Ali McLaughlin from Bristow, VA
I live in Northern VA with my husband, and two kids, Evan and Alexis.
I started scrapping about 7 years ago when a couple friends of mine introduced me to scrapbooking. I thought, I could do that.. and it’s been a passion of mine ever since. I feel like this hobby has really allowed me to grow in the last couple years and I have had so many fun opportunities being published in Creating Keepsakes, BHG, Scrapbook Trends, Cards, Memory Makers as well as a few others. I was also a CK HOF HM in 2006 and am on the American Crafts design team.. my very favorite manufacturer.
I would describe my style as simple, yet fun, bold and sometimes graphic. I love keeping up with all the fun trends in the industry and being inspired by so many talented artists as well.
My other love is photography… you can always catch me with my camera in hand. I also love to travel and am always dreaming of our next destination….
According to Ali:
I can’t imagine my life without… My family. They mean so much to me.
I would love to win a shopping spree to… Pottery barn, I can dream!
I was most embarrassed when… Aunt Flo came when my boyfriend’s dad picked me up in his brand NEW car! Talk about embarrassing.
If I could be anywhere, I’d be… on the beach in Bora bora in one of those fabulous little huts right over the water.
My least favorite chore is… folding laundry, I pass that chore on to my daughter…
If a mystery package arrived on my doorstep, I’d hope it would be…lots of scrap supplies.
My guilty pleasure is… eating sweets! I love candy, cupcakes, any kind of dessert…
