Please welcome our Guest Designer this week, Chris Dodaj! She is actually the first PEA I have met and she is a DOLL!
Hey! I'm Chris Dodaj (pronounced dough-dash). I am super excited to be this week's guest designer.
I have been crafting in some way shape or form for as long as I can remember. My Mom had a little business making gorgeous dried flower wreath's and arrangements and I used to love staying up late with her in our basement just creating away.
My Mom introduced me to the world of stamping in the fall of 1999 just after my wedding. I fell in love instantly. It wasn't until 2003 that I caught the scrapbooking bug. I can still remember the time and place when I saw my first CK (which I still have) at Michaels. I have been hooked ever since. I would say that the biggest (and most shocking) compliment is that people say they love my handwriting. I could never just write script or just print - it's always been a mix. As far as my style, I am a little romantic/vintage/artsy, but hopefully still evolving.
I am a scrapbooker for so many reasons; my little girl Brenna, my hubby, Jeno, my family and my friends. I love that scrapbooking brings so many of my interests....my passions together. I love materials, journaling and photography and scrapbooking allows me express myself, my feelings and keep track of our own personal family history, but most of all those "everyday" not so perfect moments. My mission to record the stories and make it look beautiful in the process.
I have been published in a Scrapbook Trends Magazine Books and magazine, Legacy and Stampington & Co. I am also on the design team for Creative Cafe and have recently found my true calling......teaching scrapbooking classes.
If I am not scrapbooking I am probably on eBay or cooking or somewhere with my Nikon around my neck. I have actually tried to plan vacations around visiting scrapboooking stores - It's worked........once!!
Thank you so much Chris! It is great to have you with us this week!!
Now let's play!!
Can't wait to see what you create with these colors!

OK, this is probably cheating (I could never come up with a LO in 20minutes!!), but this is the LO I finished yesterday. The colors are exactly the same! And I thought I was clever coming up with them all by myself! ;-)

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if my colors are spot on, they're a little darker than the combo and I used a lot of black but here it is:

I finished my layout on time this week, but I added blue to the combo because I really wanted to use the water paper and stickers on this layout.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
Here is my layout, this is the first time I've played along, it was a lot of fun.
