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.

March Assignment

This assignment was definitely a challenge!! We were given ghost shapes and a 12x 12 sheet of transparency from Fancy Pants. Also included was a doodling template that we had to incorporate in our layout. I cut the circles out of the transparency and used them to frame my journaling. I did add some Stickles (could not help myself--I love them and will Stickle anything that will stay still!!!) to help it stand out. I used my Cricut (George and Basic Shape cartridge) to cut out the flowers and the Doodle Charms Cartridge for the dragonflies. On the dragonflies, I used the doodling template as a mask on the wings, added Crystal Effects to the antennas and of course Stickles. I did go out of my box (nothing original but I am a lazy scrapbooker and hate to sew) and hand stitched the streams from two of the dragonflies. I used the hearts, the "LOVE" and the bracket of my ghost shapes and painted them with a paint dabber (a lot easier than using the "Stays On" pad).

Materials used:
Bazzill cardstock
Core-dinations (the torn piece) (love them by the way!)
Fancy Pants Ghost Shapes
Fancy Pants Transparency
Thickers blue vinyl letters (love them too!)
Dot Burst doodling template
Crystal Effects
Stickles--yellow, lime green and turquoise
Adirondack Acrylic Paint dabber in red pepper
