February guest designer... Dorlene.

 

I am a wife, mother and grandmother.  I started scrapbooking in 2000 and boy, has my style changed!  Then again, so has scrapbooking in general.  I love the process from taking the photos, finding the perfect layout and then gathering all the supplies to go with it.  I love to try new techniques and products whenever possible and I love using sketches.  They are a great jumping point especially when you're short of time or having creative block.  

The diamonds on the sketch really caught my eye.  I thought the scattering would be a great way to use up some scraps - which is what I did.  I also love a multi-photo layout.  I have so many of the birth of my grandbaby so this one page sketch worked and will be a jumping point for the remaining photos.  I sure had fun figuring out where to put the diamonds across the page.  I love how the page turned out and I hope you do too.
