Expertise I specialize in computer crafting: designing anything from greeting cards to wrapping paper in Broderbund`s The Print Shop, PrintMaster or American Greetings CreataCard. I can answer questions on design, fonts, layout, construction, how to build templates and how to assemble designs into finished products. I use a wide range of crafting materials in my completed designs and can refer people to great products that will help make their crafts professional and unique.
