Hi! I’m Emily Spahn. I’m so excited to be a part of the first ever Gossamer Blue design team!  I am a mom, a wife, a music-teacher, a wannabe photographer, and, of course,  a scrapbooker! I live in Illinois, but I’m a Wisconsin girl at heart!   I spend my days teaching general music elementary students. I spend my evenings with my two cool kiddos Mirielle (3) and Henry (1) and my husband Justin.

I started scrapbooking in about fifth grade, when I made my first meticulously crafted page using white typing paper and a hand-drawn crayon title.  It was spectacular.  I’ve been hooked every since!  I started to scrap more seriously about five years ago.  Since then I’ve been lucky enough to have been on a number of design teams and to have been published in magazines like Creating Keepsakes, Scrapbooks, Etc., Scrapbooks & CardsToday, and Scrapbook Trends. I am also presently on the design team for Pebbles, Inc. and a member of the collective at write.click.scrapbook.  My favorite products include patterned paper, alphabet stickers, and maybe a punch or two. In fact, I’m pretty sure I could get rid of everything else in my scrap space and create with just those three items!  My style is simple and fun with a focus on the little details.

When I’m not scrapping…or teaching…or parenting…I enjoy writing, reading, music, and photography.  Feel free to check out my blog at http://justem.typepad.com.  Thanks to Lori for this great experience!
