My Scrapbook Resume

A Little Bit About Me
I saw a scrapbooking show on TV mid 2004 and started with a baby book for my daughter who was just a year old at that time. It became my new passion instantly. One October day, that same year, I picked up my two scrapbook albums and walked into my local scrapbook and craft store and came out with an instructor’s job. I have enjoyed a national level Painting scholarship (1987-1999) back home in India and took to this new hobby naturally. I entered a few contests just for fun and met new friends who encouraged me to submit to magazines and apply for design team positions. So, I held my breath and took the plunge in December 2005. I scrapbook because I want to preserve the little memories that make life worth living. I have learned a new way of life through scrapbooking, a way that has taught me to appreciate each moment and deal with life’s inevitable frustrations. Today, I don’t regret sacrificing my promising career in Clinical Psychology and Counseling to become a work-from-home-mom. I am proud to say that I am a Scrapbooker.  

My Work   
I love to experiment. I don't like to limit myself by branding my style as simple, minimalist or layered , etc. I like to play and innovate. Layouts, mini books and mixed media art are my favorites.  

My Blog   
I record my day-to-day life in my almost daily blog My Life In Collage

My Etsy
Recently, I ventured into the land of Etsy where I put my handmade mini book kits, one-of-a-king cards, prints of my original collages and more in my little shop called Color Happy Creations

My Objectves   
I am especially interested in Design Team and/or Contributing Editor positions in industry magazines and/or manufacturers. Traveling to teach, getting published as well as doing freelance work are some of my other goals. I am also interested in designing products for manufacturers.
