our site, let us know!! We’re here to make those ideas come to life. Giving you satisfaction gives us joy. These are our #1 goals.
Karen - "With Love Always ™"
Except for a few years in Seattle and Memphis, I’ve spent most of my life in Oregon. About 7 years ago I leapt across the Columbia River from Portland to Vancouver, Washington to escape the busyness of a bustling city. Three daughters occupy my time along with 8 grandchildren.
My first experience with sewing was in high school in Home Economics. I made my Mom a bed jacket from a pattern my teacher helped me create. Something you don’t see in stores any more. As time went on I sewed for my girls, friends and myself.
Last fall my second youngest granddaughter, McKenna, turned 7. I wracked my brain thinking of an unusual gift she would enjoy. Since she loves to ride quads, I took a picture in her riding gear and designed it into a pillow. She was overjoyed with the gift and so were her young friends and their mothers.
So,came the idea to design fun, unique, and elegant pillows to express personality and flair for living. Something truly you!
Wendy - "Cards From the Heart"
Currently I am a stay at home Mom enjoying my husband and two daughters. I have been scrap booking for the last 14 years and making cards for the last 5.
Through my enthusiasm for scrap booking came my love for making cards. Soon after, I started designing cards when the occasion rose. My friends and family truly enjoy receiving them.
I often have scrapping and card making parties at my home. Both of my girls are very active, so I enjoy my down time in my craft room creating and designing my cards.
Once a month I attend a design and technique class learning new skills to produce beautiful and unique cards. Versatility is the key to constructing unique cards for all occasions. My cards are quite simple while others are more detailed. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them.
