January Guest Designer---Phillis!

You can find more of Phillis' work on her scrapbook blog: Just find time to scrapHello, my name is Phillis Walrath.  I am from upstate NY and by upstate I mean right next to the border.  I live 1 hour south of Montreal, Canada.  I began scrapbooking when my kids were small, maybe about 20 years ago.   I have never looked back.  I love working with sketches  to tell the story of what my photo is about.  My go to embellishment lately are thread, string, or ribbon and buttons.  I mostly scrap chronologically.  I have many books filled with pages of my daughter, age 23 and my son, age 25.  They each have their own collection of books.  I often make 2 pages of the same event so that each can have the page in their own book.

Phillis decided to play along with our single page sketch this month and added some fun mixed media elements! Here's what she came up with:

We hope you too will decide to play along with our challenges this month and then maybe you will get to be our next featured Guest Designer! Have a wonderful new year everyone!
