May Guest Designer:

Liz Chidester
Hello! My name is Liz Chidester and I have been scrapbooking for about 14 years now (since my first child was born). I live in Northern Virginia and I am a wife and mother to 4 beautiful children. I am a cake decorator by trade but I love all things crafty. My true passion is for making layouts but I enjoy making sketches, cards and altered items too.
I am so excited to be this month's guest designer for Paper Secrets!


and here is Liz's take on her sketch:

Paper Secrets Participant Spotlight


The Paper Secrets team would like to thank everyone
that participated in our first challenge for the month of May!
We had lots of great entries such as the one we're
spotlighting here.
I'd like to introduce you to  Vic Klabukova-(Fleer) who lives in Belarus
 & show you her wonderful layout based on the sketch we provided. 
I really like how she distressed & used all the Graphic 45 papers from their Steampunk collection. 
And all the gears & steampunk inspired embellies are great! 
 Be sure to visit her blog Mein Lauberland to see more of her awesome work.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by for a visit and hopefully not the last time. My name is Vic and this blog poyavyaschen basically my little creativity, or rather my attempts to do, but I'm happy to talk about poetry and painting, and my favorite literature, especially if, for example, the creativity of Chuck Palahniuk ...
All good mood and smiles!

I've Been Spotlighted!
