Hello my name is Pam...and I am a Scrapaholic........
I am a 'Mother' to 4 beautiful Daughters, 'Grand' Mother to 3 beautiful Granddaughters and 2 handsome Grandsons. I love children and their unique perspective. I am a wife to my dear dashing husband Steve. (He's always dashing off to work) I love to garden and have created several large stone gardens and flower beds where previously only quack grass ruled. By trade I am a memorial and garden stone carver. I design as well as cut the designs into stone. I have been scribbling books of thoughts and memories since I learned how to write. I didn't know it was a form of scrap booking at the time, but I have always put little word stories with my photo's. I have been scrapping about 10 years .

As much as I love to scrap book, my muse takes me to the altered side of this craft. I started thinking about altered projects long ago. In those days, it was painting murals and verses on the walls and floors of our house or sewing things. I am wild about rocks and faerie folk. Lately (and this scares my family) nothing is off limits!!!
Old things and one of a kind items fascinate me, I worked as an antique piano refinisher for 10 years and some of the treasure I have found under the keys from a long forgotten time make their way into my projects.
On a side note: Scrapbookers are some of the nicest people I have met. I love to learn and teach something new or interesting. We all have a different idea of what scrapbooking is. But we do share many common life experiences and a love for the art of paper crafting. I do what I do for me, and to leave a small piece of who I was and how much I loved them for my children and grand children.
Meet Selena Maynes. Selena is joining the Senior Design Team and brings her amazing talent to us from Calgary! Her blog, Essentially Selena, showcases her amazing creative talent! Stop by and say hi! The arrival of these talented ladies bids a farewell to two of our original designers.
Sara, our resident scrapbooker, leaves us as she prepares for the arrival of her new baby due in March. Sara has delighted us with her fabulous talent in scrapbooking, and we'll surely miss her contributions. And though we are saddened by her departure, new babies deserve and demand all of Mommy's time, and so we send Sara off with our best wishes and congratulations!
And alas, this is also my (Laura's) farewell. I have made the decision to take some time off designing for a while to connect with my family. I truly loved being a part of Scrapbooker's Paradise's Design Team, playing with all this fabulous product and working with such an amazingly talented team. I hope that after I've found some balance I will return. It's been a fun and inspiring journey and I look forward to seeing all the fabulous inspiration from the new faces on the team!
Wishing everyone all the best!!!
