About Me

I am custom scrapbook designer and owner Julie Vander Pol.

It all started more than twenty five years ago, when I was 13 years old. I graduated from 8th grade and wanted to preserve these memories.

I graduated from high school in 2000 and pursued a degree in mechanical engineering. I graduated in 2004 and began to work full time for a small manufacturing facility where I worked from 1999 until 2007. In July of 2007 we had our second child and then in October 2007 our family moved from Michigan to Minnesota. At this time I persued being a full time custom scrapbook designer; until this time I was only a part time custom scrapbook designer. Then in May of 2009 we welcomed our third child. In 2012 we suffered from secondary infertility-4 miscarriages total, 2 late term. After testing and a diagnosis our little rainbow baby was born in June of 2013. We suffered from another miscarriage in 2014 and nother little rainbow baby was born in June 2015. We then suffered from another miscarriage in 2016 and another little rainbow baby was born in July 2017. We are so blessed! After a short maternity leave I started scrapbooking for others full time again.

My wonderful husband, Mark, and I have a beautiful daughter Alexia, five precious sons Tytus, Elliot, Reuben, Malcolm, and Dexter, and 6 angel babies. I am now a work at home mom-staying home with my kids while being a full time scrapbook designer. We live in the middle of nowhere on a farm in the southwest corner of Minnesota near a tiny town called Edgerton.

Other things I enjoy along with scrapbooking are photography, web design, hiking, biking, traveling, quilting, crafts, and sports.

Each scrapbooker has a personal scrapbooking style. As a custom scrapbook designer I am able to branch out to the many needs of clients and conform to what your individual style is.
