    Hi everyone, I'm Gretchen!!!

    I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself while I get the hang of mycraftivity.com. This is such a cool place!

    I'm a nose wiping, kid chasing, house cleaning, quick meal cooking, errand running, stay-at-home-scrapbooking MOM to 3 kiddos and wife to one great husband!

    I'm totally addicted to scrapbooking and have been doing it since 1999. My style is simply eclectic, meaning it's always changing from layout to layout. I love to hand journal and do it exclusively on my layouts. In addition to scrapbooking, like to stamp and create paper crafts. I like to try new things and enjoy a challenge. I also teach online classes for BigPictureScrapbooking.com.

    I post regularly on my personal blog, but I did want to post on here too.

    My current BPS classes -

    28 Days (Workshop)

    In 28 days, you'll complete 28 projects as you gain motivation, inspiration, and a huge feeling of accomplishment! If you're in a creative rut and want to break free, this is the class for you! If you're in need of a push toward productivity, then this is just the challenge you need! The question is: are you up for it?

    In this repeat performance workshop, you'll create and start a journal, create a Rolodex Inspiration File, and complete eight layouts along with a variety of other exciting projects. There's even a fun bonus of daily photo assignments culminating in a mini-album to help you document a month in your life. So, grab a girlfriend and let everyone know you are scrapbooking for the next 28 days!

    Childhood Memories (Projects Now - Instant Download)

    Your childhood memories are as unique and special as you are and they deserve to be recorded and shared, even if you don't have photos! In this class, you'll learn how to quickly trigger memories that might otherwise be lost. You'll then create two layouts based on the same design scheme, each spotlighting a different memory from your childhood. As a bonus, you'll decorate a mini notebook to carry with you and use in recording additional childhood memories.

    Feel free to add me as a friend, the more the merrier!
