ALLISON CAHOON
Designer

I am originally from Southern Alberta, Lethbridge to be exact. I have recently graduated and become a Radiation Therapist at the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton. I also got married this past August. Crafts, painting, and drawing have always been activities that I enjoy.

I began working at "Once upon a Memory" before my senior year of High School. Instead of playing basketball when school began, I decided that I would continue with my scrapbook addiction and work as

much as I could while balancing school. I helped design demo pages for the store bulletin boards and submitted pages to Creating Keepsakes magazine. The first issue I appeared in was "The Big Idea Book of Teen Memories." Since then, my pages have appeared in SEVENTEEN magazine, the 2002 CK Scrapbook Idea Book, and the Beary Patch Idea books. Once I moved to Edmonton, I started to create demo pages for Scrapbooker's Paradise in Calgary and Lethbridge. Now, I as a designer for The Beary Patch, I hope I can inspire someone out there. :)
