My name is April Cortinas and I am ecstatic to be a part of the Design Team for Scrapbook Paradise. I have been scrapbooking for over 10 ½ years and love doing it. I am constantly taking photos of my family every where we go; even if it's just to grab a bite to eat. I know many people who think I am a bit crazy and obsessed with this hobby, but if they could understand the love of scrapbooking then I think they would change their mind about me. I currently own a Canon Rebel XT and love it.

My family is what drives me to the inspiration and creativity that I come up with for my layouts. I have been married to my husband Vince for 3 years. We have three beautiful children, Dylan who is eight, Hannah who is three and Micah who is one. As you can see I am a busy mom but with the help of Super Dad I am able to have my very own scrapbook room and able to take time to enjoy the hobby that I love the most.

I am looking forward to doing many layouts for the store and hope that each and every one of you enjoys them.
