Our member spotlight is my favorite post of the week. I love the opportunity to see what you all are creating and get to know you a little better in the process. Our latest in Heather Innusa. She won our giveaway a few weeks back and we’re pleased to have her in our little scrappy family.
So here’s a little bit about Heather:
1. I started scrapbooking …I’ve loved everything sticker/paper//pens/glue … sigh … since I was a teenager, however, it wasn’t until my niece was born 9 years ago that I really got the scrapbooking bug. Now that I have 2 babies of my own (Christian is almost 5 and Alivia’s almost 2) there’s just no end in sight.
2. My favorite scrapbooking product, tool or manufacturer is …my Fiscars paper trimmer has to be at the top of the LOOOONGlist along with my crop-a-dile. I use both of them almost every time I scrap!! Glossy Accents is my fave glue for everything!! I’ve fallen in love with making mini books, so Maya Road is a must for that. October Afternoon has beautiful papers and stickers, and American Crafts … gosh, I love them as well … almost nothing can make my day as happy as those cute little “flair” buttons and all those Thickers!! Fancy Pants is always great! Tim Holtz’s products are also on my must haves!!
3. My favorite thing to scrapbook about is … My babies, niece, and my hubby. They inspire me daily and everyday is something new.
4. I scrapbook because … First and foremost, I want to preserve and document our memories. It seems that they fade so quickly in the busyness of life. I want to preserve them for both my babies and myself. I want them to know how we felt at the time, what we experienced … the feelings and stories behind the pictures are very important to me. Secondly, I LOOOOVEscrapbooking because it IS my creative outlet. There is this quote from Michael Bridge “When our eyes see our hands doing the works of our hearts, the circle of creation is completed inside us, the doors of our soul flies open and love steps forth to heal everything in sight”. I feel that way when I scrap. It just makes me happy.
5. I am the happiest when … I think of all of the blessings that God has given me (my wonderful husband, my amazing babies, our families, church, friends, health, jobs, etc.) … and, I’d be lying to you if I didn’t say that I’m filled with bliss every time I complete a scrapping project 
And a bonus question:
My favorite scrappy or crafty web site is ….I love October Afternoon, Maya Road, and Two Peas in a Bucket. I check out Ali Edwards, Jennifer McGuire, Elizabeth Kartchner, and Tim Holtz’ blogs often for inspiration, and then I just basically blog hop from there – there’s no telling where I’ll end up !!
As always, I have saved the best for last … a look at some pages Heather created. I love her style. And is’t especially gratifiying to see the pieces of our kit come together to make such a lovely creation! Thanks for sharing Heather … you rock!
