Hello! My name is Amber and I'm a scrap-a-holic, a paper hoarder, and a mess maker all in one! My username seems to sum it up the best... I'm a hardcorescrapper... I tend to take scrapbooking to the extreme! I love to tear, paint, sand, bead, stitch, cut out, stamp, distress, crumple, and layer! I will try any technique once! I love thinking out of the box and trying new things. My style is a cross between graphic and whimsical... but mostly just "new"... I love to try to create things I have not seen before. I love layering and throwing in non-scrapbooking items. I have been scrapping since 1996 and love it more every day! Scrapbooking is a creative outlet for me and I honestly thrive on it.

When I'm not scrapping, I'm the mother of two amazing little boys- Carson (2002) and Kolby (2005) who are the focus of most of my pages, although I am also the "mother" to a cat, pug, and two horses! I'm the wife to an incredibly supportive husband who loves to see my latest creations (but I hope doesn't know how big my stash really is!). I'm also a crazy elementary music teacher... you know the kind- the spontaneous, creative, energetic ones that drive the rest nutty! If I'm not scrapping (very rare), I'm riding horses, biking, skiing, traveling, reading in the tub, or shopping... a girl can never have too many shoes or scrap supplies! I can't wait to share some of my creations with you! Happy Scrappin'!
