Fabrizio Martellucci

Hi everyone, My name is Fabrizio and I've been living in Britain for the past 19 years. The idea was to come to London back in '91 to improve my English and I never looked back ever since.

I've done all sort of jobs: McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Benetton ... a brief spot at University which didn't work out until I finally found my dream job in a bookshop off of Piccadilly Circus. 

What I didn't know at that time is that I was suffering from bi-polarism, so after an unfortunate series of events, I found myself crafting to distract myself from a chronic agoraphobia (9 years already), bi-polarism and finally diabetes (ain't I a basket full of fun? LOL). Anyway, paper crafting was and still is my saviour, I wake up thinking 'What am I going to make today?'  Paper crafting gives me focus and I enjoy it tremendously.

I've been extremely lucky to have been featured on Let's Make Cards magazine and will have a card published in the forthcoming Pagemaps 2 by Becky Fleck. I've also been making samples for various companies who have shows on the shopping channels called "Ideal World" and "Create & Craft." It's always thrilling to be thanked on air for my cardmaking work and I always turn a bright red. I'm also a Senior Reporter at CraftCritique.com where I enjoy reviewing paper craft products.

My style of crafting is quite eclectic, I like to try all sort of techniques and new paper combinations. I'm more a cardmaker than a scrapbooker but I do enjoy creating keepsakes for my friends and family members. I hope you'll enjoy my tutorials and quick, cardmaking projects.

Ciao ciao ! Fabrizio.
