Objective…
To share my passion for preserving memories through creative design work. Preserving your heritage should be fun and engaging. There is a wonderful variety of products out there that make scrapbooking, I enjoy testing out new techniques and teaching others.  I am available for design team work or special assignments with manufacturers and/or magazines. I am also available for private contract design work, demonstrations and teaching assignments.

A little bit about me…
My husband and I live in Sunny Florida, with our blended family of five children. I am the proud mother of triplets and two amazing step children, my mom always said I was an over-achiever!  When not designing fabulous creations, you will find me at the gym or outside running. We live a life dedicated to family, fun and good health.

Why I design…

Scrapbook design is a tangible way to pay tribute to the family that I love so very much. Not only does my scrapbooking allow me to create a family heirloom, it gives me that creative outlet that keeps me sane! My favorite part of scrapbooking is watching my children page through the albums while they read the stories and thoughts I have journaled about. They laugh and reminisce as they recall those moments that have been preserved forever. That's what it is all about to me.
