Hi my name is Karen, I am 45, married with 2 grown up children.

I live in England as a SAHM, as we are renovating a large Edwardian house.

I have thousands of photographs, going back over a hundred years. My parents passed away recently and I found that a lot of our family history to go with them is lost. To ensure this doesn’t happen for my children, I am trying to catch up on decades of photographs.

I first saw scrapbooking in America. For many years I would go to Archivers and look in awe. Two years ago, I saw a scrapbook with embellishments in a shop reduced. I bought it and have never looked back. Particularly to that scrapbook.Ergh!!!

My style is very eclectic. I love bright layouts with lots going on.

Everyone is amazed, all of my scrapbook stash is carried in a wheelie tote bag and a box.
