Paper Crafting Style
- My work is primarily comprised of clean and classic designs. I often incorporate romantic or whimsical aspects into my work and I strive to use a variety of colors. My pages vary from the simple with minimal embellishments to complex incorporating different techniques and trends. However, my focus is always on the photos and the story.
- Aside from some journaling and occasional titles, I do not do digital work. While I appreciate the look of a digital page, I do not consider it paper crafting. My basic thought is: If there is no danger of gluing my fingers together, it's not scrapping!
PhilosophyI believe that every project from pages to home decor should be about the story you want to tell or the message you want send. I also believe that continually challenging myself to try new techniques and explore new trends will help me to grow as a designer.
