Special Guest Designer Monica Lowrance

We're pleased to introduce Special Guest Designer Monica Lowrance!

Hello all, I'm Monica Lowrance from Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. I have a wonderful teenage son and a pug named George. I've been scrapbooking/crafting for many years now. I love how this hobby has grown and taken on a life of its own. I love to explore with a variety of mediums.

I am so very excited at the chance to design something for Berry71Bleu. It's a pleasure to create with a variety of tools: paints, inks, embossing powders. I love learning new techniques, and about new products and sharing them on my blog. Crafting is such a wonderful outlet for me. I currently design for 3rd Eye, SOUS-Die Cut Team and Paper Temptress. Thank you for letting me share with you all.

I'd be delighted for your to visit my blog, Happy Scrappn 2: http:happyscrappn2.blogspot.com.

Here's the tag that Ms Marivic sent me. It's gorgeous! I had so much fun designing around these colors with my 7 Dots Studio Wonderland papers.

I love the colors on this tag!

I used some Vintage Trinkets from Prima. My friend Cathi O'Neill sent me some pretty flowers. I colored one of the white ones with Lindy's Stamp Gang - Industrial Chic - Steel Shimmerz.

In the above photo I used my Stencil Girl Butterfly Stencil, newly designed by Maria McGuire, and my ShimmerZ -TextureZ in Gritty Graphite.

I love the vintage direction I was able to go with these papers and that awesome tag! Have you seen the November Berry71bleu Mood Board? I hope you enter. There's still time!

From that moment, I became totally amazed and thrilled by all the beautiful papers and decorations in the art of scrapbooking. After some time as a captivated scrapper, I got curious to create my own patterns. I have always had a devotion for color and form. I had access to great printing facility, as I worked at a printers office. Since 2007, I have been blessed to be able to work with my great passion - to design and create colored coordinated paper."
