Yvette Olea Creates - LV Handcrafted

Hello crafty friends. My name is Yvette Olea and you can find me as Yvette Olea Creates on all the socials.

I have been a crafter for most of my life and have dabbled in many different crafts, such as crochet, cross stitch, scrapbooking, card making and so much more. I was blessed to be raised by two loving parents and I credit them with making me the strong and loving woman that I am. I met the love of my life when I was still in high school and we have been married for almost 40 years. We live in sunny San Diego as do all of our children and grandchildren (sooooo lucky). I am the mother of four amazing children and grandmother of ten wonderful grandchildren.

I am now retired and have begun spending much more time playing in my craft room. I have always loved making and giving handmade items and have focused my newfound time and energy on making cards and other handmade crafts. I love to play with patterned paper to make handmade cards as well as so many other paper crafting projects. It makes my heart happy to give to others and to see the genuine joy in their faces when they receive a handmade gift.

I am forever grateful for the support and encouragement of this amazing creative community.
