Into the Crazy Blue 

Papercrafting has always seemed like a natural outlet to Amy. Her Grandma Helen made scrapbooks for each of her five grandchildren and so she grew up thinking it was just what people did to document memories and create art. When scrapbooking really came of age, she was excited to see all the new and different products being offered. That has not changed! She has been married for ten years to her husband Levi and they have two amazing kids along with two indescribable felines.
