"I have been scrapbooking since my first child was born, 14 years ago. It has been so fun to see scrapbooking evolve and change over the years. Gone are the days of using decorative scissors on photos and designs have given way to a cleaner, timeless look. I have been designing professionally for 8 years and taught for 6. I love the creative process of scrapbooking: taking photos of the people I love, adding papers, colors, textures, embellishments, and topping it off with journaling to capture the essence of our lives. I find that scrapbooking helps me recognize and capture precious feelings that I have for my family. It is also rewarding to have something tangible to show after a few hours of work, that can’t be undone (unlike my daily dishes and laundry)."

"A little bit about me: I have a wonderful family - a handsome husband, two sons, and two daughters. They keep me very busy and are patient (sometimes) with their trigger happy camera-toting mother. I love to cook and experiment with new recipes, garden, read, and take walks in the sunshine."

Great job with all of these projects, Tamara! I especially love your Road Trip Cruisin page- love the die cut background and how you journaled around the shape- along with the arrow patterned paper, it gives a nice feeling of movement to the page.
ReplyDeleteOh, and your Christmas card - love how you had each of your kids hold up a Noel letter! I only have two kids, though...guess I better get my hubby and me in there. ;) thanks so much for sharing your talent with us.

ReplyDeleteI loved all her work!!! But my favorite was "Christms Magic"...the clean design and that included 4 photos.
ReplyDeleteMonica E.
How can I choose just one?? They are all fabulous! The one that caught my eye first though, was Cruisin' :D
ReplyDeleteI adore the If the Slipper Fits layout, but the Christmas Magic would be a close second.
ReplyDeleteHmmm....I am having a hard time deciding which lay out I like best! I love all of the layouts with the Enchanted Collection as I am a new grandma of a precious baby girl and I can see her in any of those layouts! I also have 2 boys so I adore the layouts using the Dino-roar Collection. To cute! So, as you see, I have a major dilemma here!
ReplyDeleteAdorable layouts!!! my favorite is the Road trip cruisin'.
ReplyDeleteWow adorable creations, love them all.
