My name is Heather. My husband, Mike, and I moved to the US from Canada in 2006 for his work. Since then, I have been a stay at home wife and mamma to our kitties. I began investigating scrapbooking in late 2006 and didn't really begin scrapbooking until the spring of 2007. I have only been a digital scrapbooker and got into it as a way to preserve our wedding stories and photos which were still sitting untouched.

Since then, I mainly use scrapbooking as a creative outlet and since we have no children, my husband and our kitties tend to be the subject matter of a lot of my pages. I like to document the funny and silly things that they do which brings smiles to my face everyday. I also use my layouts as a way to keep family back in Canada up to date on what our everyday lives entail.

I am very proud to be a friend of Kristin, the founder of Log Your Memory. We met through an online community and have continued it through frequent chats on facebook and instant messaging. She is such a wonderful journaler on her pages, that you really get to feel like you are experiencing her life with her. I was fortunate enough to get the chance to meet her and her daughter, Dani, in person this summer when we both attended a digital crop in San Antonio, TX. Even though it was our first meeting face to face, it was like sitting down with an old friend and chatting the time away. When she told me about her plans to start Log Your Memory and asked me to be on her Creative Team, without hesitation I agreed. I am here to lend her and the community any support I can offer.

I look forward to getting to know more of you in our time here together.

Hiya, well it's lovely and shiny in here .

I've been digiscrapping nearly a year now, and am loving it. I've found the digiscrapping community to be a friendly, welcoming group of people.

I was paper scrapping for about 18 months before that, but mostly now use those supplies for altered projects and swaps/ circle journals etc. Also tend to let my DD play with a lot of them.

I love scrapping as a way to add to photos, to tell the stories alongside the images.

Hello everybody!

My name is Jennifer. I am a SAHM of three amazing kiddos and a wife to a pretty terrific hubby Tony. I have scrapbooked since I was a kid... of course it was pasting things in spiral notebooks back then. I was introduced to Creative Memories products when I was 18 and I have been HOOKED! Wow... so I have been officially scrapbooking for 14 years... stop doing the math I was introduced to digi the summer of 2007 when I had my youngest daughter Hannah. I was up nursing and and I caught a HSN showcasing a digital scrapbook program. I thought hmmm... that might help me keep up and I will just do some pages digital. Well, the next day I did a google search and found Designer Digitals... the rest is history! I sold my paper supplies the following summer at a garage sale and I never looked back!

I love to journal... and I think it is a critical piece of my scrapbooking. I want my kids to know my thoughts and feelings. I want them to remember details that the pictures just can't contain. That is why I am here... I need an organized way to keep all those thoughts before they hit a scrapbook page. I can use all the help I can get in that department!

Plus... Kristin is my friend and I am proud of her =)

Hi, all! Congrats, Kristin, and putting all of this together and OUT HERE for everyone. I was a paper scrapper for many years -- until I started hanging out at Designer Digitals and getting more and more pages with more and more journaling done digitally. Still have all my paper stuff. Not ready to give it away but don't seem to get to it much. I live in NH with professor husband and 2 boys.
