Our Polly Picks this week come from the talented scrapper, Amanda, better known as Gracielou. She has a very distictive style that maintains clean lines but also has loads of wonderfully detailed embellishments. She definitely has a knack for making a template her own. If you’re interested in learning more about how to take a template and better adapt it to your style, spend some time in Gracielou’s gallery. Her use of brushes, labels and paint elevate the templates she utilizes to make the pages undeniably hers.
This what Amanda says about her style: “I love templates and I love clean lines. I also feel that my pages are just not complete without a little paint or brush work. I love working with bulky items like fabric flowers and staples etc…. that I never could make work in my paper scrapping days.”
Take a closer look at some of her beautiful layouts:
