Hello!! My name is Carla Ironside and I live in Alberta, Canada. I am a wife, mom of two great kiddos, a proud cancer survivor, a Chartered Accountant by profession, and a Close to My Heart consultant for the last 5 years. My paper crafting hobby truly became my passion when I entered the blogging world about 4 years ago! I started scrapbooking in: 2001 My scrap item must have is: An ATG Tape Runner! What I love most about this hobby is: It gives me a creative outlet which I find is great for stress relief. Favorite source of inspiration is: The blogosphere, I follow countless crafty blogs! First design team: Scrap it With a Song, I totally went out of my comfort zone to put my work 'out there' and was shocked & thrilled to make the team. Design Team advice: Don't try to change your work to be what you think teams are looking for - follow your own style and make layouts you love - eventually you'll find the team that fits you!
