Craft Warehouse Design Team Member Elizabeth Wiederspohn

Welcome back Elizabeth Wiederspohn to the blog! Whenever Elizabeth is here she inspires. I have had the pleasure of scrapbooking and spending time watching Elizabeth create and she amazes me. She is always making something for her family and it is always with such a beautiful love. She is a teacher which always shines out when she is here because she helps us all understand her process simply!  

 My name is Elizabeth Wiederspohn from Sunnyside, WA.  I am a Christ follower, wife, mother, friend, teacher of over 350 students a year(who will all graduate high school), and scrapbooker.  I have a wonderful husband and two great kids.  I love spending time with them.  I love my job and spend 180 days a year teaching extremely talented students how to take great photos, use typography, and use graphic design to create the best yearbook ever.  Besides Yearbook I teach Photography and Senior Capstone.  What's better than that!  In my spare time I like to create things for my home and scrapbook.

I scrapbooked my first page in 1997 in the basement of a friends house.  We were stamping cards and I decided to give scrapbooking a try.  I often have random thoughts like this.  It is OK.  It makes me more creative.  The page had one photo on it and I used the same flower stamp over and over.  Let’s just say I have improved a little.

I would describe my style as clean, deliberate, and simple. I spend a lot of time thinking and collecting ideas for my next page. I also love to group items and use contrasting colors. My photos are the focus and I love clean lines and a good collection of embellishments.

Currently my favorite paper lines are from October Afternoon, My Minds Eye, Pink Paislee, and Amy Tangerine.  I love the beautiful bold colors of these lines and the high quality of the paper.

If there is one thing I have learned over the past years it is that not every layout or project has to be perfect and there is no such thing as a mistake.  Mistakes are just chances to be more creative.
