her bio:
I'm a 21 year old college student studying to become a preschool teacher. At school I volunteer with local kids, study in preschools, work as a writing tutor, and run the craft club with my friend. I’ve been scrapping for about 5 years since I went on a trip to Italy and wanted to document it. I love everything with papercrafting from altered objects to LOs to cards. But I very passionate about cards because to me they are mini works of art.

her bio:

I am a savvy scrapbooker and I love playing with texture and embellishments, paints, stamps, metals and fabric. I embrace change in the scrapbooking world and am always on the lookout for new and unique products and new techniques to try. The majority of my work is done in a 12x12 format although, I also enjoy making unique mini books, tag books, cards and albums, and just about any other paper arts projects I stumble upon.

I believe scrapbooking is an outlet to share our creativity and our individualities, as well as our love for our families; a way to meet wonderful new friends; share our joys and sorrows; to simply be the person we were created to be and express ourselves with paper and altered art.

a new sponsor

hi everyone!
just wanted to let everyone know we got a new sponsor and our dt girls will be enjoying these goodies soon.

In a Scrap Creations:
you can reach amanda's etsy store by clicking the link on the right under sponsors
here is what she gave the dt girls:
My name is Amanda as some of you may know. I started my etsy store as year ago already. I enjoy creating custom cards and handmade embellishments for others to use on their layouts and cards and other creations.

I also do custom scrapbook albums for those that don't srapbook. My business started in October 2006, after attending a wedding and the gift we gave the bride and groom. I created an album for them to use for their wedding pictures. The bride showed her co-workers the album and the rest is history. I have since created many wedding albums and some baby albums, a couple in memory of albums and even grandparents albums.

Our unique concept albums are pre-designed for many occasions including birthdays, holidays, weddings, welcoming a new baby, and pregnancy albums to name a few. We also offer distinctive single or boxed greeting cards, gift tags and more. Our reasonably priced products are created to suit your unique needs.

Discover how In A Scrap Creations helps you “say it with love”.

You can follow these links to my etsy store and to my blog about the custom albums and wedding stationary.
