CROPPING CRUISES - Key Persons

Greta Hammond began scrapbooking over six years ago after the birth of her son. She needed an outlet after deciding to be a stay-at-home mama and scrapbooking proved to be that and so much more. She has since embraced the hobby as both a creative outlet and a vehicle to record her families memories. Greta has shared her passion for scrapbooking by teaching at her local scrapbook stores and has also had the privilege to work with a number of manufacturers in the industry. She currently designs for Scenic Route, Imagination Project, Fancy Pants and Provo Craft. She was thrilled to have been inducted into the Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame in 2006 and selected as a Memory Makers Master for 2008. Her work can be seen in Creating Keepsakes, Memory Makers, Scrapbooks, Etc, and Scrapbook Trends. She resides with her husband and two children in Northern Indiana. They have been the subject of thousands of photographs and are the main inspiration for her pages.
