My name is Paige Evans and I have been scrapbooking since I was 16 years old when I got my very first job at a little local scrapbook store in Redmond, Washington. I’ve been scrapbooking over half my life and love it as much today as I did back then. I have 8 signature scrapbooking collections with Pink Paislee with a 9th in the works. I have taught classes in 6 states and 9 countries – I love teaching how to create eye-catching layouts as well as coptic bookbinding courses. I live in the suburbs of Denver with my husband of 12 years, our son Fox, and daughter Jane, as well as a menagerie of pets – we have a dog, cat, bunny, guinea pig, and two beta fish. I love to create something every day!
