About Me
I’m a wife and mother of three beautiful children who give me lots of scrapbooking material. I have been creating scrapbooks in some capacity since I was a teenager but became introduced to it formally in 1998. It has merged my love of photography with my creative passions. I have found my calling in the world of teaching scrapbooking techniques. I have been seeking a Design Team position that would not only offer me an opportunity to grow and stretch and be inspired but also one that my talents would contribute towards the growth and success of that company.
