———————————–Paper arts designer and teacher ———————————-
After several years in customer service and managing a scrapbook store I decided to focus on designing and teaching- and started May Flaum Designs. From designing pages and other projects for publication to teaching at local scrapbook stores and events- the goal is simple. Inspire creativity in consumers while promoting great products.
