Friday's Featured Artist - Kelli Thibeau

Good morning!! Another new addition to Lasting Memories is "Friday's Featured Artist"!! This week we're featuring a wonderful friend of mine for many years now, Kelli Thibeau. 

Kelli

Ontario, Canada

I am an avid Scrapbooker who dabbles in cards and I ADORE Close To My Heart Products! I run a small business with my friend Karen that consists of selling CTMH, running a scrapbooking club and hosting 3 day retreats 3 times per year. My family and I love to Camp (the comfy way in a big travel trailer), Cottage and 4-wheel. This is what my scrapbooking centers around...

Kelli has been scrapbooking for 8-10 years and when I asked what prompted her to start scrapbooking, she said "I love art and photo's. My family friend did these great books and once I saw them, I was hooked!" Here's Kelli's 1st page ever and when asked if she had a favorite layout, she said "Its too hard to choose a favorite but this is one I am very proud of "My First Scrapbook Layout" and "Sick Kid's Layout #1". Kelli's most favorite embellishment (and I can speak for her here!) is "Without a doubt .. BLING!" Kelli's scrapbook goals for 2012: "I generally try to do at least 50 layouts per year...traditional and then add in some digital as well and of course cards". Kelli also has some great tutorials on her site and if you're looking for some idea's for chipboard, check out her Chipboard Tutorial!! Very informative! Last, but certainly not least, here's a couple of Kelli's layouts .. be sure to pop on over to visit her and say hi!! Have a look through her blog and I'm sure you'll be inspired by her layouts, cards and projects!!

You still have time to join our current challenge which ends tmw at 9pm EST! Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!!
