Meet one of your hosts of North Carolina Crafting Retreat, Cristena Bagne. She is passionate about crafting and bringing you a memorable experience. She believes creativity is the key to happiness, and that everyone has the ability to create beautiful things in your own unique and wonderful style.


 Cristena was with Stampin' Up! for almost 13 years teaching classes and retreats. She then found the world of crafting outside of the Stampin' Up! She found her love for Copic Markers. After gaining her certification as a Copic Instructor she began teaching at Hobby Lobby. Cristena has also been published in Making Cards Magazine for cards and tutorials. She was also featured in the Handpicked section of the magazine.

Meet your other host and Copic marker no-line technique specialist! Meadow has gained her passion for stamps and creating from her mother, who also teaches at NCCR.


Meadow has been using Copic markers and creating cards since she was 7 years old. Her style is no-line, all the way, her coloring, and soft, awe-inspiring cards. She has been on design teams such as A & M  Memories, Aurora Wings, Coffee Loving Paper Crafters, and of course  Crafty Stamp Co. which she co-owns with her mother. 


If Meadow is not spending time with her Bunny, Lollie, she is crafting, or scoping out Pinterest.
