Hi, I’m Katie Nelson—also known as Katie the Creative Lady—and I’ve been sharing creative inspiration and memory-keeping ideas online since 2005.

I believe that life is full of beauty, even in the small and simple moments—and that every person has a story worth telling. I offer inspiration, tools, and thoughtful guidance to help you document your life with intention—through memory keeping, journaling, and creative photography.

My creative passions include photography, digital designing, digital scrapbooking, and storytelling in all its forms. I’ve had the joy of seeing my work featured in several scrapbooking magazines and on platforms like The Daily Digi, Big Picture Classes, Becky Higgins, and Ali Edwards. For four years, I also co-hosted The Digi Show podcast, where I loved connecting with others about the art and joy of memory keeping.

A Bit More About Me

I’m a lifelong Utahn who finds inspiration in mountain views, quiet moments, and colorful creativity. My husband and I have known each other since 7th grade and have been married for over 33 years. We’re the proud parents of our son, Alex, who is autistic and loves trivia, music, and books—and our daughter, Riley, who is full of creativity, kindness, and joy. She’s married to Ryan, and together they have two darling little boys, Calvin and Caleb, and a sweet golden doodle named Piper.

When I’m not documenting memories or designing creative kits, you’ll probably find me building LEGO sets (yes, I collect mini figures!) or working on my side project: Toy to the World, where I share even more joy through playful creativity.
