Seeking:

I am looking for an opportunity to work in the Scrapbook Industry.  I would like to represent and promote a Scrapbook Product Manufacturer.  My strengths are design creations, teaching and public relations.  I am able to travel and meet tight deadlines.  I can work 1/2 time or a little more. 

I continue to work hard at building my scrapbook resume and would love the opportunity to prove myself a creative designer and hard worker. 

I look forward to hearing about your opportunities.

More Information:

Paper Arts Design is my profession and my life.  It is not a hobby.  I create with a passion and am looking for a manufacturer or Scrapbooking Community that needs an enthusiastic and dedicated person to promote their product in a positive and productive way.

My Blog “Talk Story” can be found at www.scrapaloha.blogspot.com

I spent the last few years focusing on raising my wonderful son who is now 11 years old.  Due to my limited time, I focused on my successful business of designing and creating my functional scrapbook art pieces for sale. 

Now that my son is older, I am ready to take my paper arts design career to a new level.  My goal is to promote products that I believe in, and to teach and share my designs and projects with people who love paper arts as much as I do.
