My name is Rachel and I have been married to my husband Brian for eleven years. We have one daughter, Leesha, who just turned 5 years old. This year we begin on the amazing journey of homeschooling. We are so excited to see what lays ahead for us. My other hobbies include reading, card making, and stamping.

I started scrapbooking 5 years ago. The first album I completed was Brian’s mission’s trip to Barbados. This adventure not only gave me the bug to scrapbook but also the bug to visit Barbados sometime in my life. My style tends to be simple! My favorite embellishments are UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel), and ribbon. I can also be found reaching for distressing inks, chalks, metallic rub-ons, and acrylic paint.

Scrapbooking to me is next to the ultimate in relaxation. It is what keeps me sane when life is crazy all around me. I scrapbook because I love it!! I also love the idea that I am leaving behind a legacy for future generations. I have met some of my closest friends through this wonderful hobby! I enjoy working with new products and am always looking forward to the new challenges that the review team brings me.
