  My name is Giavanna Lau and almost everyone (except my Mom) calls me Gia for short. For the past three years I have lived in Hawaii on the island of Oahu, but that could change because of my day job. I wear several different hats-my favorite one is mom to seven children by birth and four by marriage. I am also a civilian doctor for the Armed Forces who specializes in post traumatic stress disorder.

  
  

  I have been scrapbooking since my son Justin, now in law school, was a baby (and I don’t like to think about how many years it has been!) Raising children is more fun when you are creative and don’t mind getting a little messy. I also believe with all my heart that art heals. My creative resume includes designing for Memory Works and Altered Pages, publication in Unruly Paper Arts, and teaching an art workshop for children. My most recent adventure is co-founding Clique Kits, a brand new paper crafting monthly kit club and online community. I love my husband Joel, a professional photographer, wonderful father, and supportive husband. I could not do any of this without him!

  
  

AND...we also have a special project made by one of our talented stamp designers.  To kick off this CELEBRATION, here are two projects from the lovely and talented Liz Allen.
