Layout.  Design.  Paper.  Scrapbooking.  Technology.  The combination of my love for these things is what began this venture.

While studying journalism in Aggieland, I was able to hone in on my passion for layout and design, and also learn the theories behind them. Then after being introduced to some Adobe products in the basement of the Reed McDonald building during my sophomore year, I went crazy.  I practiced and taught myself all the ins and outs of the software’s capabilities.  I was fascinated by what I could accomplish on an old Apple computer, and I wasted spent a lot of time perfecting my computer graphic skills in both undergraduate and graduate school.   I was well on my way to what’s now known as digital scrapbooking.  It’s been a hobby that I’ve loved doing for many years.  The idea of turning my hobby into a business, though, was always just a dream.  I just never had quite the confidence or risk-taking mentality.

Then in May of 2007, I resigned from my teaching position to be a stay-at-home mom.  With my family’s and friends’ encouragement and support (and after an unsuccessful search to find that perfect birthday invitation for my daughter), I took that leap of faith to turn my hobby into this exciting venture.  I now can “work” on something that makes us both happy.  I get to use my technical know-how and creativity to craft unique designs and print them on high-quality paper.  And you receive a beautiful keepsake that you are proud to share with friends and family.

I feel truly blessed to be doing something I really love.  I am very passionate about creating a product that’s perfect for you in every way.

All layouts and most artwork on this site were designed by me.  Various graphics and patterns were purchased for commercial use, and comply with the designers’ terms of use policies.   Some photographs were taken by others, and are used with their permission.

I’d love to hear from you!  E-mail me, and let’s get started.
