My name is Barb and I love creating! I started as a paper scrapbooker back in 1996 and switched to digital around 2008. I've been designing since 2009 I think (I am so bad with dates, I never remember my own wedding day!). I found myself wanting certain themes I could not find so I decided to try to figure out how to design scrapbook papers and kits. That took awhile, but here I am still learning and really enjoying the creation process. I usually design kits that can be used for both boys and girls as I have one of each.
I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom and usually spend my “free” time designing (mostly while the kids are at school once the chores are done). If my husband reads this he may not agree that I always wait until the chores are done. :) I try to get my chores done first but some days my computer just calls out to me to sit down and quickly do something. Before I know it the day is gone! Usually when I design I treat myself to an Iced Cappuccino, but now I need to be careful because if I am sitting all day designing those ice caps are going to start showing on my hips so to counter act that I try to run downstairs and do laundry here and there!
Some of my inspiration comes from photos I want to scrapbook or layout themes I want to create, but some kit ideas come from my customers. My customers are very important to me and I am always open to kit suggestions. Actually one of my favorite parts of designing are creating kits based on customer requests. If you ever have a specific theme for a kit please send me an email or post it on my Facebook Page and I will see what I can come up with. I am excited to be a part of My Memories Suite and I am looking forward to getting to know you as a customer.

Hi Barb ~ I love the variety in your kits! And it's great to know that you take customer requests, I'm going to send you one now!
I love getting to know the people that design all these kits! Barb it wasn't until I looked at all the kits you've designed that I realised how many of them I use! The "This and That" kit was one of the very first purchases I made after going digital. I find that kit so easy to work with and the embellishments are great for boys (of which I have three) Thanks also for all the freebies you have offered as well. Looking forward to see what new kits you release in the future.
Your kits are gorgeous, thank you for the generous prizes and the chance to win.
Wow, what an awesome giveaway! I love all of Barb's kits, they are wonderful!
Congratulations on being the Featured Designer. It is great to get an inside look at the people who create these gorgeous kits. Thank you for the opportunity to win some of them.

I have to say the comment about to counter act for the Cappuccino you run up and down the stairs and do laundry once in a while made me bust out laughing, that totally sounds like me!! lol

Awesome prizes Barb, can't wait to win one of them, my wish list for your pack are starting to mount up on me:)
I have been blessed with 10 grandsons and two grandaughters so the All Boy Pack is wonderful for me.I could do a book using that pack alone. I have also loved the Cowboys and Cowgirls pack. The vivid colors are great. Gerri
