I am a high school English teacher and I adore my job despite the long hours and sometimes chaotic days. It is a guarantee that no two days will ever be the same. I started scrapping about five years ago when my little sister invited me to her Stampin Up party. I wasn’t necessarily hooked on stamping but I loved the making scrapbook pages aspect. From there I started frequenting the local scrapbook shop, reading magazines, and checking out online scrapbooking.
On a whim I decided to try out for the design team at a kit club and have been lucky enough to be on that team for about three years now. From there I branched out to manufacturers like Elle’s. I was also on the design team for Buzz and Bloom before they closed their doors. The part I love most about this hobby is the awesome friends I have made who I would probably not have met otherwise. They are all over the country and though they may all be at different points in their lives than me, we are brought together by this awesome hobby.
What is your current favorite color combo?
My favorite color combos right now are pretty much anything paired with gray.
What is your favorite scrapbooking supply?
Elle’s Studio tags of course! But I also adore patterned paper, my Cricut, Thickers and my embroidery floss.
Why do you scrapbook?
As I said before, I started scrapping more so because it was fun to put pages together. I then started scrapping more so for all the cool product I wanted to play with. Now my pages are about telling a part of my story. Memories I want to be able to hold on to and share with my kids and grandkids some day down the road. My favorite pages are usually the ones that have a lot of journaling.
Who inspires you?
With regards to scrapping, I am inspired by people who have great design taste. The design is what hooks me more so than the products. There are so many blogs I creep all the time such as Jana Eubanks, Davinine Fiero, Elizabeth Kartchner, Kinsey Wilson, Kelly Purkey and of course the girls here at Elle’s Studio! Personally, I am inspired by my mom who has the most giving and compassionate heart of anyone I have ever met. She inspires me everyday to be a better person and to believe in myself as much as she believes in me. Thanks mom!
What is your favorite thing about scrapbooking?
My favorite thing about scrapping, aside from finishing an awesome page and having it turn out just the way I wanted it to is the lifelong friends I have made. We met online and have met in person for CHA shows and those are some of my most favorite memories.
