Hello and welcome to Empire of the Cat Design.  I’m so happy to see you here because this is my favourite place to hang out when I am not making stuff – and after I make stuff, I come over here and write about it! Did you know that this was the first domain I purchased back in 2005 and it’s been a lot of things over the years but it has always reflected my crafty passions and favourite hobbies.  For a while, I didn’t have as much time as I would have liked to focus on my blog, and that made me sad, but I made a concerted effort to find that work/life balance that people are always talking about, and for the last couple of years, I have been able to spend so much more time here writing about what I enjoy the most.

I hope you enjoy reading about my adventures in mixed media, cardmaking and art journalling and checking out a tutorial or two along the way.  I really love to make things and as well as the above, I also love making books because I love books so much! I have been known to make other things too so you might see something different here from time to time.  What you won’t see here are AFFILIATE LINKS or POPUPS or NEWSLETTERS because I actually dislike all of those things so why would I have them here on my own site! If you want to find out more about me, just check out the links above.

Meanwhile enjoy my latest arty adventures!
