My name is Traci Penrod and I have been creating scrapbooks since I was in high school. I have been married to my high-school sweetheart for 24 years and we have two wonderful boys -- one in college and one in high school.
After a 17 year career in the pharmaceutical industry that just didn't tap into my creative side enough, I retired and went to work in the scrapbook industry. I enjoyed designing albums, store samples, classes, and mini album kits so much that, in October of 2011, I decided to take a leap of faith and open my own company.
Artsy Albums is a product of a deeply rooted passion. After losing my mom to breast cancer when I was a teenager, I learned the importance of our memories, the pictures we take, and the stories that may never get told if we do not document them. I truly love to create beautiful albums that focus on the photos and the stories behind them. I believe that our stories may be beautiful, encouraging, messy, or complicated ...regardless, someone, someday, will want, or need to hear them.
I welcome the opportunity to help you turn your photos, your stories, into keepsakes that will be shared for generations.
