Hi! I'm Keely Yowler from Georgetown, Kentucky, USA. I have been scrapbooking/paper crafting for 12 years. I love creating layouts, cards, mini-albums, and altered projects. My inspirations are my sweet hubby, our 5 kiddies, 10 dogs, and 2 cats. There is never a dull moment in my house :) I'm proud to have been published in several magazines. My latest publication was the Summer 2010 cover of Altered Arts Magazine.

I have always love creating. I saw Lisa Bearnson on QVC, ordered her scrapbook kit, and the rest is history. I love everything about scrapbooking.

Have you ever created anything you've hated?

I've never created anything that I've hated. Usually, if I'm not happy with a project, I leave it for a few hours. When I come back, I can look at it with fresh eyes and have a new perspective.

~Thanks so much Keely for your fabby interview!!! Make sure you leave Keely some love.
