 My Scrapbook Resume

I am currently a "lead Fisk-a-teer" (a.k.a. brand ambassador) for Fiskars and I couldn't have imagined a better job for me.  I get to meet with other crafters online and off and all I do is encourage & share their passion for scrapping.  Simple as that.  I was also lucky enough to be an on-camera designer as well as  the Executive Editor for the first online scrapbooking reality show, Scrapbook Lifestyle, sponsored by Better Homes and Garden’s Scrapbooks Etc. magazine from 2005-2007. If you caught one of my episodes (and I have a few archived here on my blog), you’ve seen that I enjoy graphic style design with lots of color. I also enjoy digital scrapping and sharing my passion for this hobby with others.  I also enjoyed providing all the editing and content for the official Scrapbook LifeStyle blog which is similar to what I do now for Fiskateer.com.  I'm always interested in working on new projects for magazines, manufacturers and online sites.  You can see samples of my work at my online gallery or E-mail me for more recent examples.
