WELCOME TAMMY :)

Hi everyone

I am thrilled to be adding Tammy Klingner as a Deer Designer.... please make her welcome

 

Here is a little about Tammy :)

I live in the beautiful Clare in South Australia.  I've been scrapping since 2002.  For 8 years, and until 12 months ago, I had my own scrapbooking business, Go Scrap Yourself in Clare.  I worked full time running the business and teaching classes.  It was such a passion for me. My customers were so special to me, and of course having the opportunity to play with new product was pretty awesome.  I am also a single mum to 2 children (aged 11 and 13) who I absolutely adore.  As they are getting older, and our needs are changing I decided to sell the business.  I now work 3 days a week in a manufacturing jewellers in Clare.  Unfortunately my scrapbook shop has recently closed, leaving quite a void in the community here.
I have always been a traditional scrapper and last year I was excited to discover Project Life. I love how it captures the everyday stories - the real life - I'm thrilled to say I completed a whole year! A double page spread for each week (plus a few extras for a holiday).  I am continuing that this year and am only 2 weeks behind at the moment.  I have recently been working on some mixed media projects (a personal journal), and I love incorporating this into my traditional layouts. 
Check out Tammy's blog here http://tammyklingner.blogspot.com.au/
and here is some of her AMAZING work :)

Make sure you come back to see what inspiration Tammy has for you all :)

Just Playing .....

Ages ago .... well only about 2 months! I sketched this bird out, inspired by the wonderful            Dina Wakley - and her Scribbly Birds Stamp set.

You see, I desperately wanted that stamp set and I didn't own it YET. So I decided to have a go at sketching it myself. I was pretty happy with my version. ( note: YES! I now own this awesome stamp set, ordered from the wonderful Deer & Fawn Designs! )

Fast forward 2 or so months, and "MY" copy bird was still just a sketch in my Art Journal. Inspiration hit and I finished off my page!

Hope you like........

Just a quick pop in today!

I will be back a little later in the week with part 2 of my Basic Background Tutorial & also some Scrapbooking!

See you
