I've loved scrapbooking all my life; at least as far back as I remember. In high school I made my first scrapbook, one I used to hold all my memorabilia. It wasn't until I got married, 7 years after high school, that I made my first photo scrapbook.
Someone gave me a wedding album as a wedding gift. I wasn't sure where to begin but once I started I couldn't stop. I covered the scrapbook from front to back with photos, journaling, memorabilia, and stickers, of course.
That was 6 years ago this month and my scrapbooking style has changed along the way. I've taught scrapbooking classes and written many scrapbooking tutorials to assists both the novice and advanced. I like to try new techniques and medium but I find that simple pages keep the memories in focus.
I am currently working on my daughter's baby scrapbook album. She is 7 months old and beautiful, thus the perfect subject for scrapbook pages. I also have a darling 3 year old son who adorns several scrapbooks already. My husband Rick, while not a scrap booker himself, understands my need for adhesive, die cuts, and printed paper. He also helps with my grammar, usually after the fact. We live in Harvest, Alabama, near my husband's family which is too far away from Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw who live in Ohio on OakLeaf Acre.

Hello fellow paper crafting friends, My name is Amy and I am a stay-at-home mama to two beautiful children. My son just went off to Kindergarten this year and my daughter is in pre-school. I am married to a wonderful man, Roy, and he is so supportive of my “scrapping habit” and all the clutter that goes along with it.
I also have a great family that love to look at my scrapbooks and are always encouraging me with their kind words. They especially love all the little scrapbooks that I have created for them.
I am a self proclaimed scrapbook idea book junkie. I love paper and am constantly in search of new paper designs and themes. I love the collection of papers here at OakLeaf Acre and am thrilled to be designing layouts and cards with these beautiful and unique papers.
I love everything about this great hobby: the wonderful friends I have made, documenting my life and the lives of my family, (especially my children), and collecting all the fun embellishments, paper, fonts, stamps, and other supplies that make this hobby so cool.
When not scrapbooking, you can find me at home with my kiddos, volunteering in my church at our preschool or helping in my son’s kindergarten classroom. I was a kindergarten teacher in my life before kids and am excited to be back helping out in my own children’s classrooms. I love shopping and hanging out with my girlfriends. I also love my other job, where I teach classes at a local scrapbook store.
