LaQuette Akins AKA QT
Here is a bit about QT:
My name is LaQuette “QT” Akins. I have been married
to my wonderful husband for 8 years and together we have 2 children. I am an engineer by day and a scrapbooker at
night. I have been indulging in all forms of art since I was a little girl. When
planning my wedding, the idea of designing my own wedding invites lead me into
my first scrapbook store ever. I was
amazed at all the products and papers that the store carried. That’s when I
decided to investigate this craft of preserving pictures of my family. My obsession with scrapbooking and cardmaking
didn’t truly form until 2006 with the birth of my daughter. I was a SAHM at
that time and wanted to preserve every sweet memory of my daughter life.
In 2009, with the birth of my son, my desire for a
creative outlet grew stronger and I was able to manage scrapbooking and making invites
on a more consistent basis. As I started following blogs, I ran across a blog
post for Swirlydoos Kits and I fell in love. So I joined the Swirlydoos forums
in November 2010 and by January 2011 I was subscribing faithfully to Swirlydoos.
The members at Swirlydoos always made me feel so welcome and at home. I feel
like I gained many friends and sisters while being a member and actively
participating in the challenges.
I feel that my style is more Shabby Chic but it is
forever growing and changing. I
love using different mediums on my projects while learning new techniques. Scrapbooking
has truly become a part of my everyday life. I love to be inspired and love to
inspire others as well with my work. Please visit my blog at any time: lsadesigns.blogspot.com
Please come back and visit every first Sunday of the month to see who our next featured member will be! We love our Swirlygirls!!
