ChantalK!!!!

Do you know her? Have you seen her pages? Having just registered here at The Pad last month, she’s relatively new around these parts…. but boy oh boy did she jump right in the gallery. LOL! She’s rocking the TLP pages and I, personally, couldn’t help but notice how AWESOME they are! Thanks ChantalK for helping to fill the gallery with such inspiring, and totally awesome, layouts!!! We hope to get to know you even better!

Go ahead… visit her gallery when you have a minute. Here are some of my faves that ChantalK has created…

Happy Scrapping everyone! You’re rocking the pages… and we’re taking notice!

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
