About Me

I enjoy exploring new and creative ways to capture my memories.  Join me as I rethink my scrapbook supplies, repurpose everyday items and translate techniques and inspiration in my scrapbook pages and altered projects.

My name is Amy Kingsford and I am a happy wife, blessed mother and an enthusiastic creative professional who enjoys sharing innovative ideas, resources, tutorials and classes with the modern-day scrapbooker.

While I have been scrapbooking for 10+ years, I became immersed in this hobby just before the birth of my first son in 2007. Since then I’ve explored the wonderful worlds of digital scrapbooking, hybrid scrapbooking, altered projects and photography.  I’m so grateful to be able to write and teach about something that is so dear to me.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my site and I hope you will find useful information and resources to aid you in recording your cherished memories!
