DESIGNER PROFILE

 


 
 

Alicia Giess

I am the 46-year old  mother of  four children, ages 14, 11, 9 and 7.  Yes, I know I got started late in life having children, but that was God's plan for our lives.   That makes being a mother just that much sweeter to me.   I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Mike, for 27 years.   When I'm not working at home, I am a legal assistant for a local attorney and love my job.  I really enjoy relieving stress with a nice, hot, sweaty jog.

I started scrapping 4 years ago when I returned from a dream trip to Hawaii.  I knew I wanted a scrapbook of my trip, so I picked up an idea book at my local scrapbook store and scraplifted my very first page.  It turned out awful, but I was instantly hooked.  I didn't cook a meal for 2 days while I finished that scrapbook.  My kids had lots of  Ramen noodles until it was done.  For the first time in my life, I saw that I did have some creativity. Since then, I haven't met a patterned paper I didn't like.  I love making use of  the patterned papers by cutting out elements in each pattern to embellish my page.  I am in love with my Fiskars Micro-tip scissors.   I take my Nikon D80 with me everywhere and my kids' friends even pose  for me now.

I am so thrilled to be part of the team here at KMA!  There are so many talented scrappers, not only on the team, but on the site itself.  This is a privilege, and I am so excited.
