 Please welcome our April guest designer, Lisa-Marie Watling with her stunning take on our challenge this month.

Green with Nature theme



My name is Lisa-Marie; I live in leafy Durbanville, which is in the Western Cape, South Africa.  I live here with my daughter Isabella and my life partner Andre.  I have been scrapping for 11 or 12 years, give or take - I have lost count!  I love using lots of layering and ephemera on my layouts and tend to always do single pages, which predominantly feature the love of my life - my daughter! You can find my page on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=scrap%20paper%20scissors and my personal blog is https://wordpress.com/view/scrappaperscissorsblog75.wordpress.com

Our March guest ...

 Please welcome our March guest designer,  PHILLIS WALRATH with her delightful take on our challenge this month.

Select your ONE colour from the image (BLUE, BROWN or YELLOW) and create your layout on WHITE cardstock
Criteria for March – TRAVEL theme

Hello, my name is Phillis Walrath.  I’ve been an avid scrapbooker for 25+ years.  I am a retired school librarian and have been married for almost 30 years. I began documenting my 2 children’s lives in photos after some friends invited me to a craft day.  I also make cards and sometimes I make my own embellishments.  I have recently begun to explore junk journaling.   For me it is all about preserving the memories.  My go to embellishments are buttons, ink, and ribbon or string.  I usually start with a sketch and let the page flow from there. I now have a grandson, who is now the person I scrap the most.
