Mimi Schramm

My name is Mimi Schramm. I love to create scrapbook pages and projects that are special to me and my family. I work in the 12x12 size most of the time with the occasional mini-book and canvas project. I would consider myself a fast scrapper who is able to meet deadlines. I have created layouts for several trade shows as well as creating to meet monthly obligations. I find that I stretch my creative ability and grow as a designer when I am challenged to do my very best. I love to use fun, colorful, meaningful and interesing products on my layouts. I find it exciting to discover creative and unexpected way to use the amazing variety of options that are out there for scrapbookers.

I would describe my style as bold and colorful. I like to build my pages around a story and a photograph and use papers and embellishments to enhance both. I love clean lines with a little bit of flair. I love to incorporate shapes into my page design, especially circles and curves. I strive to include meaningful journaling on every page. Most of all, I want my pages to tell the story of my life and the lives of my family.
