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.

I am finally getting around to posting a layout I did from our Disney trip. This is not my favorite, but my husband likes the wizard hat I made, so I used this one. I am anxious to start working on my Design Team Assignment! I can't wait to finish it--I may bring back stickers!!!! And to my dear DT friends, I saw your faces when I said I will be silhouetting a pic--I am bringing that back too!
