Why did you start scrapbooking and how did you get started? I started digital scrapbooking back in 2005, after the birth of my second son. I wanted to capture all these little things and was looking for some ideas. So I found my way into the digital thing and loved it from the beginning. After 8 years I finally found my way to the real paper scrapbooking. I cut the first piece of paper in February 2013 and was way too afraid! One of the things I really love about the digital thing is you can start over and over again without throwing anything away. I spent so much time in front of the computer that I am really happy I started the paper thing! I have my own big room, kiddos next to me, we’re laughing and collecting memories. And sometimes one of my boys starts their own layout. It’s amazing to see them growing into this creative hobby!
What are three products you can not live without? I really need color spatters on my layouts. So I can’t live without color sprays! I also love enamel dots! And I need little bits on my page like labels or die cuts… paper pieces! 
Do you record everyday moment or just the special ones? I would go with everyday moments but for sure there are special ones I need to scrap too. My life with three kids is full of moments I want to capture, but I also love to scrap a cup of coffee or some leaves. 🙂 
Thank you so much for sharing with us today and for your inspiring layouts, Jana! Make sure you her full gallery here!
