Summer Guest Designer: Corinne Smilovici

How did you get started scrapbooking? In 2004 I went to a friend's house and she showed me what scrapbook was. I fell in love right then and there with the idea of creating and sharing my memories with my family and friends. Scrapbooking for me is therapeutic, it even helped me with depression after losing my father in a car accident 4 years ago. My friends and I have crops almost every Wednesday and it's kind of a ritual 🙂

 

What is your favorite American Crafts product? Without a doubt I would have to say Thickers and the huge array of colors and different kinds of letters available. Other products I can mention as favorites are brads, tags, and of course, roller stamps (I even collect them!).
