About me:
I live in Connecticut with my wonderful husband of ten years, Terry and our two cute boys, Adam and Sam. They are my primary scrapping subjects and my sometimes unwilling models.
Scrapbooking is my creative outlet. As a full-time competitive analyst at a large insurance company, my days are filled with details and numbers. My evenings are filled with patterns, color and design. A real stress reliever!

My style has been consistently clean and graphic with a bit of funkiness thrown in for good measure. I love clean straight lines and lots of color. Don't get me started talking about scrapbook product - I am a collector extraordinaire!

My objective is to continue to develop excellent working relationships with scrapbooking publications and manufacturers ensuring a steady stream of assignment work.
