I've been scrapbooking since I was 16 years old and love the hobby more each day! I enjoy making things by hand - from cards and layouts to books and baskets. My day is not complete unless I've made something. I'm the Copy Editor for the Northridge magazines and love all the inspiration I get from seeing everyone's creations. On a more personal note, we're expecting our first baby, a boy, in October and we couldn't be more thrilled!

Kristine McKay

My passion for paper crafting began when I was a little girl growing up in Blackfoot, Idaho. I remember designing stationary sets and trying to sell them to the other neighborhood children, as well as making mini albums (before I knew what a mini-album was) out of my mom’s old gum wrappers.  My love of paper and design drew me into the scrapbooking industry. I believe that  scrapbooking is about more than simply placing a sticker on your child’s soccer photo. It is a form of artist expression, using paper as the medium and memories as the inspiration. I strive to bring practical products and ideas to the industry that save both time and money.  I currently reside in Spanish Fork, Utah with my husband of Dan  and our three children Tanner, Kelsey, and Cameron.
