Featured Scrapper 2/4 – Jackie Doremus
Happy February everyone! This week our Featured Scrapper – Jackie (tettletop20) is another amazing scrapper whose gallery is full of gorgeous projects both digital and hybrid. Let’s get to know her a little better:
I’m a 31 year old stay at home mom to two boys. They keep me busy and make me go crazy at the same time. I love being able to stay at home with them. I live in Michigan but often wonder why because it’s so cold here! I think the summers make up for it though because it is such a beautiful state!
I started paper scrapping in high school and did that until I started digital scrapbooking in 2006 after a friend introduced me to a very simple program to use. I’ve upgraded since then to PSE 7 and would not go back! I also enjoy making hybrid cards with my digital supplies.
What are your 3 favorite elements to use?
Buttons, ribbons, and greenery.
What is your favorite SSD kit and why?
A Wonderful World by Meghan Mullens and Kristin Cronin-Barrow because it’s so bright and full of color. It makes me happy.
Why do you scrap?
I scrap to remember the memories. I want to be able to look back in 20 years and be happy that I took the time to record these things.
How often do you find time to scrap?
I usually scrap every 2-3 days and only when the kids are in bed. When I find my mojo is lacking, I usually will make a card or two. I have quite a stash going!
Here are some of Jackie’s favorite layouts:
I enjoy blocking papers when I scrap, so this layout with the blocking and the journaling is one of my favorites.
I really enjoyed the journaling part of this layout – just the basic 5 W’s. I’m also a sucker for rainbow colored things, so once I took that photo of the spoons, I knew what I was going to do with it.
Maybe it’s because my husband is in this layout, but I just love how all the colors and everything goes together. It will always be one of my favorites.
