Tina's Scrapbooking Creations

Well I guess I will start with a little about myself. I am 29 years old and have been married to my
husband Eric for 9 years now and we have four children together. Our boys are Lucas (8), Reuben
(7) and are girls are Peyton(5) & Kaylin (3). My children keep me quite busy along with giving me
many inspirations to scrapbook. We live on a farm which also keeps me/us busy. I do not milk the
cows but the kids and I have about 19 goats to care for. I grew up outside Winchester and currently
live about 3 km from my original homestead. I grew up knowing that I had one full brother, Andy
(younger) along with two half brothers, Tom & Bill and two half sisters, Patty & Connie who are all
older than myself. Just recently (May) Andy & I were told that we have another older brother out
there. My parents gave him up for adoption. In July we reunited with Jason (+wife & kids) and the
whole situation has been a great and life changing experience for all who are involved.

On the scrap booking side I just started to get into this form of expression about two years ago. It
started with a “Creative Memories” party then “Stamp’n Up!” and I was then quite eager to take some
classes to learn new techniques and socialize with other scrap bookers. One reason I would like to
be on the design team is that I love getting/seeing new products to try and finally use on a
scrapbook page or card. Trying new products/tools sometimes makes the page/project go faster or
by just looking at (for instance paper)it might give me the inspiration needed for that one photo you
wanted to show case or didn’t know what to do with. I work better under pressure for me deadlines
are probably a good thing. The best time for me to scrap is at night after my kids have gone to bed
or I will tend to go out to be inspired by other scrappers. Asking my husband if this or that looks right
doesn’t seem to help, but asking another scrapper what I should do on the page helps me to step
outside the box and try something different. Looking at their projects or pages gives me motivation
to try it as well or to even take a small piece of it and use it to my style of page.

I hope this gives you a little view of myself.
