Objective:
To have more of my scrapbook designs published in magazines and/or idea books. I am also very interested in becoming a Design Team member either for a store or manufacturer whose products I love to use and can effectively market through my designs.
About Me:
I am a full-time working mom whose obsession for scrapbooking is a creative release in an otherwise 'rational' life. I have been married to my husband, Justin, for nearly a decade and it is my daughter, Kaitlin, who indirectly initiated my love of scrapbooking. I work as an Enrollment Counselor for a Midwestern private college and enjoy my work in helping students to begin an educational journey that will all them to achieve their goals.
