Get creative and have fun!!!!

I introduce you to our guest designer this month

Amanda Jones

I have been an admirer of Amandas work for a couple of years,

I love her eclectic style.....

and nowI am proud to be a designer for her challenge site

The Studio Challenges

I’m Amanda Jones

and I’m excited to be joining you as guest designer for May!

I’ve been playing with paper and glue since I was a little girl,

and have been scrapping in the format we currently know for more years than I’d care to mention out loud ;)

I have an eclectic style, one day creating a very minimal, graphic layout and the next a textured page with layer upon layer of pretty papers and embellishments.

It all depends on my mood and the product/photos that are inspiring me at that moment.

I like to keep myself busy and surrounded by creative inspiration.

I am the proud owner of the Scrap Rat kit club

and I run The Studio Challenges site

If you’d like to see more of my work

I am teaching a class this month called ‘Embellished White Space’ for

Miss Art’s Papercrafting School

and I am honoured to design for several of my favourite scrapbooking companies,

including Teresa Collins Designs ,

Photocentric , Precocious Paper , and Scrap With V

My work has also been published in several magazines worldwide.

I'd love you to visit me at my

blog
