Discovery Drive
Lindsay Krauss
|
 |
Welcome to this month’s Discovery Drive. This month, we asked Trace to stop and chat with us, and to show us some of her work. She has a bright, eclectic style that features layering of papers and embellishments. And she can show you that you can find embellishments in places other than your
local scrap and crafting stores.

Design notes: The rub-on was a
straight line sentence, but I didn’t feel
that that would look right with my layout,
so I cut the rub-on to break up the title. I
wanted different textures so I ripped &
painted a piece of cardboard. I also inked
and painted various stars and arrows.

Journaling:
I loved the picture so much that I didn’t want it to lose impact by
adding journaling. This way the emphasis is
on the photo. It tells the story of how my
son finally found freedom by getting over
his fear of water, and actually sitting in
the boat in the deep end of the pool ALL BY
HIMSELF!!!!

Journaling:
Silas and Daddy, walking at the mosquito pond-Altona-August
29, 2007.
Design notes:
I loved this paper by Scenic Route...
made it very simple to create a fun-looking
page. I cut leaf shapes from the paper, and
glued it around the chipboard circle to
create a flower. I doodled some lines around
the edges of the leaves.

Journaling:
After watching Uncle Kenny's baseball game
in Stonewall, He took you around the bases.
Aug 9/07.
Design notes:
Where I wanted my title to be, I dry brushed
some paint and once it was dry, I applied
rub-ons over the paint. I also took the star
transparencies from my stamp set, and
painted on the back sides of them, and poked
dots to the front of one of them (a great
way to use up the packaging that comes with
acrylic stamps).

Design notes: I applied doodle rub-ons onto my cardstock, then added some color to them using my watercolor pencil crayons. I went over the color with my blender pen (you could also use a wet paintbrush) and this smeared the color to where I wanted it, giving it a bright look. |

About the designer
I’m Trace Geworsky and I hail from the sunflower capital of Canada-Altona, MB. I have a husband, Rob who supports my scrapbooking addiction, and a very cute yet mischievous 3 year old son, Si, who is the cause of this addiction. I run a daycare from my home that provides me with plenty of entertainment and great photo ops.
I started scrapbooking just over 3 years ago, shortly after the birth of my son, and of course those layouts featured plenty of stickers, die cuts and decorative edge scissors. I have now moved into a more eclectic style, where anything and everything goes, when it comes to my pages. I love experimenting with products and trying out new techniques. I tend to get a little CRAZY on my layouts...Just trying to match my personality... hee hee!!
Within this last year I have really discovered a passion for scrapbooking & photography, and plan on improving both...Can never learn enough right?!
I am currently a DT member of Rhubarb Roots (a really great scrapbooking store in my hometown) and for allscrapbookingideas.com (an online site that provides plenty of ideas & inspiration). I am VERY excited that I was chosen for October's discovery drive. It is my first time being published & I appreciate the opportunity!!! |
