Featured Blogger: Kim

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I'm a Christian woman who is addictied to scrapbooking, stamping, and
card making. I've been married to my best friend for almost 14 years.
Together, we have six amazing nieces and nephews. They are my inspiration. I'm also a third grade teacher trying to inspire little ones.

How long have you been a paper crafter?
I began scrapping in 2000 when my youngest niece was born. I've been making cards for a year now.

What do you consider your strengths?
Obviously, scrapping is my strength. Using sketches is one of my favorite ways to scrap. I can always create wonderful pages with a great sketch.I love being a part of all my design teams, I think this keeps me fresh and focused.


Your weaknesses?
Shopping, I can never just get what I need. I always seem to add to my collection

What is your favorite paper craft technique?
My favorite would probably have to be using inks to distress my edges. I ink everything!

What inspires you the most?
My nieces and nephews inspire me everyday. I can just look at them and I'm ready for a page.

*** Notes from the Paper Craftorium Team ***

Kim has a ton of gorgeous artwork on her blog. I don't know, maybe it's because distressing is my favorite technique, and Kim distresses everything, but every piece of artwork she posts is beautiful! Her blog is called "Memories in Thyme". Here is just a sampling of what you'll find:

{ And that's not all!!!! She's got layouts and albums too!!! }

Denise, from Lala's World says:

I am a scrapbook fanatic who squeezes in creative time during my daughter's nap. I love to post layouts of their sweet faces, as well as share links, ideas, other blogs, and a laugh or too.

Browsing her blog you'll learn that she is on the Practical Scrappers Design Team. She'd like to scrap 150 pages by the end of the year.

She has some super cue layouts, like this one here:
