{Style}

* Artistic, resourceful, and productive are the best words I can use to describe my scrapping style. If I had to choose a name for my style it would probably be something like “Artful Scrapping”. I love combining mixed media art and mediums with scrapbook supplies! I’m always ready to try new things, but I also like spending time fine tuning techniques that I already like to use. Good photography is extremely important to me, and I strive to improve my own every chance I get. My layouts and other scrapbooking projects are usually easy to re-create, and I love sharing new and old techniques that have worked well for me. I let my pictures, the story behind the layout, or simply my mood, determine whether I create a simple graphic design, a collage, or a clean and classic look.
