Spotlight of the week: Monica Peters

Monica Peters is a stay-at-home mom who lives in Tigard, Oregon (a suburb of Portland). (Monica and Mikey are scrapbooking buddies.) Monica has been married to Ron for 21 years and they have two boys, Jarod (13) and Cory (8). (She also has a very feisty kitty named Zoe.) Monica started scrapbooking in 1997 and began cardmaking about five years ago ONLY as a way to use her leftover scraps. Monica says that cardmaking is an obsession now equal to scrapbooking. Her proudest scrapbooking moment was when a layout about her brother-in-law was published in the September issue of Simple Scrapbooks. Monica can often be found plugged into her iPod puttering around her yard. She has also been trying to be more of a regular at the gym. Monica says she loves to get all of her household chores done and curl up with a good book. She enjoys recipes for quick and easy meals (so she has more time to scrap)! Monica’s favorite colors are orange and green and they show up frequently on her layouts and cards. Monica comments that she, “…loves being in the swap and am always wowed and inspired by the cards I receive every month.” We are glad you are in our swap, Monica, as your cards wow and inspire US!
