I’m originally a small town Kansas girl and currently live in Topeka, KS. I graduated from Washburn University and subsequently attended Washburn School of Law, but I’m a Kansas Jayhawks fan through and through. I’m a corporate attorney by day and a scrapbooker by night. I love to read, travel and, of course, be crafty!

What are your go-to and must have scrapbooking products? I loved kraft paper before kraft paper was cool. Now I’m addicted to my Tim Holtz tiny attacher and punches. And I might have a rather extensive collection of alphas, but who’s counting?
Why did you start scrapbooking and how did you get started? I saw a scrapbook booth at a craft fair while I was on a college break and my interest was sparked. I loved the combination of art, writing, and graphic design, as well as the element of memory keeping.
Who or what inspires you? When I’m feeling most creative, I randomly sketch layout ideas. I usually have photos or a general concept in mind when I’m sketching the design, but it doesn’t all come together until I sit down with my photos and literally surround myself with products. I draw on the colors in my photos for inspiration, gather up products that enhance those colors and go from there. I always gravitate toward clean lines with a focus on strong titles.
What is your favorite thing about scrapbooking? I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I love to shop for scrapbooking products! But, in all honesty, my favorite part of this craft is opening up an album and reliving the special memories that I’ve captured.
Where do you scrapbook? After many years of scrapbooking on the living room floor, I’ve recently dedicated an area in my basement for crafts. It’s still a work in progress, but I’m excited about how it is coming together.
