Today on the show we have Shannan Manton – a mostly digital/hybrid scrapbooker who spends her free time at her desk playing in Photoshop – has been documenting real life since 2008. Shannan also loves music (like, a lot), cooking, TV and movies, and lives in Sydney, Australia with her husband, teenage daughter Zara, 11 year old son Eli, and teeny-dog-with-a-big-yap Luna.
SUMMARY //
Shannan Manton starts off by telling A + K how she got started scrapbooking, and how she inevitably came to the realization that she could “throw out the rule book” and be as silly and ‘real’ has she wants to be when documenting her life!
Shannan discusses how efficiency WINS when it comes to her scrapbooking, and how – even though a majority of what she creates lives on the computer – she shares her work with the world.
The girls talk to Shannan about her plans for making stuff in 2021 and how she doesn’t want to have time limits placed on her scrapbooking.
