Treasured Memories Design Team Bio

Tell us about yourself. What would like everyone to know about you?

I am married to a very cute bald man named Mike. I have 2 great kids, Jake, who is 10 and Regan, who just turned 7. I started to scrapbook for fun, now I am just plain addicted!

What is your scrapbooking style?

I have been told that I am linear. But I am also big into lots of pictures!

How long have you been scrapbooking?

My best friend and co-hort, Alice got me started about 6 years ago and I have been out of control ever since!

Who do you scrapbook?

Mostly my kids and family activities.

Name your top 3 tools.

Cricut, Crop-a-Dile and my new pair of scissors.

How are you inspired to get started on a layout?

I start with my pictures. I decide what my main photo will be to focus on, pick my paper out and just go from there.

Do you have any great tips to share?

Don't freak out if you make a mistake. Some of my favorite layouts were ones that I made a mistake on originally.

What is your favorite 3 embellishments?

Chipboard, stickles and of course bling!

What is your favorite paper line?

I don't have one. I am so obsessed, I don't care who makes them if they are cute!!

What is your favorite way to journal?

I really have to force myself to journal. I prefer to hand write vs. computer when it comes to my children's albums. I usually use a pre-made journaling box or make my own.

Design Team Challenge # 2

For this challenge we were given Buzz and Bloom chipboards and a sheet of lace cardstock from KI Memories. I found some pics taken at Avery Island at the Budda Temple and went from there. All of the printed paper is from Kaiser and the cardstock is Bazzill. For the journaling box, I used one of the Buzz and Bloom frames, painted it and used a piece of the laser cut paper as a masking and sprayed the frame with Glimmer Mist. For the large flower, I used Melt Art Embossing Enamel. I also heat embossed the smaller flowers and picture corners that were all from the Buzz and Bloom packet. The bling is the BonBon color from Doddlebug Designs. I did make a small step outside of my box as Melissa would say cause I have never heat embossed or worked with colors like that. I cannot wait to see everyone and their layouts! I am such a goober, I wish we could meet more than once a month!!!
