The wonderful Ruby!

I am just so excited :) My littlest scrapper friend, Ruby, who is - ahem, ah, about 30 years younger than I - was seeking photos to scrap so I sent her one of me and she has done the most amazing job!
This girl is going to go places in the scrapping world and I am so proud to be able to say I knew her when she was starting out. We met over at the Scrapbooking Memories forum and she was the brains behind the Ready, Steady, Scrap challenges there!

Please go and visit her wonderful blog and check out her work - it is so fresh and vibrant!

Scrappers with Crocs!

I love it when my worlds collide!

I love it when people see the funny side of life!

Therefore, you know I LOVE this blog, which I was alerted to on the blog of Angie Pederson!

So here are my contributions: a LO I did for This Is Me challenge, the photo, which I originally made for the Deck of Me challenge last year and - most wondorously - a wild croc in its natural habitat, which Melissa and I discovered last weekend at Cruden Farm (a gorgeous garden owned by 99yo Dame Elizabeth Murdoch, mother of Rupert. Yes, THAT Rupert Murdoch!) We did not stage this one, we peered to see what might have unearthed the soil at the foot of a gum tree, and that is exactly what we found!!!!

AND ... how cool are these???

And the Rachael Scholz creator is quite local to me! I so want a pair of my own!

WOW! Those who scrap for other people

A fabulous talent found on Ebay, this woman creates scrapbook pages for other people and that includes doing her own artwork!

About my work
I only use *premium* scrapbook papers and embellishments! Basic Grey, Bo Bunny, Flair Designs, Prima Flowers and Bazzil Papers & Cardstocks are some of my favorites (to name just a few of course)- shopping for the latest and greatest paper and embellishments is the BEST part of creating these albums. All products are Acid/Lignin free.
All artwork you see in my layouts from carousel horses, tear bears to fire trucks are designed by me using Bazzill Cardstock and Prisma Color Pencils & Chalk- I do not use templates. You will also find some clip art or 3 D art layouts used from various artists courtesy of PC Crafter. I graduated Cum Laude with a BA in Fine Arts- I take a tremendous amount of pride in everything I create - so you can be sure that each page you receive will be the best of quality and design!
Each page is meticulously designed, and 3 dimensionally embellished to create depth. Sometimes that can be hard to capture with digital images, so please check out my Portfolio for close ups.
Turn around time is dependent on the extent of artwork requested, and when I receive your information/pictures etc. Please email me with any questions on this! If you need additional information about my custom albums, please feel free to email me! Thank you so much for considering my auctions!
