How did you get started:
I began Scrapbooking in 2003. I discovered a scrapbooking magazine and while looking through it, I became immediately hooked. I entered a competition, won it and the owner of the store asked me if I would teach ! My immediate response was one of shock ! TEACH ?? I was very busy with my hairdressing salons at the time, but managed to teach one class a month, and did so for 10 years. Right now my passion is designing on Design Teams.
