Meet your Teachers...

Mimi Leinbach is 36 years old. She is a SAHM to 2 soccer loving boys Nick(10) and Jack(7)

 and when not scrapping can be sure to be found at a soccer game or helping out at school.

She have been married to Josh for almost 14 years. He has given her the freedom to

indulge herself in this hobby  and she just adores him for it. You could say she am obsessed,

completely and totally. She has been scrapping for 10+ years now and she thinks her

style is ever changing. She likes to try every technique at least once and some a lot more.

She is an acrylic and chipboard fanatic and loves to use them on almost every layout.

She also has a passion for patterned paper, which she can't seem to get enough of.

She has been published several times in Memory Makers Magazine and Books,

Scrapbooking and Cards Today, as well as Scrapbooking and Beyond magazine.

She also designed for several stores as well as

the manufacturer My Acrylic Album.
