Amanda was so into traditional scrapbooking that she quit her full-time job to work at a local scrapbook store. Before long, she was promoted to the corporate office as the Head of Design and Education for a national scrapbook store chain.
She embraced digital scrapbooking in the summer of 2006 after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. After taking a Photoshop class at a local community college, Amanda was hooked. She immediately recognized the potential. That same year she was asked to write a book on scrapbooking by a leading publishing company in the craft industry. Today she has released 3 (soon to be 4) books on digital scrapbooking, writes monthly articles for 4 magazines and recently launched www.amandadykan.com,
