Hi, I'm Darcy and I live in Illinois just a jump from Chicago. I've been married to my hubby Joe for almost 16 years. We have been blessed with four amazing children, Jessica & Ryan are 13, Christopher is 7 and Nicholas is 2. I love, love all things creative & crafty. I've been scrapbooking for 11 years. I am a photographer who loves to stamp, make cards, make my own jewelry, do paper crafts & have even dabbled in mosaics. My very first die cut machine was the old, manual red Sizzix. I actually still use it, though now mostly for embossing. I started designing my own digital files when I got my Klic-N-Kut Element. Designing came naturally to me because of my background working with desktop publishing & advertising. A little more than a year later I upgraded from my Element to the KNK Groove so I could cut bigger files. I love designing digital files, which I sell at the Visual Designs by Chris store. I also love all the wonderful things I can do with my digital die cutting machine, and hope to share that passion on this website.
