Objective:
To preserve my family's photos & stories in a meaningful way while indulging my creative tendencies. I hope that sharing my work via design team positions will inspire others to learn more about this hobby that I am so passionate about.
My Style:
My style has been described as classic, mainstream and current. I design my pages around the message I want my pictures and journaling to tell. I love to use a variety of media & techniques such as distressing, layering, stamping & stitching. I'm equally comfortable creating pages in 12x12 and 8.5x11 formats.

About Me:
I am married and live in New England with my husband of 14 years and our five children. Life is never dull! I have an abundance of pictures to scrap and stories to tell. Scrapping offers me the chance to indulge my creative side while making something worthwhile for my family. I work outside the home as a Registered Nurse on a maternity ward at a busy city hospital. When I'm not working or scrapping, you'll probably find me driving my kids around to their many activities.
I discovered scrapping about 9 years years ago. It truly is my passion and my sanity saver. After the kids fall asleep, I turn on the tunes and make a mess with my supplies. I am always thinking about my next project - I even think about ideas for layouts while I drive my kids around or as I fall asleep at night! I guess you could call it an obsession. My family is very supportive and loves to see the end results of my creative frenzies.
