About me

Hi everyone! My name is Alexandra and I live in beautiful British Columbia, Canada with my dog Olive. 

I took up cardmaking relatively recently, hence my username of Rookiecardmaker! I started cardmaking in 2021 because I needed another hobby to keep me occupied with the pandemic still raging on and I was immediately hooked! In addition to cardmaking, I’m also a knitter, baker and avid reader. I gravitate towards creating fairly clean and simple cards with bright colours and sparkle!
