Our guest designer showing off mini paper pads this week is Angela Gutshall!
Short bio: I?m a stay at home mom of four blessings: Faith 7, Ty 5, Noah 3, and Hannah 1. I live in James Creek, PA with my wonderful husband of 11 years, Brian. I have been scrapbooking for six years, since my first baby was born. I wanted to capture her memories and fell in love with scrapbooking then and I never want to stop. I enjoy capturing moments and preserving them in my own style of scrapbooking. I prefer traditional scrapbooking so I can use my hands, my own ideas, and create my own layouts. I feel I have more of a creative outlet this way. I like to hand stitch on layouts. Another favorite is playing with mist/paint on layouts. I prefer to handwrite my journaling so my kids can know how personal it is. I also enjoy making mixed media projects!
How did you get started scrapbooking? I first got started when my younger sister had a Creative Memories party eight years ago. I was pregnant with my first child and I thought this was a great way to capture her memories. And here I am still scrapping and love every minute of it!
What is your favorite American Crafts product? This is such a tough question because I think you need them all to make great pages! But if I had to pick one it would be the Thickers because they are great for titles which you need for a page.

I love that the 6×6 papers have the same patterns as the 12×12 papers but my favorite thing is the patterns are smaller. So when you use the flower paper it’s not so busy because the print is smaller.
