Scrapbooking has become so much more than a hobby to me. It has become a creative outlet -- a way to free my mind after a stressful day. It is no longer just about saving stories for my kids, but about reflecting on what's important in my life and communicating that through my pages. And while the photos are important, the more I scrapbook, the more important the words are to me. I want my children and family to know what's in my heart so that they never have to wonder how much I love them. This hobby has also connected me with some of my very best friend.   In this album you will find the most recent projects I've completed -- generally within the past 6 months. I will always keep the newest layouts at the top to make them easy to find. Thanks so much for sharing this great hobby with me! :)   View my resume at href='http://www.scrapbookresumes.com/ChristineBrown/'  .ivanC11413288608288{position:absolute;visibility:hidden;}FREE counter and Web statistics from sitetracker.com

Sometimes I still cannot even believe it's true!!

My first ever published page appeared in the October 2001 issue of Creating Keepsakes. Since then I've had over 100 pages published in various magazines including Creating Keepsakes, Better Homes & Gardens Scrapbooks Etc., Memory Makers and Paper Crafts. In September, 2004, I was one of 10 named to the prestigious title of 2005 Memory Maker's Master. As such, I do alot of freelance work for the Memory Makers magazine and book divisions and am featured in the monthly "Masters Challenges". It's been a great ride!

This albums contains completed "mini" albums and non-scrapbooking paper arts projects that I've done. As time goes on I'm finding that I LOVE creating these little albums, books and cards! Thanks so much for peeking into my world. :)
