Natalie - Creative Team Member

Hello everyone, I am finally back with a introduction of my second CT member and sister of Melissa. Please welcome Natalie.

Natalie - Bio

         

                                   

                                            

"Hi I’m Natalie! I’m a California dreamer who currently lives in New York; I love scrap booking, listening to music, and making memories with friends and family.  Thanks so much to Lydia for letting me share!"

 

I also sent Natalie some quick questions to answer. 

 

1. When did you start crafting? I started when I was about ten, but it was really last year that I’ve become obsessed with it!  

 

2. What is your favourite craft? Definitely Paper crafting. I love doing Project Life, Mini Books, and 8.5 by 11 scrapbook layouts!

 

3. Do you say you have a style of crafting? I would say clean lines, and super modern.

 

4. Why do you document/craft? I document and craft to remember all the fun small and big memories throughout the year. It’s so cool to look back on your albums and see all the amazing things you did! I also do it because I love it. Playing with paper and getting creative is so much fun!

 

5. What are some main products you use? I use Studio Calico kits, Kelly Purkey’s stamps and paper, and Project Life kits.

 

6. What are your favourite craft stores/do you have any nearby you? I don’t have any nearby me now because I’ve moved. I use to have a Michaels five minutes away from my house and I used to go there all the time. For online stores, I use Amazon, Paper Issues, and Studio Calico.

NSD (National Scrapbooking Day) Layout Share #1 - 'Special One' & 'Pictures Of Me'

Morning all. I hope you had a great day yesterday celebrating in scrapbooking. I sure did with a late night of live chats and scrapping with The Scrappery girls.

This morning I am going to share with you 2 12x12 layouts I did last weekend.

The first one, I love how it turned out. It is simple bit I love it.

I was having trouble with picking a title and then I just started to sing these song lyrics.

I had a go at using tissue paper. I only own white tissue paper so what I did to colour it, I used my gelatos.

And just a little cluster of embellishments.

My second layout is'nt my favourite, but I will share any way.

It was just a quick layout using up some of my Sn@p products.

 And a row of clusters.

So sorry for those who were waiting for more blog posts yesterday, ended up busy.

Today I will have properly have another 2-3 blog posts today. I really need to start on my challenge that I set everyone. I will be sharing #myselfiescrapbook later today also and will be sharing the 1 and only 12x12 layout I did in a 3 hour period of last nights Scrappery chat.

I hope you all have a great day.
