I'm so excited to have Lisa with us this month! Lisa's work is always so inspiring, from her smallest detail to her intricate titles. Let's all give Lisa a huge welcome this month! She's also picked out some fun things to giveaway...check out the bottom of the thread for details.
Meet Lisa:
My very full life encompasses many roles. During my years as a stay-at-home mom (2002 - 2007) I discovered my love of photography and scrapbooking. Having left Corporate America to stay home with my daughter and missing the challenges of my career, I became very interested in the professional side of scrapbooking. I was published during those years in many of the scrapbooking magazines, including Creating Keepsakes, Scrapbooks, Etc., Scrapbook Trends, Simple Scrapbooks, PaperKuts, Legacy and Memory Makers. I was honored to be named one of Memory Makers' Masters in 2006 and had a lot of fun working with the magazine and the wonderful women who were on the team with me.
In 2007, I went back to work as a Manager of Recruiting and Associate Development at a large, NY-based law firm. I am an attorney by training, but prefer hiring and training lawyers over being one :)

I love the challenge of my job and I have the best of all worlds, as I am able to work part-time and still pick my daughter up from school in the afternoons. This year, I have the privilege of being photo mom for her classroom, which means that I get to photograph every event - they think I'm doing them a favor... Little do they know that I am ecstatic at being allowed in the classroom for all those great photo opps!
I still scrapbook, although much less than I did previously. Currently, I enjoy working with Queen & Co. as a member of their design team, as well as working freelance for Me and My Big Ideas on projects for the Craft and Hobby Association trade shows.
I have the absolute privilege of living in Santa Monica, California with my husband, my daughter and my 17 year old cat, Al. I have lived in Michigan, Chicago, New Jersey and all over Los Angeles, but Santa Monica is my adopted "home" and I hope to never leave it again. Well, except maybe in the fall and winter months, to go find some seasons to photograph - I miss scrapping seasonal photos!
I love the beautiful designs and fabulous product on www.emmaspaperie.com and am delighted to be the guest designer this month. Thanks Cindy!
