Nicole Samuels discovered scrapbooking over a decade ago and immediately fell in love with the hobby of memory keeping as both a creative outlet and a way to document life's sweetest moments. She believes scrapbooking helps her to focus on what matters most in her somewhat hectic life as a mother to 4. It's a way to savor both the big milestones and the everyday moments that make life precious. Nicole's layouts have been featured in various print and digital paper crafting magazines over the years. She has also designed for several scrapbooking manufacturers. Her favorite way of sharing her love for scrapbooking though is through teaching. She has taught at local scrapbook stores and retreats, Creating Keepsakes Conventions, Great American Scrapbook Convention, and online at Studio Calico.
