Hello there! My name is Jana Eubank. I am thrilled to be a Guest Designer here at My Mind’s Eye. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’ll be on Cloud 9 about it for the rest of the year!
Scrapbooking is my passion. I can’t help it! I grew up in a family that owns a printing & copying business so my love for paper comes naturally! As a girl, I loved to help copy, collate, fold, bind, staple and pad projects together. I would often create my own little books to draw and write in. In school, I was obsessed with having the biggest pack of Crayola crayons and looked forward to any lesson incorporating art. I collected mini Hello Kitty stationery sets, Mrs. Grossman’s stickers and smelly stickers. Remember those? I wish they still made them! The cupcake one was my favorite!
When scrapbooking emerged mainstream as a hobby, I was immediately enamored with the fun papers and supplies. I thought to myself, “This is for me!” I began to create scrapbooks in high school and college alongside my Photography 101 classes, and then became even more serious about the hobby when I married and began my family.
I have been married to my best friend, Kevin, for almost 13 years. We have four children: three daughters (Jensyn, Maryn and Camryn) and one son (Owen). We live in Bountiful, Utah. I feel lucky to be a stay-at-home mom and scrapbook during the spare minutes of my day. I love this hobby! I love that it celebrates life and helps me pay tribute to the people and memories that are important to me. It has taught me to enjoy everyday moments and cherish them for what they are.
When I am not scrapbooking, I enjoy looking for inspiration in home design magazines, children’s clothing catalogs, and print ads. I am fascinated by color combinations, pattern play, lines, textures and shapes. I love clever ideas and unique details. I love whimsical, vintage and classic elements. I love to look at the world around me and try to incorporate those ideas into my designs.
