Introducing Lisa Wilkinson… Our June Guest

Hi Everyone!
I want to introduce you to Lisa Wilkinson, our awesome June Hip 2-b Square Guest Designer!!! Lisa lives in New Hampshire with her husband and 6 children. She is a talented photographer and cardmaker, and scrapbooker. I am thrilled to have her join us this month. Trust me, you are going to love everything that she creates!!!  Welcome Lisa!!!

Here are a few fun facts about Lisa…

1. When did you start scrapbooking?   I started scrapbooking about 15 years ago when I had traveled oversees to work with Teen Missions in Ukraine and needed a place to put my story. A good friend purchased my first set of supplies as a welcome home gift to me! It started this beautiful journey of memory keeper and I will always treasure that gift!
2. Where do you draw most of your inspiration from?  A photo, product or something else?  I am most inspired by pictures of what I love… it could be my family, something around my home, or where I live. They tell our stories and that inspires me. It is more than a hobby, but our life, in art…. oh and a good scrapbook kit {note: a HIP kit heehee} always inspires me.
3. Where do you scrap?  I have a corner in my home, just off the kitchen where I have my desk and supplies. It is a little spot just for me and my creativity. It is one of my happiest places in my home, second to the kitchen table, where we gather our family together to be and share and eat and school.

Here are a couple of layouts that Lisa created using the projects included in our April 2012 Hip Kit.  Her darling daughters are the stars of these two layouts.  I love all of the layering and detail that she adds to her layouts.  The curled up corners, distressed edges, machine stitching.  Each of these are just little things – but they add so much to her projects.  Great job Lisa!!!  I can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us this month.  🙂
