About me!  

My name is Susan and I live in Moncton, NB with my husband and two beautiful little girls! I have been scrapbooking for over 6 years and love being able to create page after page and project after project.  

My goal is to continue to be inspired by my sister scrappers, and ultimately to be able to work to promote your products and inspire others through my work.  

I always strive to learn more about this craft because with scrapbooking...there is no end to the creativity!  

Current Scrapbooking Style

 A mixture of freestyle, but a lot eclectic. I am very diverse in the techniques I use and enjoy creating pages using a sturdy cardstock background and brightly colored pattern paper. I enjoy inking, sewing, layering pp, doodling, and cutting out pattern paper to focus the eye on details of the design. My personal touch is added to each of my products by using handwriting, doodling, or coloring with my pencil crayons. My main focus is on creating layouts since I have so many pictures of my girls. I perfer to work with 12 x 12 layouts but have create 8.5 x 11 pages as well. I have started recently creating cards and have decided to add card making to my personal scrappy goals each month.

Thank-you
