Helloooo, I’m Mackey Stanley. I’m back for my third term as a Sweetheart and it is an honor to be serving as the creative team coordinator for this magnificent group of designers!

I have a love of all things artistic, from paper, colors and photography to music and nature itself. It is this love affair with the arts that nourishes my desire to scrapbook. I have always collected snippets of paper, crayons, and newspaper clippings so I say that I have always been a scrapbooker at heart. Scrapbooking, however, is not the only interest for me in this genre. I adore altered arts and the opportunity that it affords me to use all of my scrapping supplies blended with the crafting techniques I love.

I am fortunate to be a published scrapper in issues of Scrapbooks, etc., Memory Makers and their book series, several online e-zine publications, in Creative Concepts’ “Stamping Stationery and Scrapping,” the magazine published for Hobby Lobby and for their book series, including “Scrapbooking Beyond Your Imagination.” I am the author of several articles and conduct workshops and classes on scrapbooking, altered arts and My Life’s Journey topics.

Most importantly, I am a wife and mother of three amazing kids ranging in age from 15-24. They are my life, my joy and my muses.

I could not be more thrilled to be a ScrapLovers’ SweetHeart and to be part of this wonderful team of creative designers!
