Judges' Notes:

"This girl is a STAR! The ‘sweet girl’ layout is nothing short of incredible! We love the inventive way Sabrina cut out flowers from pattern paper and dressed them up a bit to make her own embellishments. Even the dot on the letter “I” in her layout is dressed up! How inventive. Trendy, smart, this girl has IT! She scored extremely high in ‘Product Use’." 

My name is Sabrina and I'm from Othello, Washington. I am happily married to my husband Gary, and we have two little girls.  I enjoy sunny days at the park, hiking, playing at the beach and traveling to new places.  I also try to find time for running, quilting/sewing, and reading.

I started scrapbooking in high school.  For quite a few years I did a little here and there, but really got addicted about 8 months ago. I like to try out different styles, as needed by the pictures that I am scrapping.  I try to make sure that the focus of my pages is on the pictures. My favorite technique is cutting pieces out of a patterned paper, and making a new design by adding embellishments and other papers.  I also enjoy using fun color combinations to make pages really pop!

If I was stranded on a remote island I would not be able to live without: my cutterbee scissors, lots of patterned paper, Prima flowers, adhesives, cardstock, some felt, rub-ons, and chipboard!

Scrapbooking helps me to step back and enjoy the small things in my life more.  It is also a great creative outlet for me, and I really have a lot of fun creating!  (I have to admit that I also have a small addiction to buying supplies!  There are such beautiful products that are so much fun to use!)

Journaling is such an important part of scrapbooking for me.  I enjoy trying to find ways to tell the story behind the pictures on the page.  It is so easy to forget the little things in life!  Also, even though I don’t have perfect handwriting, I try to include it on a lot of my pages, because it might not be perfect, but it’s me!
