Hot Topics...

Hi,
I’ve been so excited to tell you that it is our honor to host “VICKI BOUTIN” at The Scrapbook Junkie!
She will be coming to teach us three tremendous classes.
We will hold one layout class on Friday night, Sept. 19th and then an All-Day Class on Saturday making a 6x6 album, and another layout class on Saturday night, Sept. 20th!


For as long as she can remember Vicki has loved art and creating things, so when she was introduced to scrapbooking shortly after the birth of her first child, it was like a match made in heaven!

By combining her love for paper and products and photography Vicki has been able to create a fresh and approachable scrapping style. In 2006, she was honored to be added to the Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame. In 2008, Vicki became a member of the Creative Team for Better Homes and Gardens Scrapbooks, Etc, which she is excited to report will extend into 2009 when she will be added to their 10th Anniversary All Star team. Her designs have been published in numerous industry magazines and idea books and Vicki loves to share her passion for scrapbooking through teaching and workshops.

With a love for life and laughter, Vicki enjoys spending quality time with her family and friends and in her spare time she can be found shopping or taking in a good movie. She resides in St. Catharines, ON with her husband and two, sweet children.
