Sketchbook Guest Designer: Elizabeth Gardner

Sharing her talent using the new Sketchbook line is the fabulous Elizabeth Gardner!

Short bio: I am currently in the middle of a big move from Orange County, California to Kentucky. (We are literally moving THIS week!) We have 3 kids and one on the way. As a family we're going through so many changes this year that my head is spinning. But I'm along for the ride and can't wait to see where this journey takes us. Recently I retired from a full time sign artist position for Trader Joe's. Although I really loved my job I will be focusing on being a full time Mom, Wife, and Scrapbooker. I could not be happier about that!

How did you get started scrapbooking? The first time I ever scrapbooked was to make a personal gift for my then boyfriend for Valentine's Day. I guess it worked because he's my husband now :) It's crazy to think that for years I avoided the scrapbook section of the craft store like the plague. Now I feel like I live there! All it took was that one album to hook me.

What is your favorite American Crafts product? If you twist my arm to pick one American Crafts product that I like the most (although it is REALLY hard because there are SO many) it would be the patterned paper. It comes in so many varieties of colors and patterns, and is super versatile. I also can simply NOT live without Thickers. I use them on Every. Single. Project.

FLOWERS FOREVER by Elizabeth Gardner

I fussy cut different patterns and placed them on a painted canvas. Then I added layers of stamping, sequins for a little bling, and a quote. Viola, a wall hanging!
