Hello! My name is Karen and I have been scrapbooking for 15 years. The sad truth is, I have only done one album for myself, all the others have been gifts. Fortunately, my family and friends value my artistic endeavors, so it is a pleasure to create for them.  A glance in my gallery will let you know that dogs are my favorite subject to scrap! 

I live with and care for my aging parents.  It has its challenges, but many blessings also. I am able to scrap most evenings, and enjoy scrapping with my friends whenever possible.  Scrapbooking is good for my sanity and is the perfect creative outlet for me.  It's fun spending time with other addicts too!

Discovering SB.com has been great and I'm enjoying getting to know many of you truly creative people! Nothing makes my day like touring the gallery and also finding encouraging comments posted on my layouts.  I enjoy sharing the love too!

I am in awe of all the talent represented here and I'm learning so much from you. Thank you for the inspiration!
