Hi my name is
Vanessa! I am a wife to my
wonderful husband Ross and I have a 9 month old
daughter Aliza (we call her Izzy), she is an amazing
little girl and without a doubt my favorite
Scrapbooking subject!!I have been paper crafting for
5 years now. I first started when I moved to the USA
from Australia as an Au Pair and I wanted to
scrapbook my travels here. I had never even heard of
scrapbooking until I moved to the USA but now it has
become extremely popular in Australia as well!
Scrapbooking started out as a
hobby and quickly developed into a lot more than
that! In 2003 I started working part time at a
scrapbook store in Vernon Hills and before I knew it
I was Assistant Manager and then Manager! I have
taught many paper crafting classes using various
techniques. My "favorite" techniques would have to
be distressing and using acrylic stamps, I hope to
share those and lots of other fun techniques and
ideas with everybody!
I have always been creative,
even as a child I was making a creative mess and
driving my parents crazy, now its my husband that
has to deal with my scrapbook mess but he is very
supportive of my addiction to paper!
I'm excited to be a teacher
for the Scrappin Bee!!
