Creating Connections
Our Vision
At franCTcreative, we believe in the power of crafting to foster community.
Francine knows this first hand. When she joined Stampin' Up! as an independent demonstrator her goal was to bring women and creativity into her almost all male life of engine rooms at sea.
When Francine's health took a turn that ended her Air Force career she again found herself looking for women and creativity as part of her healing journey and stumbled on Women Warriors' Healing Garden (WWHG).
At WWHG Francine found a way to heal and be healed through sharing her love of card making by running workshops sponsored by WWHG.
Now after over 30 years of service, Francine has retired and once again finds herself seeking community and creative outlets and so, created franCTcreative.
Our Purpose
We are a not-for-profit business that strives to create a welcoming space for veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, first responders, and their families to engage in card making. With workshops, tutorials, and community support, we aim to spread joy and creativity through our shared passion for crafting.
