DT Member - Frances - USA

Frances: Hello my name is Frances Sylvia and I am from Natchitoches, Louisiana. I am a lucky wife of 8 years, mother of 4, Junior High English teacher, and a totally addicted scrapbooker. I have been scrapbooking since high school, but became serious after my 1st child was born. Twenty-five scrapbooks later, it is not just a hobby, but a way for me to stay sane.
My greatest inspiration comes from my family and friends in the photos, but I am also inspired by sketches, challenges, patterned paper, and what I bought that week from the scrapbook store. I truly believe that I do not have a set style, yet there are some elements I can not leave off a layout these days, such as, hand stitching, distressing, inking, and layering…and more layering. Since my time is mostly devoted to being a wife and mother, I believe that scrapbooking should be FUN!! There is no greater pleasure for me than to enjoy my family, put the kids to bed, and relive the memories that we created once again.You can visit my blog at http://www.francessylvia.blogspot.com/
