BIO: I’ve been scrapping since late 2006 when my daughter was just a tiny baby. I started to take more photos around that time (as does every first-time Mom, I’m sure!) and then needing something to do with all those photos, I somehow discovered digital scrapbooking.

My daughter is in school now. It makes my heart happy when I see her flipping through the scrapbook albums and when she asks me to tell her the stories on each page. That’s why I scrapbook!

5 PRODUCTS I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT:
Slightly messy stitches
Templates
Funky journaling fonts
Tattered paper and paper curls
The Galleries (Okay, this isn’t a “product”, but whenever my
inspiration is low, spending some time in the galleries is sure to get
me scrapping again!)

MY STYLE:
I am a paper-style speed scrapper. I have two little kids so I don’t
have tons of time to tinker with my pages. I pick a kit, do a quick
sketch (or choose a template), drop in the photos, the journaling and
the date, and then I add some elements, give it a final tweak, and
call it a day! I spend at most about an hour per page.

MY SCRAPPING IDOL(S)
Janet Phillips – She always get the story told!
Cindy Schneider – Her pages are just such a feast for the eyes, with
so much to see!
Nettio – Nobody mixes papers and elements like her! Such fun, fresh pages!

WHY I AM EXCITED TO BE ON THE TEAM:
I have been a daily reader since the day The Daily Digi opened!
Seriously — it’s on my homepage tabs so I can’t possibly miss it!
I’ve never missed a Digi Files issue either. I have found so many
awesome designers (and stores) through the Digi Files that I otherwise
would never have known. I love that TDD promotes learning tricks and
tips to maximize how to use all those great scrapbooking supplies.
