Day 1 Tina



Hi girls!! You've heard lots from me already, so I thought I might as well start off the festivities! :)

I'm Tina, a 33 yr old SAHM from New Brunswick, Canada! I am "Mommy" to my 4 children... ages 6-4-2 and 8 months. I am "wife" to my DH of 9 years. Besides scrapping i love photography, camping, cooking, reading... I'm your average, everyday kinda girl... nothing too exciting! :)
I dove into the world of scrapbooking when my DD was only a year old. I had been warned that it was an addiction and that the shopping would get the best of me... but little did i know how true that was! :) Here I am 5 1/2 years later with more supplies than i know what to do with and never enough time to scrap... since i could do it 24/7! :)
This world of scrapping is more than a hobby for me. It is a lifestyle, a mindset, it is an outlet and it is my sanity! (Hence the name of my blog!) It is a way to preserve the feelings and memories of my childrens youth. But it is also a world of creativity for me. I scrap for me. Every woman needs something they do for themself... and this is my thing! I have had the honor of being published in several publications, being on numerous design teams and designing sketches for various places on the WWW.
I'm SO excited to be embarking on this new adventure with Capture TheseSketches! I hope that you will join us! This is going to be ONE AWESOME RIDE!!
I'd also love to have you drop by my blog!!
Here is a sketch that I designed special for you! The LO I designed is an 8x8... it is for my sisters Engagement album!

Tina, this looks like a great blog...but will you also post 8.5 by 11 sketches. I'd love to see some that size too! Thanks, Justasiam

Thanks for your comment!!
I am pretty sure that all of the sketches for the 9 day blog launch are either 12x12 or cards... but please feel free to adapt them to suit an 8 1/2x11 page! And i will be SURE to pass this thought along to the team! I'll make it my personal mission to make sure there are some 8 1/2x11 sketches posted!! :)
