Hello everyone, we are Adele and April, a mother-daughter team working as Independent Consultants for Close To My Heart. We are beyond thrilled to be joining the Crop on the Cape vendors. We both really enjoy the art of scrapbooking and cardmaking and bringing new techniques to the table. We actually have a YouTube channel called Just Say Scrap where every Tuesday we introduce different crafting techniques. Adele has been a part of the CTMH family since 2013. April joined shortly after in 2016 and together we travel all over the NorthEast to bring the joy of paper crafting to hundreds of people each year. If you have any questions please email us at [email protected]. For pre-orders please let us know at least two weeks in advance. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Hi Everyone! I am SUPER EXCITED to be teaching at Crop on the Cape for the FIRST time! Let me introduce myself, my name is Lynne Forsythe. I am from a small town in Northern New Hampshire and have been creating since I was a child. I discovered paper crafting in 2006 and have never looked back! I love trying new things, then sharing them with anyone who will listen. I have an extensive teaching history from trade shows to my own Girl’s Night Out! I like to encourage people that, it’s GOOD to step outside of one’s “creative box” and try something new. You NEVER know what you might discover. I am known for my love of color and I’ll color anything I can get my hands on. If I was to classify my style, it would be Distress meets Shabby and ALWAYS has a flower!

Christine Jansen. I have been actively crafting for over 40 years – everything from sewing and painting to mosaics and marbling. When the Silhouette Cameo came on the market I was immediately hooked. I found a way to use it in all of my crafting. I have designed hooked rugs on it, made pattern sewing pieces, sketches for pillows. And then my grandson came along and with him tee shirts, emblems for costumes, wall décor and, of course, scrapbooking and cardmaking! I became a Certified Terri Johnson Silhouette Instructor in 2016 and really began spreading the word about all of the Silhouette products. My website is silhouettenewengland.com or I can be reached at [email protected]

Hello Everyone! I’m Linda Lang and I have been a Kiwi Lane Instructor for over 2 years. I have been attending Crop on the Cape for many years, just like all of you, and this year I get to join our wonderful vendors and help all of you have a successful weekend. Kiwi Lane is a relatively new company but the Play-to-Create system is getting a lot of buzz. It is a low tech, hands-on approach to scrapbooking and cardmaking that is perfect for longtime scrapbookers and card makers, as well as those who may just be getting started! This year they have added the Kiwi Club, a monthly club that offers members exclusive items including paper kits and designer templates. Stop by my booth and I will be happy to show you how easy it is to make your pages stand out and explain the new Kiwi Club.

Cheryl Mezzetti, the founder of Perfect Paints, is an accomplished designer and mixed media artist who has worked in the art industry for several years. Formerly, Cheryl functioned as a meticulous Education Director and Design Team coordinator for Creative Imaginations as well as Splash of Color.
Cheryl’s love of art was evident at a very young age, with strong influences and encouragement from her mother, aunt and grandmother. At the age of just five years old, Cheryl shared her “artistic” abilities by painting her kitchen walls with calamine lotion as if they were a blank canvas! Her love of design, color and texture only grew from there.
As an instructor, she has taught at a myriad of conventions and specialty stores throughout the United States, South Africa, Canada and Europe. Her love of education and passion for Art is mirrored in her unique style of teaching operating as an encouraging, entertaining and inspiring professional who focuses on attention to detail and perfection. Enrolling within a class led by Cheryl is undoubtedly a priceless exposure to unique styles of work, as well as personal development for each student within the subject of expertise.
