May's Featured Artist: Lori Renn
Hello one and all,
We are proud to introduce Lori Renn and her amazing Graphic 45 On the Boardwalk banner! Lori uploaded these photos on our Facebook page. We instantly fell in love with her work and needed to share it with all of you. I contacted Lori to find out more about her, and this is what she had to say:
"My name is Lori Renn and I live with my husband and three boys in Eagle, Idaho. Creating pretty things with paper is my escape into the girlie world and saves me from drowning in the deep end of the testosterone pool! I have been scrapbooking since 1997 and I also love card making and creating home decor items. I currently design for Shimmerz Paints and my favorite scrapbook store, Scrappin' Girlfriends in Twin Falls, Idaho. I just recently discovered Graphic 45 papers and fell in love withe the classic, vintage look of them. My blog is www.lorirenn.blogspot.com Thanks! :)"
"Here is a banner that I created for the new Pearlz release from Shimmerz Paints. I used On The Boardwalk papers from Graphic 45 and Petaloo flowers painted with Sunny Side Up and Carrot Top Pearlz and Jeni B Blue Vibes. I used Carrot Top Pearlz on the chipboard letters."
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us Lori! Team Graphic 45 is grateful to you all for the inspiring art that you create and share with us. Keep up the good work!
Happy Papercrafting!
