Wow we made it through April! I will be announcing the winner of the BIG MME contest by Monday. Just trying to get all the entries in the pot.

Ok so I wanted to introduce you to another of our DT members.




Teresa Matz

Hi from the Southern Oregon Countryside. I am a wife of 11 years and a stay at home/homeschooling mom of 5 ages 10,9,7,6,6 (yep, twins). I started scrapping about 10 years ago, but just found the world of online scrappers about 2 years ago, thanks to my Best Friend and scrap buddy. When I scrap I love to get messy, I am not finished with a layout unless I have painted, inked or stickled something! I thrive on challenges, and can't get enough of them. I love to be pushed, stretched and really grow from a challenge. We just moved onto a farm, so lately my inspiration has come from my kids interacting with 4 legged creatures, and the amazing nature. I also garden, blog and read avidly. If I have any free time left over {insert laugh here}..... I love to quilt and make Jewelry. I am addicted to Pepsi and chocolate, and they are a must for scrapping, right alongside my stickles and edge distresser! In the last 2 years my art has grown and changed in amazing ways, and I have all the wonderful ladies that share their art online to thank for that.... Thanks for Sharing!

Questions:
How long have you been scrapping? I have been scrapping for about 10 years, but just got into the online world of scrappers about 2yrs ago

Are your married, have kids, pets? I have been married for 11years, we have 5 kids that I homeschool. About a year ago we moved to the country and went from no pets to a mini farm. We have 3 dogs, 4 cats, a turtle, rabbits, chickens and turkeys.

What would you say your scrapping style is? Um, that's a hard one! My style has been evolving over the last 2 yrs, I couldn't put a "name" on it. I love bright colors, texture, and bling. I enjoy scrapping the most when I get to paint or distress something. I also love making my embellies, out of pattern paper, fabric and found objects.

Do you have a designer that inspires you? Oh there are so many great ladies! I often look to Patter Cross, Jenni Bowlin and Ali Edwards for inspiration. I love just blog hoping, not to the big name designers, but everday scrappers blogs to find inspiration.

Give us some randomness about you…… I have NEVER scrapped the color purple. But I have seen some new products that are coming out that might change this!
