About us

Carin Grobe aka Min | digital designer, artist, needleworker, cook & baker, reader, gamer, VR nerd, married to my high-school sweetheart Alex, Mom to a grown-up daughter and Nino, our dog

My free time has always been filled with books and all kinds of crafts ever since I was able to hold my first crayon. Later in life I used to teach patchwork/quilting classes and have craft parties for children... before I was hooked by digital scrapbooking and fell utterly in love with it.

I first discovered digi-scrapping in 2006 when I was searching the net for scrapbooking supplies. One year later I started CT'ing – this turned out to become more and more challenging, because I ached to change colors and add things to the kits I worked with for my CT layouts. So I signed up for a couple of designing classes and learned a lot before I dared to put my designs out there for all to see in Summer 2009.

Even though I know life can be extremely difficult at times, I always try to find and concentrate on the happy, beautiful and fun aspects of it. I love to laugh and make others laugh and giggle with me and I think that's a big influence in my design style. Usually I start out with a theme or event as inspiration and work from there to create my collections – some are whimsical, others are soft and classic or even vintage – and I just don't want to give up one style for the other so you'll find very different types of kits in my store.

Inspiration for my designs usually come from all the things I love to do - traveling, gardening, going on walks, reading or geeking out with my family.
