We're so thankful for the talented team that helps to spread the joy of memory-keeping all over the world.

Tell us a little bit about yourself:

I’ve been scrapbooking for the past 8 years. I started off scrapping traditional layouts, took a short break due to my heavy work commitment and finally turned to Project Life®Project Life®

What’s your go-to technique? I don’t usually fill my Project Life®

In one of the filler cards in my May’s Project Life®Lauren

I inked the ‘keeping it real’ stamp from Lauren with Memento Luxe ink and stamped it repeatedly on the journal card.

I then adhered one of the circle stickers over the stamped background.

Lastly, I added a strip of phrase from the Authentique Petite Diction sticker to complete the filler card.

How do you stay organized? I'm thankful that I have a craft space within our study room that is located just next to a big window that have a generous stream of natural lighting through out the year.

This is where I spend a few hours of my weekends getting my Project Life®

Next to my table is where I parked my all time favorite Raskog cart that is filled with more of my Project Life®

I'm also a big fan of Ikea storage boxes and baskets. I store most of my scrapbook goodies in these boxes and baskets and they're just located at the other opposite of my scrap table.

My other favorite storage pieces that help me organize my PL cards and embellishments would be the acrylic drawer for all my wood veneers, toolbox for my PL cards, mini ceramic bowls for small embellishments and handbook for my stamps.

What is the crafting tool you can’t live without? It's definitely my Fiskar paper trimmer, tiny attacher, precision scissor, date roller stamp, and corner chomper.

Where do you go to get ideas? I spend a lot of time getting ideas and inspiration from both Pinterest and Instagram. These two social media platforms are filled with thousands of great ideas for crafting and daily reads as well.
