Leslie

I am the owner of A Paper Affair. I have always been a crafty person, whether it was sewing, craft projects for the kids, or decor items for the house. With a glue gun in my hand I felt I could do anything. As my daughters have grown up I needed a new outlet for my creativity. My oldest daughter got into scrapbooking during her last year of high school and she decided to share her new love with her mother. And the rest is history! I have been a "Stamper" for may years, but scrapbooking opened up a whole new world  for me. The type of scrapbooking I like is simple and clean layouts. I also work on a lot of small album projects, canvases, and special event cards. I run the Wedding Invitation program through A Paper Affair and If you would like to schedule a sit down with me for ideas and creating hand made wedding invitations please contact me at the store or email me at lesliepf@apaperaffair.com

Hi there! I am Leslie's oldest daughter and I have been with her through the rollercoaster ride that is owning a business. I remember opening the doors of A Paper Affair in Namaio Center in February 2003. Now our current location in St. Albert is twice the size with more opportunity to carry the product requested by our customers and a large classroom to hold both classes and in store crops. I have been scrapbooking since 2000, the year I graduated high school. Once I completed my first album I was hooked. Lucky for me I have only one addiction: scrapbooking! My layouts are all completed in a 12 x 12 formate and I spend a lot of time on each layout. I like to create art with each page I complete, but I procrastinate when it comes to journaling! My favorite product lines include Doodlebug Designs, KI Memories, and Basic Grey. Happy scrap n' everyone!
