About me:
Hi! My name is Leslie Ashe and I live in Fort Worth, Texas with my sweet husband, Alan.
Our 2 children, Savannah and Shaypher have just entered in college - which makes us empty nesters for the first time.
Even though they're both off on their own they will always remain the main reason I scrapbook. I'm so lucky, my entire family is my biggest supporters and fans of what I do.

I couldn't ask for anything more! :)

I've been scrapbooking since 1996.
I was introduced by a friend after going to a scrapbook party.
There's been no looking back since. I consider scrapbooking life in the making.

It's my passion and joy!

My favorite thing is knowing that my future generation gets to see how we live and love life to it’s fullest. Up close and personal - in a scrapbook.

Bright colors and embellishments are my FAVE!

I think my style is a bit of sassy with a dash of fun and a pinch of whatever I want.

There aren't any "rules" to scrapbooking, so I just sit & create...to create.

**I've had work published in Scrapbook Trends, Creating Keepsakes Simply Handmade and CARDS magazines.

OBJECTIVE: My main objective is to have fun creating. To enjoy every

single second of creating work for manufacturer's design teams,

creative design teams as well as magazines.I would also love to be a freelance

designer. Being inspired and giving inspiration as well. To me that's what scrapbooking

is all about! My goal is to be constantly working on designs.
