Hi everyone! I'm so excited to be guest designing for Doodlebug today. I am a New England transplant from Massachusetts now living in upstate New York with my husband, Tom and middle school-aged daughter, Alexa. I also can't forget to mention sweet Butterscotch, Alexa's cat, who appears as the subject of some of my pages. I've been paper crafting since 2001 when I was presented with an empty 12x12 album as a baby gift. After staring at it for six months, I decided it was time to figure out what all of the hoopla about scrapbooking was about. It took only one class at a local scrapbooking store and I was hooked!

I love mixing and matching bits and pieces to create embellishment clusters on my pages and it's a rare page that doesn't feature some kind of stitching, whether it be by hand or machine. Layering is part of my "signature" style. While scrapbooking is my first love, I also enjoy making cards and the occasional altered project. When I'm not scrapbooking or chauffeuring my daughter around, I can be found puttering in my garden, reading a book, cooking up a new recipe (and sharing the good ones in Tasty Tuesday posts on my blog), or taking photos that will later be committed to paper for all time.

I am currently a Little Yellow Bicycle sponsored designer and on the design teams for Paper Issues and My Creative Scrapbook kit club. I regularly contribute to Northridge publications like Scrapbook Trends, CARDS, Create, etc., Scrapbooking & Beyond, Scrapbooking.com, Scrapnart.com and Stitch Craft Create.

My blog is called Remember the Good Times: http://lisarukinswift.blogspot.com. I hope you'll stop by for a visit some time. :)
