Guest Designer for Luv U Lots Scrapbooks on Etsy

Hello Fellow Bloggers,
Hope you are all doing well. Today's blog will be a feature on the guest scrapbooker/designer that recently visited my Etsy shop.
Jessica Allen is an artist, education professional and mother of two very active children age 4 and 6. She and her husband currently reside in Santiago, Chile, but are US citizens.
     Ms Allen has been interested in Art since a very early age. As an elementary schooler she created a complete Nativity scene out of cardboard and won a local newspaper "Create a Hat" contest. In high school she participated in both juried and non-juried art shows where she won numerous awards. Her greatest accomplishment however, (aside from her marriage and children) is creating the illustrations for a childrens storybook that was ultimately published.
     Jessica feels that art is fundamental in the growth and development of children and strives to include all aspects of the field in both her job as a parent and educational professional.
     On her recent visit to the US she contacted me to see if perhaps she could visit my shop and catch up on the latest trends in US scrapbooking.
     This cute jungle themed mini scrapbook album was the result of that visit. You can see that she scraps with a "no limit" philosophy, just as she lives her life. This scrapbook is full of bright colors and bold images combined in creative and sometimes unorthodox combinations. Surprisingly, though, it all works well together.

     As I look at this album, I can not help but wonder how I can add some of the "joie de vivre" that Jessica scraps with to my scrapbook style. Is there a new element that you would like to add to your scrapping style? Would it make you feel uncomfortable to change your style? Do you think it would help your scrapping skills to expand into new techniques?
     The "Mash-Up"....  how could expanding your outlook on a subject improve your life style? How scary would it be to make that change?
     For more mind expanding and life expanding outlooks watch this TED talk from Sir Ken Robinson on creativity.
