Event Coordinator
Liann Ponce
As owner and event coordinator, Liann Ponce is an avid scrapbooker, photographer, mother, and world traveler. Growing up in Iowa,
Liann moved to Santa Barbara in 1985 and later moved to San Francisco,…. and then Modesto and then back to Santa Barbara County.
Being a lover of travel and adventure, Liann has backpacked around the world and has visited over sixteen countries,
photographing the beauty of the different lands and its people.
Because of a love to travel and scrapbook, Liann and A World of Memories scrapbook studio owner, Kathleen Grundy,
envisioned a busy working mom's dream in scrapbook retreats. Since 2005, Relax and Scrap Weekends and A World of Memories has worked to provide a weekend of fun,
food, and pampering all set to a backdrop of scenic beauty.
Since having her two children, Liann Ponce has altered the focus of her photographs to her kids and husband/co-owner,
Carlos Ponce and their little family "adventures".
Check out Liann's and her artistic partners work in the Gallery.
