Who is Melissa?
Hello! My name is Melissa and I am a 28-year-old wife and mother of two rambunctious little boys, Ethan and Cameron. I work for a local school district as a technology integration specialist (fancy term for tech support) by day. By night, after the boys go to bed, I practice my scrappin' skillz. ;)
Mostly, I create paper pages, but I also love to digi scrap. I have been scrappenin' since 2003, when I created an album for a friend on a whim. Ever since, I've been hooked, and that addiction was only strengthened in 2005 by the birth of my oldest son, and then again in 2007 by the birth of my (so far) youngest son.
Between my full-time job away from home and my full-time job as Mom, I don't often find more than an hour at a time to scrap, so I try to keep my style simple in order to save time. I have, however, been known to spend hours on a single page, trimming out bits of the patterned paper and arranging embellishments until everything looked "just right."
I'm excited to be a member of the Commit 2 Paper Inspiration Squad! I can't wait to see what kits Amy thinks up and what kinds of things are made from them!
