Meet our May Guest Designer

We have the pleasure of having Ingrid Gooyer as our guest designer this month.   Here's a little bit about her:


My name is Ingrid Gooyer and I live in Zaandam, a place in the Netherlands. I'm married to a wonderful husband, Rob and together we have two beautiful daughters, Tessa and Yiscka. Started scrapbooking in 2006 and now I just can't imagine my life without it!



We have all been amazed by Ingrid's layouts.  She has such a distinctive style.  Here's a look at how Ingrid used our May kit:

SHE
Just love this photo of my youngest daughter, Yiscka. Both my girls (18 and 21) don't let me taken their photo's as often as they were younger. Bad hair day, no make up, pimples, etc....all kind of excuses! I guess I drive them crazy when I take my camera,.....again!  When they are in a good mood and want to please mom, I make sure to take lots of photo's for at least a dozen pages!

I have to admit that I was little scared to use that big birdcage but I think it turned out pretty well. Painted it with gesso to fit the page and papers.  Mixed some gesso with the shimmerz for the background.  Photo is again from my daughter. She turned 18 last month. Can't believe I'm having 2 grown girls already. I'm old!!!LOL!!

Hi all! Here is another page with this gorgeous kit.  Used my finger to paint the background with the shimmerz. How much fun was that!  Cut up the big white flower to make the little bouquet under the photo. Just folded the leaves and tucked in the lace.  Thought it looked like a nice little bridal touch with a wink to our belated honeymoon!  Also cut the lace because I loved the heart shapes.  Used a flower punch to make the flowers.

Photo is of me and my hubby on our vacation to Greece last year.  Now that our girls are older and have their own vacations, Rob and I really enjoy our trips together.  It's like the honeymoon we never had when we were married!  We just love Greece: the weather, the people, the scenery, the food, all perfect!
