Aimee D. Grenier

I would embrace the opportunity to work as a designer for a scrapbook product manufacturer, magazine or retail company. As well, I aspire to have my own idea book published someday. I am a skilled layout sketch artist and would enjoy the opportunity to exercise my creative abilities in this aspect. My abilities as a scrapbook artist are very diverse and I am always seeking to enhance my skills; therefore I am eager to embark upon all available opportunities that would permit me to grow creatively.

As a scrapbook enthusiast, I enjoy introducing this fabulous art to others. I have been teaching classes & make n' takes from my home for a few years now. On a personal level I would embrace the opportunity to travel and promote the industry of scrapbooking. With a background in sales and marketing, combined with my passion and love of scrapbooking; I feel that I could successfully meet the expectations with skill.

I would best describe my scrapbook style as being "dimensional". My friends refer to me as the "Manhatten" scrapper. I have a weakness for embellishments and often include a tasteful amount of accessories in my projects. I do, although, enjoy the finer details when it comes to my artistry and will often let the images speak for themselves. Each layout I create is unique in its design and never duplicated. I enjoy experimenting with my creations using a variety of techniques and color designs; but I would have to say my favorite "technique" is the altering of paper through tearing and inking. I love paper; the colors, dimensions, textures...I just can't seem to get enough. Although I enjoy creating with the lastest and greatest scrapbook products on the market, I am always eager to find non-traditional items that can be included within my projects. Each creation speaks from my heart whether it be through the journaling of my soul, my extensive search for "just the right" quote or poem or simply the combinantion of selected elements.
