ABOUT ME

Welcome to my website!
I’m Michele Rowley (pronounced Michael), and I’m so glad you’re here. After the closure of Close to My Heart, I joined Stampin’ Up! in May 2024 and never looked back. I’m passionate about scrapbooking, card making, and all things paper crafting—and I love helping others tap into their creativity too.

Whether you’re brand new to crafting or have paper in your veins, I offer in-person and virtual workshops, retreats in the greater Seattle area, and personalized help finding products that suit your space (or lack of space!) and your lifestyle. My goal is to help you feel confident and inspired every time you create.

On the personal side, I’m a happily married empty nester living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I have two amazing daughters, two wonderful sons-in-law, and a three spoiled grand-dogs. I love to travel, connect with crafters near and far, and share inspiration daily.

Join the fun and inspiration in my Facebook community group and follow along on my Evergreen Memories Facebook page—I’d love to welcome you into the circle!
