Let's learn a bit more about her:
Originally
from Orlando, FL. Currently living in
Yonkers, NY.
My husband
and I have been married for five years.
We have six rabbits and one guinea pig.
I am an early childhood teacher and also tutor at a learning center
part-time. I started “scrapbooking” in
college, when I would save cards, tickets, photos, etc. and put them into
Hallmark magnetic albums. In 1999 a
friend invited me to a Creative Memories party and I was hooked!! I have always been sentimental and loved
keepsakes. Saving memories in such a
fun, creative way as scrapbooking is my passion. Some of my other hobbies are baking, reading,
yoga, running, Yankees baseball, and shopping (for anything and everything!!)
My favorite
technique, although it’s not really a technique, is using kits. I like when everything is put together…it
lets me focus more on scrapbooking, rather than looking through what I already
have, which is way too much, to find something to use.
The most
I’ve completed in one “sitting” has been seventeen 12x12 pages and nine cards,
completed at an all day scrapbooking event.
Over Winter Break in 2011 (nine days) I completed sixty 12x12 pages!!
My biggest
challenge when scrapbooking is to say I’m done.
I’m always thinking “should I change that placement, should I use
different paper/embellishments”. I just
need to be happy and move on to the next layout! :o)
My favorite
scrapbooking tool is the Quickutz Revolution.
A friend got me hooked on Quickutz…now I don’t know how I ever scrapped
without it! I mostly use it for the
fonts. It’s great because you never run
out of letters, like you do when you use stickers or store bought die-cuts.
I confess
that sometimes I think I like buying the scrapbook supplies more than I like
actually scrapbooking! :o) ha ha
