About Christa

I have been a member of Kate Hadfield Design's Creative Team since Dec. 2011. I began dabbling in Digital graphics/digital signatures in 1998, when I first started using PSP. I switched over to Photo Impact, and since 2004 I have been using Photo Shop (and currently CS3) for all my digital layouts, cards, and photos. I love having a colorful creative outlet to express myself! (Oh and BTW, I am a "coffee-holic"!)
