Hi, everyone!
I'm introducing a Scrapbooker on Creo by Lady Katutz' Guests On Spotlight.
My very 5th Guest on Spotlight is my former Boss, a co-Administrator at SGC, none other than our well-loved Lou of Southern Girls Challenge (SGC) Blog. She works together with co-Administrator Tracy Jackson.
I've worked both with Lou and Tracy for 1 year from September 6, 2012 to September 5, 2013. I worked mainly as their Design Team Member for paper traditional scrapbook layouts. From producing or creating scrapbook layouts to scrapbook LOs for Southern Girls, it was a fun design team member stint for me to be with them.
My work with Lou and the Southern Girls team helped me transition from paper traditional scrapbook LOs to mixed media layouts. The clean lines are still there but my layouts were not as simple anymore. It is indeed, a very nice team for me to transition with in my scrapbook art.
I also worked for them as a semi-Creative Writer, working my paper layouts with Scrapbooking.com US online magazine.
Below are the prepared questions and her corresponding answers to each:
I hope you get to know her thru this post of mine about her.
