About Me

I was born and raised in Central Ohio, USA. I am a mother of 4 wonderful children, 2 boys and 2 girls, ages 24, 22, 19, and 17. I am Naani, to a 4 year old grandson! My life partner is Roy and he has 3 amazing boys, ages 16, 14, and 12.

I started paper scrapbooking in 1999, but it didn't last long, I found it expensive and hard to manage the collection of supplies and managing layouts when using a dining table to create, so I stopped sometime in 2000. I picked up digital scrapbooking in 2006, on a forum on the parenting site I was visiting daily. I also began designing professionally for Elemental Scraps and PickleBerryPop and a few other shops, but went on hiatus during a divorce and then again during my late adult college years. You may have seen me in other forums as rachelbrein or scarlettcharm.

I love scrapbooking. It serves 2 purposes for me. Creative outlet and preserving the random and poignant moments of my life.
