A bit of inspiration from Scrappin' Sheila ....

Prior to having our own Scrapbooking Store, I was a Designer & had the pleasure of completing hundreds of memory keepsakes for clients from across the US & Canada.  It was an incredible experience.  My most memorable project was working with the Ronald McDonald House here in London.   A 20 year anniversary album was created, capturing the stories of 20 families & how the House helped them through some very difficult & emotional times.   I was so touched and moved by their stories ... and meeting some of the families, well - you can only imagine how it touched my heart.... 

Preserving our memories is such a priceless gift for our loved ones.  Generations from now our memories will live-on through this wonderful hobby of ours called Scrapbooking ....  I have two incredible daughters; now 7 & 11 and I am blessed with the most supportive husband ever ... my family & friends simply rock!

Just recently I've fallen in love with stamping ... I swore I'd never do it & now I am sooooo hooked!   The Copic Markers are incredible to work with - so rich and vibrant.   With a little help from my friends (ROSE!), I'm now learning to put my work into cards (although I can't imagine parting with any of them!!)   I used to paint, and this brings me back to those days on so many levels.  So relaxing!

Below you will find a few layouts .... hope you enjoy them & they offer a bit of creative inspiration for you :)  Check back often as I will continue to update this page ... click on any image to enlarge :)
