Carissa Wiley

Carissa has been scrapbooking for over 15 years, and moved to teaching via her blog in 2009, where she continues to share video tutorials and instruction weekly. Carissa has taught several online classes -- among them those here at Scrapbook.com! She loves to share what she is doing with others and to watch as their creativity is inspired by what she is sharing. Carissa teaches because she wants people to know that they can do it too! I love breaking things down step-by-step and showing others that they can do what she does. It is Carissa's hope that people walk away from her classes feeling inspired and empowered.
