    I like plain and simple and sometimes I might add a little bit of flair! I want the pictures and the journaling to take center stage! that is stepping out of my confort zone! the journaling that is! and even after so many years of scrapbooking I still hate to tear paper!

    I'm relatively new scrapper and I'm trying to find if I have any style at all. Something between Clean and Simple and American style, I think.

  32. cvanholsteinApril 25, 2012 at 12:07 AM

    This minimalistic-style suits you very well Stacy, and is still very much your style.
    Love the layout, and your girl is getting to be a very pretty lady!
    I often use your work to inspire scrappers here in the Netherlands, so you're getting more and more popular over here :)
    Time to come and do some workshops??

    Hi Stacy, I love your clean and simple lines! and your posts on Club CK! very inspiring. I would have to say my style is definately Eclectic! depends on my mood, see I scrap traditionally, Digital and Hybrid, so usually it depends on the challenge at club CK to what style I use. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a fab MUST Have mag!
