I have been scrapbooking since 2001 when I first went
to a Creative Memories party and have been hooked ever since. I try
to scrapbook and craft daily at my house in a room that I have
dedicated to my passion. I love to be able to create and tell
stories. I think that it is so important to preserve our memories
through pictures and stories for future generations. I love to
create and design scrapbook pages and items to decorate my home. I
also enjoy teaching others about scrapbooking and crafting. I have
been actively involved in scrapbooking for the last eight years. I
have learned scrapbooking techniques from taking online classes
(both digital and paper) along with classes through Creating
Keepsakes University and those offered at crops. I really enjoy
expanding my knowledge of techniques.
My favorite scrapbooking item is and always has been
my ATG gun, but I am partial to Zip Dry Glue also.
What type of designer (traditional, vintage funky)?
I'd have to say I don't have a specific style that I could define
myself. I pretty much let my pictures dictate the type of LO I do. I
do like to grunge up my paper!
Favorite project? I really love to make mini books. I
love the fact that you can finish a project in a short period of
time.
Biggest challenge? I really don't like to make 2 page
LO. I really struggle with them. But I find cards challenging
sometimes too!
Scrapbooking book? If I wrote a book about
scrapbooking it would be titled Keep it Simple. I really seem to
like the simpler style.
Favorite color? Right now I'd say green. But I am
partial to brown and blue- guess it's having all boys!
Snack? I try not to snack when I scrapbook but if I
have anything it is usually Sour Patch Kids or something like that.
I try to keep anything sticky away!
Crop or at home scrapper? Right now I'd say I'm a
stay at home cropper but I do like to go to crops- I love to check
out other people's work!
Scrapbook wish list? Wow- that is a long list! I
think I'd love to have a Cricut Expression. Something I've always
wanted to try? I'd love to learn some of the techniques that Tim
Holtz does. He is just awesome! I am also intrigued by Glimmer Mist.
Listen to when scrapbooking? Right now I have a
eclectic mix of 80's music, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin and some top 20
music. It's quite the compilation!
Blogs/magazines I read: Cathy Z, Ali E, Donna Downey,
Tim Holtz, Pioneer Woman. I read Creating Keepsakes, Scrapbooks ETC
