How I Got Started — and How That Helps You

Sometimes the best memories are made while preserving the ones you already have.

I discovered scrapbooking in 2003 while living in South Dakota. At the time, women in my community often gathered to scrapbook, quilt, and share ideas. When I started learning how to scrapbook, it was so I could teach my children how to preserve family memories. I found a love for turning photos into meaningful page layouts we could all enjoy for years to come.

After moving to Portland, Texas, in 2022 and navigating a challenging season of life, I rediscovered scrapbooking through the Creative Memories® community online. While the tools and techniques had evolved, the joy of turning everyday moments into lasting keepsakes remained the same.

Today, I’m a Creative Memories® Independent Advisor, and I enjoy helping others discover new ideas, explore tools and supplies, and turn their photos into albums they can treasure for years to come.

What You’ll Walk Away With

When you spend time scrapbooking with me, the goal isn’t just to learn—it’s actually to create something you’re proud of.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A better understanding of how to use scrapbooking tools and supplies
  • The confidence to start your own pages at home
  • Finished layouts or projects you can add to your albums
  • New ideas you can keep building on
  • A creative break from your everyday routine

Whether you’re brand new or picking it back up after years, you’ll leave knowing you can do this.
