I enjoy mixing product and playful elements to create projects that are vibrant with a touch of whimsy. Patterned paper, buttons, flair, ribbon, tags, doilies, and mists are my go to products when creating pages that reflect the little moments of my life. I love layers and lots of bits and pieces. Title work is my favorite part of the process, I love the way it grounds the layout, and helps to introduce the story behind the photo. Every layout has a story to tell, sometimes a great title can say it all, but my layouts usually include a little journaling. My scrap subjects, although often people-focused, also include other important elements of my life. <br />

<b>About Me:</b><br />
I am a fun loving, kind-hearted, cheerful Canadian girl. I live under the wide open sky of Manitoba, Canada with my hubby of 19 years, our three girls (Isabelle(16), Théa(13), and Eden(12)), and Wilson, our very spoiled miniature poodle. The death of my mom 15 years ago, helped affirm to me how important this hobby is. There was so much I had yet to discover about her when she passed away. Scrapping is a way for me to ensure my girls have access to the real me: the mother,the wife, and the friend. I use this fun and creative hobby as a way to document not only people and events, but all the little things around me that lend themselves to the story of me, including pets, chores, the outdoors, sporting events, and even inanimate objects. When I'm not scrapping I can be found working as an Office Administrative Assistant, enjoying things like signing in the band at my church, volunteering at my girls' schools, teaching classes at my LSS, going for coffee with friends, or dancing once a week in a Adult Tap Class among other things. <br />
