About
I have been scrapping for 4 years. Most of the pages I do are related to my 4 kids (ages 12-18)and family. I love most any kind of paper and embellishments, and my style varies from clean to cluttered. My fav. stickers lines are Suzy's zoo and Karen Foster although I love most all of them. My favorite paper lines are Karen Foster and Basic Grey. I also love brads, fibers and other lumpy things. I have a sizzix and a few dies (cat, dog, pig, horse, pawprint, dragonfly, both tags, bitty doll with clothes, mittens) I hope someday to get an alphabet or two as well. I have tried embossing and stamping in my books, but don't use it much, probably because I don't have many stamps yet. I am really loving rub-ons and ribbons (my favorite scrappy things)!
I use primarily 12 x 12 pages, although a couple specialty albums are other sizes. Things I scrap regularly are soccer, basketball, track, hockey, fishing, hunting, camping, cabin, beach, zoo, friends, and school (grades 6,8,10,12). Some things that I don't use at all in my books are Santas, and most Halloween things, with the exception of pumpkins and spiders.
