I have loved creating with Graphic 45 products for a long time and have decided to dip my toes into the DT world and audition :) The unique and amazing papers that this company produces allows my imagination to soar and inspires my creativity!
Here are some of my designs...single page layouts, double page layouts, cards and a Configurations box. When designing layouts, I find the papers are so versatile and can be used for both heritage and contemporary photos.
First, I have four older layouts and a Christmas Configurations box that I designed for display at my local scrapbook store.

My passion is teaching (I have an Education degree and used to teach high school English).....and now I enjoy designing and teaching at
Urban Scrapbook, a wonderful store where I live in Edmonton. Prior to this, I taught classes at
Scrap-A-Lot, another lovely scrapbook shop.
Here are some layouts and cards that I've taught in classes over the past couple of years. These double pages are challenging to view on the blog, but if you click on the photos, they will enlarge, and you can see the elements up close and personal :)

As well, I'm honoured to be the Guest Designer 2012 for
Canadian Scrapbooker magazine. The following layouts and cards were published in the last two issues....

Currently, I'm surrounded by "Little Darlings"....the lovely new baby collection that just made its debut at CHA. I'm designing another double page layout class and couldn't be happier, spending my time looking at the adorable images on the papers.
It would be an amazing experience to be a part of the Graphic 45 Design Team, and I would love the opportunity to work with one of the most innovative, artistic and exciting companies in the industry.
