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 Assignment #6

I actually had this done some time ago---there's a first for everything! On this assignment we were allowed to use whatever products we wanted to again with some different challenges. I have to say, for me--I actually did leave my little box for a second! I actually used the sewing machine (which was one of our challenges)! I admit that this is not the best job, but I was able to hide some really ugly spots! Using ghost letters was another challenge and I used the Heidi Swapp Ghost Letters and alcohol inked them--another first for me! A third challenge was to create a layout using circles. For this I used Technique Tuesday chipboard, which is the best to paint by the way. I painted some and used Crystal Accents to give it a wet look, used Tim Holtz crackle paint on others and covered the large circles with paper from Creative Imaginations. The 4th and last challenged I did was to use about 3 to 4 different textures. In addition to the different textures of the chipboard, I also added beading along the side. The brads were compliments of my fellow DT member, Lisa Johnson, who happened to be scrapin at the store when I was working on this.
