Get to know Becky
I'm a diaper-changing, nose-wiping, classroom-volunteering mama with an entrepreneurial spirit. I genuinely love sharing ideas and seriously enjoy working with my husband. I am a huge fan of regular date nights, my mini-van, Sunday naps, and red velvet cake. Not a fan of vulgar language. I'm super inconsistent about working out. I have a thing for circles. And green. And reading scriptures on my iPad.
Gloves in the kitchen? Always. Beer? Nope, never. Roller coasters? Bring it. Stealing a kiss from my kids after they fall asleep each night? Check. As a family historian, I take at least one picture every single day. No exceptions. We have a very full and very blessed little life. I do my best to capture little slices and have a passion for helping others with a similar interest.
Beginnings
Born and raised in an awesome family with five brothers and fabulous parents, I am from a small railroad town in Maryland. At the age of 17, I moved to Utah to attend Brigham Young University, where I earned my BS degree in Family Science. During those college years two really significant things happened – I married an incredible guy, David Higgins, and an opportunity to have a career in scrapbooking fell out of the sky and landed right in my lap.

Evolution
I joined Creating Keepsakes magazine in 1997 and spent 12 years contributing to the premier scrapbooking magazine. My work included authoring monthly feature articles and columns, 9 published books (see timeline below), TV spots, product design, and traveling to teach. Aside from teaching live classes, my work was based out of our home office wherever we lived. David and I moved to Arizona and then Ohio for his post-grad schooling and training.

Now
In September 2009, I resigned from Creating Keepsakes. We launched Becky Higgins LLC so that I could carry out my passion for sharing ideas and solution-based scrapbooking products. Project Life was born shortly thereafter and more products are coming. Arizona is where David and I are raising our 3 young children – Porter , Claire, and Crew. I continue to enjoy the constant challenge in balancing all of my roles and responsibilities in life and find no greater joy than being at home with my family.
