About

Hi,

Welcome to CAJ Designs!

Who am I and what do I do?

I CREATE.........it's that simple.

Whether it is a template design or a T/shirt that you are excited to wear or a piece to display in your home it must be BEAUTIFUL. It must make you HAPPY. It must be JOYFUL.

My name is Dora and my mission is to bring more sparkle into your world!

Do you love those tiny, sparkling, magical little rhinestones like I do?

Do you miss them when the fashion gurus decide for you when they are "in" or "out"?

From a little girl I loved a bit of sparkle and gravitated towards any clothing or item that played with light dancing into my world and making that moment in time just that little  bit more special.

Maybe it was because my mother was a very talented dressmaker specializing in Bridal and Evening wear. To this day I still hoard the many remnant scraps I stashed when she finished another masterpiece. My days were spent next to her keeping her company while I made dresses for my doll from Lurex, beaded embroidery fabrics, glorious French Brocade laces and hand sewn sequins. I had the best dressed doll in the neighborhood!

Throughout my life I constantly gravitated between 2 passions - the Creative Arts and Education. When I was a teacher I made sure that art &  imagination played a major roll in each lesson. I love to experiment so I have had failures but I have also had many happy accidents so I encourage you to play as playing will fill your creative side with joy. Sharing that joy is what keeps me creating.

So now I am blessed to be able to combine my 2 loves. Here you will find 2 ways to add sparkle into your piece of the world. You can either learn through my tutorials how you can use my instant download designs to cut and make your own projects for either friends and family or perhaps to manufacture your own range to sell or you can purchase the ready made items.

Whichever way you choose help spread the sparkle.

Reach out to me here for your personal requirements or help..... I cannot change the world but at least together we can make it a bit more beautiful :)
