About me:
I live in Connecticut with my wonderful husband , 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. Recently, I've been delving into the wonderful world of digital scrapbooking. I'm having a great time learning new things and working with some incredible designers! Please feel free to contact me at celestefsmith@gmail.com
