Hi I'm Annette

It all began with a simple joy—handmade cards crafted for family, each one a quiet gesture of love. In 2021, a gift from my husband—a Cricut Maker—opened new doors, turning a personal pastime into a blossoming creative journey. What started as pop-up cards on Etsy soon evolved into intricate, layered artworks that shimmer with light and emotion.

Today, Life in Shadows is more than a small business—it’s a reflection of care, craftsmanship, and storytelling. Every piece is made with personal attention and a deep commitment to quality and integrity. From moonlit lovers to mystical forests, each scene is designed to evoke wonder and connection.

We believe in the beauty of details, the power of handmade, and the quiet magic that lives in shadow and light.
