About Alicia Monahan

“Hi, I’m Alicia, and I’m addicted to Project Life! I have been an off-and-on scrapbooker and paper-crafter since I was a teenager. Since discovering Project Life, I’ve really started documenting our current lives, and I love doing it. I am a stay-at-home Mom to my children and ‘step’-children, who are currently ages 7-13; three girls and the youngest is my ‘baby’ boy. I have a completely spoiled and adored Shiba Inu dog that I truly love taking pictures of, along with three cats, two ferrets, and a snake. We live just outside of Portland, Oregon and I really love the Pacific Northwest, even if I sometimes desperately miss my home in Nevada. I love including stamping, washi tape and messy ink or paints in my artwork and my very favorite tools are my sewing machine and Silhouette Cameo. I’m so excited to be a part of the fabulous and inspiring Design Team for Honey Bee Scraps and I look forward to sharing my stamping ideas with you!”

Scrappy Savings Sunday

May 17, 2015

I’m a saver, I don’t know about you, but I know many crafty people are. We save things knowing we can use them…someday. That day is today and I have a simple idea to use one of those saved things: paint chips! I find myself picking up a few paint chip colors whenever I’m at […]
