Maxine Morrey - All Scrapbooking Ideas Design Team Member

I am a Brit currently living in the States with my husband. I discovered scrapbooking around three years ago although it took me a little while to actually have the bravery to begin really creating layouts.

Ever since I can remember I have saved souvenirs from trips, sticking them in a paper scrapbook with a little note about them. That combined with a love of photography inherited from my Dad, makes it feel as though I have been scrapbooking forever. When I first saw this wonderful form of scrapbooking in a magazine by accident, I knew immediately that it was for me! It was a way of doing what I already did but in a much better, more creative way. I have found it to be the perfect way for me to express my creativity, preserve memories and showcase some of the (many!) photos I take.
