Hi! My name is Jennifer Chapin. I am 27 years old, born and raised in Iowa. My husband Adam and I have a 20 month old daughter, Keira, who is the light of our life and makes for a lot of fun times. Never a dull moment in our house! I have been scrapbooking since 2006. I try not to think about it 24/7, but it rarely works. 🙂 I work outside the home as an RN, but after Keira goes to bed and on weekends, you’ll find me in my scraproom. I also love to cook and bake, and have a pretty large recipe and cookbook collection.

What are your go-to and must have scrapbooking products? I would have to say that my number one go-to tool is my sewing machine. I inherited a Viking from my grandma, and once I learned how to use it, I haven’t stopped! I also have a large collection of alphabet stickers as well as journaling tags and bits. That is why I love Elle’s products so much. I love finding new ways to incorporate tags, cutting, punching and altering them to fit my page.
Why did you start scrapbooking and how did you get started? I was actually first introduced to card making in 2006 when I wanted to make thank you notes for my bridal shower and wedding. Shortly after that, my sister and I took a trip to the local scrapbook store and I was hooked! I loved the idea of documenting life for our children and grandchildren to look back at someday.
What is your favorite color combo? I had to think about this one! I would have to say that pink is one of my go-to colors, especially when scrapping my daughter. I tend to use a lot of teal, yellow, and gray as well. I usually use white or brown cardstock for the base of my layout.
Where do you scrapbook? I am fortunate to have my own little room to scrap in, and though it’s a little small, it’s all mine! 🙂 We have a room off of our bedroom that I believe was originally a nursery. A couple years ago, my husband helped me paint and install desks and shelving for my supplies.
What is your favorite thing to listen to or watch while creating? Usually I will just listen to the radio. We have a local station that plays a good mix of 80s/90s/current music that I enjoy. I can’t watch TV as it distracts me from creating.
