Kelly Purkey
As a single girl, Kelly often gets asked what she scrapbooks about. To insure she always has a good answer to this question, Kelly enjoys filling up her life with wonderful friends, amazing adventures and travels, life in the big city, and lots of delicious food. All of which create excellent photo opportunities for her to scrap.
Kelly lives on the island of Manhattan in New York City, which is a dream come true for her. She works from home as a freelance scrapbooker and designer, but is often flying around the country to teach classes or dip her toes in the ocean. Kelly has worked as a product designer at American Crafts, was a member of the 2008 & 2009 Creating Keepsakes Dream team, has contributed to a variety of publications, and is an instructor at Creating Keepsakes Conventions.
Kelly loves photobooths, the Brooklyn Bridge, art museums, stamps in her passport, and impromptu dance parties.
According to Kelly:
When I was a child... playing dress-up was my favorite thing to do.
I can't imagine my life without... being able to just pick up and travel. I have serious wanderlust.
I would love to win a shopping spree to... J.Crew, Anthropologie, IKEA.
If I could be on any tv game or reality show, it would be... The Bacholerette ;)
If I could be anywhere, I'd be... in the same place as all my best friends for a whole week.
I thought I would never... find my dream job. But somehow I've been lucky to turn scrapbooking into a career!
You would never guess it, but I... love doing things alone. Being surrounded by people in a big city has made me crave my "me" time.
