The spotlight is on for Teresa Manchas!
This is a pic of my daughter (right) and myself.
I started scrap booking about four years ago, with the encouragement of my daughter, who bugged me a couple years to get started! But back then, I worked 12 hr. days, and knew I would not be able to spend time scrap booking, so waited till I quit work, and have been scrapping ever since! I LOVE the vintage style, it’s my first love! I bought chalk and inked my paper edges since day one, and also tore a lot of my papers too! I have advanced to a lot heavier distressing method for an even more vintage feel! I am always willing to try new ideas, but always go back to the vintage style! I love the fact that you can tell a story with creative journaling and pictures! Scrap booking and gardening are my two passions aside from family!
Woohoo Teresa!! You know I love, love, love your work!! Congrats on being a featured artist! You deserve it, my friend! :)

I love the look of your pages, simply beautiful. My designer (Lici de Souza) does a similar thing (www.ephemerascrapbookingart.blogspot.com).
