I am currently a "Stay at Home Mama". I have a daughter, Shelby (10). And a little boy, Charelton (5). My wonderful husband is a Hairstylist and Salon owner. I love being a mom. I know it is the most challenging and rewarding job there is.
10 Things you probably don't know about me:
- I'm claustrophobic
- I'm an amateur photographer
- I hate getting "Dressed Up"
- I'm addicted to coffee- especially Starbucks
- I'm not a very patient person
- I'm a sucker for cool pens and notebooks
- I don't like talking on the phone (except to my Mama)
- I love being organized
- I enjoy being outside a lot....it's good for the body, and soul.
- I like being home
A desire to document my children's special moments encouraged my first layout about 5 years ago. Then my deep love for photography grew. And I've been a addict of them both every since.
8 Reasons I scrapbook our lives:
*A chance to highlight my photography
*A moment to reflect
*A time to express feelings and creativity
*An excuse to photograph everything
*A cause to wake up and expand on a vision
*A method to treasure multiple styles
*A reason to document reality
*My opportunity to preserve the past, present, and future.
Life is a series of events. Together. As a family, we are enjoying it. Growing and learning from each event. I want to continue to passionately journal our lives, just as they are. Reflecting on memories, and Creating art and history at its best----SCRAPPING.
Jocelyn Zeigler I have been scrapping on and off since I got married over 18 years ago. The difference is that I knew nothing of archival quality materials back then. I used some stickers but mostly I made my own embellishments out of construction paper. My style has changed quite a bit since then. I love embellishments and ribbon and patterned paper and ....I love all the stuff that goes with Scrapbooking. Why am I so passionate about Scrapbooking? I can share memories and thoughts, give encouragement and thanks, record real life to leave a legacy for family yet to be. My inspiration comes greatly from my husband Bill, my two boys Kevin and Kyle. I am truly honored to be a part of TableScraps Design Team! J

HarrisonI'm a graduate assistant at Ball State University working on a Master of Science in Accounting. I'm also busy planning a wedding. Steven and I have been dating for almost 7 years and will be getting married on June 24th. You'll see his picture in many of my layouts!
I started scrapbooking in the 7th grade, about 9 years ago. I would like to think that I have improved since then! I absolutely love scrapbooking supplies, especially paper. I have enough to keep me busy for years, but I still manage to keep finding more that I "need" to purchase! I don't get a lot of time to devote to scrapbooking, and when I actually find the time to sit down and scrapbook, I find myself spending most of the time organizing my supplies. One of these days, I hope to get caught up on the hundreds of pictures that I need to add to my albums. We'll see if that ever happens!
Kristin HuntemanBiography Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said, "In art, the best is good enough."
I not only consider scrapbooking a way to preserve my family's memories, but also a creative and artsy outlet -- my outlet.
I have been married to my husband, Chris, since 1998. We have three daughters, Paige, Cassidy, and Emilie. These four people are my inspiration for every page. We also have a cat (Sadie), a Welsh terrier (Colin) and two rabbits (Kip and Hershey).
My scrapping style varies from project to project. Sometimes I am very
linear and other times I have everything but the kitchen sink on my page.
I allow myself to go with the flow and do what feels right for that
particular project.
I am so inspired by people like Ali Edwards, Stacy Julian, Jenni Bowlin, Elsie Flannigan and Heidi Swapp, but I'm also inpired by the ladies that I have met that also share the same passion for scrapbooking that I have. These ladies are scrappers that I serve on a design team with, have met online in scrapbooking communities and even those that I have sat next to at a crop.
If I were to be stranded on a deserted island, these are the top 5 scrappy items I would have with me.
1. Adhesive -- lots and lots of adhesive. I love tape runners (Duck is
my preferred brand) and glue dots and glue lines.
2. Chipboard -- since I was introduced to chipboard, I find that 90% of
my layouts have some form of this product on them. I love chipboard letter
and shapes that can be covered with patterned paper.
3. Patterned paper -- I have quite a stash of patterned paper in my
studio. My husband jokes that I have enough patterned paper to allow every
man, woman and child of a small country to make at least one layout, if
not more.
4. Black pens -- I really can't remember when the last time I used
computer journaling. Last year, I started using my own handwriting as my
journaling and it just stuck. Since I am very rarely in the pictures, my
handwriting allows me to also be a part of the page.
and last, but not least........
5. FLOWERS -- I love flowers on my pages. Primas, silk, you name it, I
like it!
