I'm Vicki Flinchum. I'm a 45 year old Stay At Home Mom. I live in Central Texas with my husband of 7 years and our kids, a son, 5, and step daughter, 10. I retired from 17 years of government service to stay home and raise my children. I have been involved in arts and crafts since I was a child. More recently I owned a faux painting and home décor business and an online scrapbook store. I became involved in scrapbooking about five years ago and was instantly hooked. I love all sorts of papercrafts, altered arts projects and mini albums. I teach classes on a variety of topics from basic scrapbooking to complex technique heavy altered projects. I also teach students to use tools like Purple Cows Trimmers and Zutter Bind It All and DreamKuts. I host an annual crop for my daughter's Girl Scout troop. I love teaching people (young and old) to scrap, alter and create. I lost my Mom a few years ago and inherited a box of unmarked photos to chronicle my childhood. I think scrapbooking is important to preserve memories for future generations, something I wish my mother would have thought important too. I get my children involved in scrapping, making books and crafts, in general as often as possible. My DD used my scrappy tools, including my Cricut, to complete her science fair projects! I truly don't think there is anything you can't do with these hobbies. I've made books, altered doors, built clocks and altered furniture...all in the name of crafting and, of course, FUN. My scrappy style is eclectic, at best! Some days my pages are neat and simple.....others, I throw on everything I can get my hands on. I have a special love of distressed items and ephemera. Currently, I am on the following design teams: Purple Cows Zutter Innovative Products (Original Zutter Zister) Harlee Quinz Designs Scrapbook Haus Scrapperie I am also a: PrimaDonna: a Prima Marketing Endorsed Artist Educator, Tattered Angels Educator Copic Certified Designer Certified Fiskars Demonstrator.
