Personal Stuff
Well, I married my high school sweetheart. He went into the Marines and I went to a local juco to play volleyball. We now have two kids and two dogs and are stationed in St Louis. I love being a designer, I'm able to be that stay at home mom and also still run the house.
What does your typical day look like?
During the school year it's getting my oldest up for school and on the bus in time. I then clean up, run errands or design. My youngest goes to school in the afternoon. As soon as I put him on the bus, I'm headed to the YMCA to get a work out in then the rest of the afternoon I'm finishing up errands, designing or things around the house.
If you get a free moment, what are you most likely to do?
Turn on the DVR and see what I have recorded!!
Where is your dream vacation?
Probably Ireland
One thing about yourself others might not know about you?
I was a corrections officer in South Carolina while I was pregnant with my oldest
Three things you love:
My family, friends and food
Three things you hate:

Design background
When and how did you start digital scrapbook designing? I received a program for my computer from my mother in law for Christmas in 2004. I saw that it lacked what I wanted to do and I upgraded to PSE 2.0. From there I downloaded a weeks worth of tutorials from Scrapbook-Bytes then dove in! I started designing digital/hybrid and traditional product in 2005.
When and where do you design?
I have a scrap room with all my fun stuff in it. I usually design in the mornings or when my youngest goes to school in the afternoon.
How would you define your style?
I like to try new things all the time, but I think my style is a little shabby.
What are your top 5 favorite designs?
Round Vintage Cards

Holiday Memories












Falling for You












Spring Fling












Love Birds












What is your most popular product?
I would have to say that my shadow box series is still pretty popular.












Any scrapping tips and tricks?
Step outside the box and scrap your themed photos with papers and embellishments that aren't themed. You'll be surprised at the turn out!
What are you working on at the moment?
Right now I'm just working on finishing some things for Summer CHA. I do have some templates I'll be releasing soon as well.
What has been your biggest challenge as a designer?
I've learned that I can't accommodate everyone's scrapping needs, no matter how I design
What has been the biggest reward/most fulfilling part of being a designer?
I love seeing scrappers using my designs on their memories. It's a great feeling.
And since we are Scrapping Simply, what size pages do you usually print? I print 98% of my layouts at 12x12
