What would Swirlydoos be without our wonderful subscribers?!? It's a pleasure getting to know these ladies on the forums and from the stories they tell through their layouts. Yes,we are an amazing community, but most of all, we're a family! We appreciate each and every member and they deserved to be spotlighted. With that being said, our featured member for January is.....

My name is Christy Butters.

I can be found on the web at www.creatingwiththegirls.blogspot.com 

I have been scrapping in some shape or form for most of my life (well over 40 years!). I come from a long line of scrapbookers even being lucky enough to have in my possession on my Grandmother created over 80 years ago.

In July of 2010 I joined Swirlydoos and never looked back. The kits were and are made perfectly for my style, a variety of complimentary pieces all pulled together and ready to be used.

I love mixed media layouts, getting messy makes my day and backgrounds are a specialty of mine.

Some days I will create nothing but them. I love combining paints, inks, mists and more with patterned papers to create unique bases for my projects.

When I am not scrapping I can be found working on a variety of other mixed media pieces. Canvases and art journal pages are two of my favorites but I dabble in tags &  Atcs as well as altered pieces.

 

A day creating is a day well spent!

 

 

Here are a some of my favorite projects of Christy's, sure to inspire you!!
