Inspired by- Berta!!

I first noticed Berta's wonderful creations a few months ago and have not been dissapointed when she uploads something new to the gallery. I love her style and the fact that she scraps 8 1/2 by 11 pages! She has inspired me to want to scrap that size too! Since I have been so inspired by her work I thought I would inspire you too by posting some of her work on the blog.

Here's a little bit more about here and some of my favorite projects by her-

1. When did you start scrapbooking?

I've been scrapping since I was a teenager. I started this kind of scrapbooking in 2004 when my DIL introduced me to it. She worked at a LSS and invited me to a weekend 'scrapcamp'. Been hooked ever since.

2. What is the subject of most of your layouts?
Kids and grandkids inspire me the most. But I love to scrap almost anything from weather to the great outdoors.

3. What is your favorite manufacturer?
Right now my new fave is Echo Park. I was so sad to see Scenic Route go out of business. I still have a ton of their papers that I stocked up on when I first heard the news.

4. What are your favorite products to scrap with?
I go crazy with paper. I love to do fussy cutting so I like papers with big patterns. Flowers and butterflies are my favorite embellies.

5. What are three random facts about you?
*I'm a wife to 1, a mom to 5, and a grandma to 7.

*As of Sept. 30 I am 5 years breast cancer free...yay me!!!

*Scrapbooking is my favorite thing to do and cooking is my least favorite.
