Hi… My name is Chris and I live in the Portland, Oregon area. My husband and I moved here about ten years ago and have really put down roots. It's the perfect place to do all of the outdoor activities we love: Ultimate disc, hiking, camping, sea kayaking, biking. You get the idea… We live here with our two kids and two dogs; they all keep us hopping, but we wouldn't trade them for anything!

I started scrapbooking as a creative outlet and to have somewhere more meaningful for our photos. Since starting the hobby, I have branched out from just scrapping photos into card-making, ATC's, handmade gift albums, and other handmade papercrafts. I've also been doing sketches for quite some time -- they are a great way for me to test drive new ideas and I love to share them. I have even found myself trying my hand at digital scrapbooking… I have had quite an adventure with scrapbooking, trying new things, and I am looking forward to being a Scraplovers Sweetheart -- hopefully I will inspire you to try something new and I know you will inspire me as well!
