Designer Challenge: Mimi Leinbach

Scrapbook and Journal about Someone You Admire.

From Mimi:

I scrapbooked about my Mom, my kids' grandma, who I admire.

I totally ran with this challenge. I knew immediately that I wanted to focus this challenge on my Mom. It gave me the opportunity to say some of the things I love about my Mom and how she has taught my kids and I how to live. I wanted the photo to really help show their relationship and the design and journaling around it to emphasize that. I am thoroughly IN LOVE with the cardstock sticker Label Additions and the Blooms A Bella layered cotton flowers which I now need in EVERY COLOR!!!

Designer Spotlight: Mimi Leinbach

Hi, my name is Mimi and I am a 37-year-old (YIKES!) SAHM to 2 soccer lovin' boys, Nick [11] and Jack [8]. When I am not scrappin' I can be found at a soccer game or helping out at school. I have been married to Josh for 15 years, and I am so thankful that he has given me the freedom to indulge myself in this hobby and I just adore him for it. You could say I am obsessed, completely and totally. I have been scrappin' for 12 years now and I would say my style is ever-changing. I like to try every technique at least once and some a lot more. I also have a passion for patterned paper, to which I just can't seem to get enough. I have been published several times in Memory Makers Magazine and Books, Simply Handmade, Scrapbook Trends, Creating Keepsakes as well as Scrapbooking and Beyond Magazine.
