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 my sweetheart, David Higgins, and an opportunity to have a career in scrapbooking fell out of the sky and landed right in my lap.

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 teaching, teaching, teaching. Other than traveling to teach, most of this work was based out of my home office, as David and I moved to Arizona and then Ohio for his post-grad schooling and training.

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. 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.
