Papercraft Haven and More

     I don't consider myself a "lucky" person...I have had my fair share of things I have been through in life.  I lost an ex-husband to suicide and my father to Alzheimer's disease both on 8/5 - which was 3 days after my birthday - 5 years apart.  I was involved in a tornado 6 days after the ex died - in Salt Lake City, Utah - where tornado's don't hit. I was molested by 3 different people - I had an ex-wife from HELL get involved in my life and try to ruin and devastate not only me but my husband and my marriage.  However, I am one lucky woman when I met my husband Del, let me tell you!        Del came in my life when I needed someone the most - and I came in his about the same time!  We both had kids from previous relationships and marriages that we tried to blend (thus the ex-wife from hell comment) but he was something I just could not get enough of - especially how wonderful of a father he is!  He has a loving yet jackas...

     I started scrapbooking around 13 years ago or so, my first project - was my 2nd wedding album!  My first stamping project was my almost 21 year old daughters' birth announcements - so I've been around a while now!  I decided to start Memories in Tyme to show people how easy it is to create.   I am now certified to teach through EK Success' Spotted Canary program, as well as now teaching at Michael' s Arts & Crafts at a local Denver area store!  I am excited to say the least, and can see all my hard work starting to pay off - especially since being here in Colorado!        Now - if you are expecting something from me in the mail - I am really behind right now!  Life has just thrown me some interesting curve balls, in which I am trying to figure out how to deal with them!  I am also in school full time, plus started a new job...Life for me is just nuts, and things that needed to get done has NOT been done! ...

     My main thing when I am scrapbooking, is I want things to match.  Alphabet templates can help you save money - by using them for your titles on your scrapbook pages, on papers that will match your layout - instead of having to run out and find a set of stickers to match!  With the above example, I used pattern paper for the top of the letters, and then matted the letters on a sheet of the pink background paper!  I then cut each letter out individually, making sure to have enough room on each side for the word.  By using alphabet templates, you don't have to worry about not having enough of a certain letter, or running out when you are in the middle of taking care of something!  By using patterned papers that match, or come in a kit - you can be assured to have the perfect matching items for your project!          One thing I like to make sure to use is fine tip scissors - to be able to get into the finer areas ...
