Creative Resume

Personal: 

I have been married for 13 years and have three beautiful children ~ 11 year old son and 7 year old twins (boy and girl).  We live in San Diego, CA.  I have been scrapping for the last 12 years and have loved watching the availability of supplies go from nothing to everything imaginable. 

Objective: 

I love to take on assignments, articles, and special projects for publishers and manufacturers.  My schedule allows me to give an immediate response and quick turn-around with quality craftsmanship.  My work has appeared at CHA, Memory Trends, and has also been aired on QVC numerous times in 2006 and 2007 for Die Cuts with a View.  I'm a published freelance scrapbook artist who loves to work with a variety of scrapbooking supplies.
