Expertise
Scrapbooking and making Memory Albums. I can answer questions regarding proper products to use to preserve photographs. Additionally, I can provide information on layouts and the other processes to use to make memory books attractive. I have taken many classes in scrapbooking and am have done books for others. I am an active participant on several e-mail loops which discuss style, products and idea exchange. I have completed dozens of memory albums and am currently working on four new ones.
Experience
