I retired from 20 years of government service to stay home and raise my children. I have been involved in arts and crafts since I was a child. More recently I owned a faux painting and home décor business and an online scrapbook store. I became involved in scrapbooking about two and a half years ago and was hooked. I love mixed media and making altered projects and mini albums. I have taught adult classes on basic scrapbooking and using various scrapbooking tools including: the Zutter: Bind It All and DreamKuts; Purple Cows Cutting Tools and Laminators. I love teaching people (young and old) to scrap, alter and create. I lost my Mother several years ago and inherited a box of unmarked photos to chronicle my childhood. I think mixed media is important (Art is important) and scrapbooking is important to preserve memories for future generations, something I wish my mother would have thought important too. I get my children involved in scrapping, making books and crafts, in general, as often as possible. I've made books, altered doors, built clocks and altered furniture...all in the name of crafting and, of course, FUN.<br /><br /><br /><br />Current Design Teams:<br /><br />Purple Cows<br />Zutter Innovative Products (Original Zutter Zister-OZZ)<br />Gecko Galz<br />Scrapperie<br />Jean's Art Dolls<br />Rockin' R Retreat Center<br />Scrapbook Haus<br /><br /><br /><br />Guest Design Team Appearances:<br /><br />Bad Girls Project 52 Challange Blog January Guest Designer<br />Art de Scrapz March (2010) Inspirational Scrapper<br /><br /><br /><br />Contributing Designer For:<br /><br />Heart of Texas Studios<br />My Town Papers<br />Texana Designs<br /><br /><br /><br />Previous Design Teams:<br /><br />FriendScraps<br />ScrapBook Fever<br />Making Memories For You<br />The Shaker Box<br />Scrapbooks N' Stickers<br /><br /><br /><br />Accreditations:<br /><br />PrimaDonna: Prima Endorsed Artist Educator<br />Tattered Angels Educator<br />Copic Certified Designer<br />Certified Fiskars Demonstrator<br /><br /><br /><br />Industry Products Designed:<br /><br />Zutter Spinner Album Kit<br /><br /><br /><br />You Can See My Work In:<br /><br />Scrapbook Update, November 15 ,2009<br />Zutter Around The World Idea Book, 2009<br />ScrapScene Blog, January 2, 2009<br />Magazine of Memories, January 2009<br />Magazine of Memories, December 2008<br />Ready, Set, Create Christmas Card Sampler 2008<br />Magazine of Memories November 2008<br />Scrap N' Art November/December 2008, Editor's Choice <br />Scrapbook News & Review, October 2008 <br />Ready, Set, Create, October 2008 <br />Magazine of Memories, October 2008<br />Magazine of Memories, September 2008 <br />Ready Set Create Back to School Sampler, September 2008 <br />Scrapbook News and Review, September 2008 <br />Magazine of Memories, August 2008 <br />Magazine of Memories, July 2008 <br />Magazine of Memories, June 2008 <br />Magazine of Memories, May 2008 <br />ScrapStreet May 2008 <br />Magazine of Memories, April 2008 <br />Discovery Alley, ScrapStreet, April 2008 <br />Birthday Special Edition, Ready Set Create, April 2008 <br />Magazine of Memories, March 2008 <br />ScrapNArt June 2008 <br />Ready Set Create Ezine, April/May 2008 <br />Making Memories For You Ezine, February 2008 <br /><br /><br /><br />Blogs I Host (present and past):<br /><br />Bind It All Blog<br />Simon Says Stamp (featured artist)<br />Craft Critique (featured artist)<br />PrimaDonnas<br />Making Memories For You<br />Fiskateers Blog, October 24, 2008 <br />Scrap Scene Guest Poster, September 18 & 19, 2008 <br />Scrapbook Update, Nobvember 15, 2009<br /><br /><br /><br />Contests and Challenges:<br /><br />Bad Girls Project 52 Guest Designer Challenge<br />Finalist: Clear Albums.com February I Love You Contest<br />Bind It All Book Contest Grand Prize Winner<br />Making Memories For You Scor-it Blog Challenge, October 2008 <br />Bind It All Book Contest Finalist, August, 2008 <br />{Some} Assembly Required, July Challenge, 2008 <br />Eye-Lets Etc, Let's Blog Contest, August 2008 <br />Design Team Flavor of the Week, Paper Popsicles, January 27 - February 1 2008 <br />10th Day Challenge, New Techniques, 12 Days of Christmas Challenge, Scrapbook Oasis, December 2007 <br />Clear Projects, November Contest, Scrapbooker Online, December 2007 <br />Trash to Treasure November Challenge, Heart In Hand Scraps, December 2007 <br />I Can See Clearly, November Challenge, Couture ScrapBooking, December 2007 <br />Delish Designs Decorate The Tin Contest, ScrapBook Crossing, February 2007<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1159005717120581430-1808321169244800697?l=texasscrapaddictresume.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>TxScrapAddicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06242412032392501548noreply@blogger.com0
