Thanks for checking out my resume! As you can see, I am an avid scrapbooker and have devoted myself to creating lasting memories for myself and my family. I have been published in both on-line and paper magazines, written for an on-line business ezine and feature articles for paper magazines. I have also taught Make N Takes at CHA events and at my local scrapbook store. I enjoy teaching new techniques, writing articles and maintaining an active presence in the scrapbooking community. I love being on design teams because they allow me to inspire others and truly be part of a community. I look forward to working with you in the future!
