I thought it would be nice to begin a new series of blog posts, once a month, to take a moment to introduce to you each of our five, unique Cord Scrapbook Studio locations and the people behind the scenes who really make things "tick". Consider this a little virtual tour, so to speak, as gas prices being what they are these days often keep us from traveling to those destination locations we'd otherwise sacrifice our right pinky to visit! And this week, I'd like to take you to the Nora, Indiana store!
This is Vicki, the Scrapbooking Coordinator, Instructor, and Scrapbooking Aficionado at Nora. She enjoys pina coladas, long walks on the beach, and all things Cricut. Just kidding! (Well... not about the Cricut part. When it comes to Quickutz products (her first love) and Cricut Cartridges (as shown below) she's definitely in Die-Cut Heaven!)
Vicki has been scrapbooking traditionally since the 1970's, when she and her boyfriend began taking pictures of everyday life and putting them into books with phrases. She designed her first "modern" album in 2001 for her son's High School graduation and has been addicted ever since! Her style is as varied as the projects she's working on, but she enjoys scrapbooking her children (4 girls and 1 boy ages 15 to 27), her granddaughter (who's one year old and pictured at right-SOO CUTE!), her family and everyday life the most.
If she could meet any scrapbooking celeb, she'd choose Becky Fleck of Page Maps fame. "Her Page Maps book is awesome! When I am struggling for inspiration I open up her book and VOILA!"
So in honor of Vicki's love for Page Maps I figured it only fair that she choose this week's Page Maps sketchto inspire blog readers this week! I encourage you to match this sketch up with a few products from Vicki's favorite Scrapbooking Manufacturers--Basic Grey, Little Yellow Bicycle, and We R Memory Keepers--or to use her favorite Curvy Cutter tools & templates to create this fun design!
You can learn more about Vicki by stopping in anytime for a chat or by attending any of Nora's crops or classes! (And speaking of classes, Vicki is teaching a Scrapbooking Beginner's Classthis Thursday from 6-7:30pm. If you're new to scrapbooking this is the perfect opportunity for you to "plug-in" and learn more about the wonderful world of scrapbook arts and papercrafting!)
Stay tuned throughout this week as we continue our tour throughout the Nora store. I've even got a special new product Sneak Peek in store for you tomorrow or Wednesday! (So exciting!)
And Vicki... thanks so much for all you do to make the Nora Cord Scrapbook Studio the warm & friendly environment it is--full of creativity, inspiration and fun! You are one of the many that make local scrapbooking stores GREAT!
