The concept of Scrappin' Sports & More , a company producing sports-oriented & school-related scrapbook papers and stickers, was truly a vision from God in the spring of 2001.  Within 3 months, Scrappin' Sports & More set up as a vendor at our first trade show with 20 different papers, order forms, brochures, etc, and there had been virtually no real obstacles to overcome to get to this point!  We acknowledged that God's hand was in it from the very beginning, and we felt His mighty blessing on us.  We continued to add to our product line, advertise in consumer magazines, developed a website, praised God every day , tithed off our profits, and Scrappin' Sports & More! grew due to the wisdom and blessings God continued to provide. 

My husband was suddenly gone after HIA, 2003, and I was left with a massive heartache, many, many orders to fill, and numerous other daunting tasks he had previously taken care of.  That is when I discovered that many of the products we had just sold at HIA were not even printed!  Only by God's grace was I able to accomplish what seemed to be the impossible.  My staff all rallied to the needs as they arose, and what at first appeared too monumental to overcome, was conquered, little by little.  Once again God carried me through this season of radical adjustments. I continue to praise God every day for the favor and wisdom He has provided to move Scrappin' Sports & More forward. 

I believe I was given the idea, insight and concept from God to produce this sports paper line.  Now I can take the blessings that God provides and pour them right back into His Kingdom!  And that is really my vision - to have an impact on people's lives by seeding the blessings that God provides for me, back into the work of reaching the world with the message of salvation through Christ!

Scrappin' Sports & More started with a line of 20 papers in July, 2001. Our line now features over 250 products, including papers, rolled stickers, cardstock stickers, brads, with more new products continuously being added to the line.  My testimony is one of God's mercy, grace, power and love.  As my husband had written in an article published in Scrapbook Premier shortly before he was gone, I continue to "walk by faith under the blessing of God's provision in my life!"
