Once upon a time, I wanted to be a zoologist. As an intern at a local zoo, I one day found myself on rotation at the penguin enclosure. The penguins crowded around me and the 2 zookeepers, squawking as only penguins can, slapping their flat webbed feet on the pavement as they hurried about, heads extended, beaks open wide. Of course, as the intern, I was handed a hose instead of a bucket of fish and I set to squirting the bird doo-doo off of the man-made cliffs amidst the squeal of cheerful children watching the frenzied feeding of the penguins. A penguin affectionately dubbed Snoopy apparently believed anything taller than him possessed food. When I didn’t provide the fish he desired, he got my attention with a stabbing peck to my shin. I fully expected to see gushing blood when I checked my injury … I could have sworn I had been literally stabbed … but I saw nothing, and later only a bruise the size of a pencil eraser marked my insult. (No, I didn’t kick him.)

So see, penguins aren’t very smart … at least, not when they’ve been raised in captivity. And I can’t really blame them for my choice to pursue other avenues & not continue on the road of zoology … but it’s a good conversation-starter, lol!

Who am I? I am me. I am Suzy Iverson. I am wife to the love of my life and mother to my greatest adventure, a rambunctious little toddler who was born to move mountains. (At least, mountains of sand.) I am a creator, a woman, a teacher, a leader, a designer, a writer … a dreamer. (See, I’m not all that different than you.)

Scrapbooking, to me anyway, is a creative & fun way for me to tell my family’s story & record happy memories (& not so happy memories) … and a means for me to share my journey with my children. I especially love digital scrapbooking — no more mess, no more ruined supplies, no more excuses not to scrap (’cause hey, it’s right at my fingertips, every day).

As a designer, I create high-quality digital scrapbook products to help you tell your story with fun patterns & happy embellishments. As a company, I provide not only high-quality versatile products so you can scrap confidently and abundantly at an affordable price but also tutorials, articles, and other resources that will help you grow in your skills & abilities to artfully & effectively capture your family’s memories.

Above all, my goal is to uplift and inspire. I feel so blessed (& humbled) to be a part of the journeys of so many women and families.
