Tina Lewis has been a familiar face at The Shopping Channel since 1995 and has brought some of the most fun and innovative craft kits to Canadians. An expert crafter, Tina has been manufacturing crafts and hobby products for TV and major retailers for over 15 years. In fact, she has invented some of the most successful craft and hobby products ever sold!

Her most recent focus has been paper crafting and scrapbooking, a hobby that she personally enjoys. Tina is a true shutterbug and has taken thousands of pictures of family, friends, school days and vacations through the years. They were all just sitting in a shoebox until she discovered scrapbooking - a hobby that combined her love of photography, design and crafting.

But she found the cost of scrapbooking materials to be very expensive in the retail marketplace. "With the cost of one finished scrapbook page being $20 or more - and a complete scrapbook costing upwards of $400 - I knew that I had to design a kit that would be easy for everyone to use. It needed to be versatile and value packed so everyone could get in on the fun!"

The scrapbooking trend has taken the world by storm and has become the modern day quilting bee! Women of all ages and skill levels now gather to create beautiful and personalized accounts of their own histories in scrapbook albums. These albums preserve and protect photographs so these memories can be passed through the generations.

Tina's passion for finding joy in life has compelled her to use her skills and knowledge of the crafting business to create the all-inclusive Memories Direct scrapbooking kit. This comprehensive kit contains 3,000 pieces of top quality scrapbooking materials all at an affordable price.

The popularity of the Memories Direct kit has been phenomenal. "The most rewarding thing for me is seeing someone's ideas and life's memories come alive with this kit."

Tina says, "I love to see what people have created and watching kids' faces light up when they see they've accomplished great things by themselves - making scrapbook pages come alive with their favorite photos of their family, friends and pets."
