introducing Tania Willis…our january guest artist
January 31, 2010 by admin
Hello Pink Paislee fans! I’m super excited to be the Guest Designer this month on the blog! My name is Tania Willis, I’m 32 years old and I’ve been addicted to doing something—anything—creative for most of my life. I currently live in Columbus, Ohio with my husband of 14 years, Doug, and my two spunky princesses, Ashlyn Rose (8) and Emma Grace (5). Although the youngest would much rather be known as Spidergirl, and not so much a princess, don’tcha know. She’s obsessed.
I’ve been scrapbooking for the past 15 years, and professionally for the past 8. I love to make things beautifully handmade—making something from nothing—and I think my style is reflective of that, without looking crafty or homespun. I’d describe my style as fresh and comfortable, polished and not forced, and technique driven with a strong focus on layering products. And you will almost always, find hand-stitched details on my projects.
A huge thank you to Pink Paislee for allowing me to receive the awesome Cupid Collection to create with and be featured here on the blog! I loved every minute of it!
tania’s creations for pink paislee:
I love how Tania stamped the xoxo in the background and created this amazing heart out of those paper punched circles! What an amazing way to use those punches.
Tania also used the canvas patch as a guide for some extra hand stitching. A great way to add detail!
As the journaling points out…..we love our kids even when they are grumpy 
Lovin the paper flowers she crumpled and created for this layout!
Love the collage border along the bottom here….so dimensiona!
A huge thank you to Tania for creating such fun layouts using our Cupid collection! With Valentine’s Day just 14 days away these projects should inspire you to start creating those love themed layouts or cards!
To learn more about Tania (and to see more gorgeous creations from her) we invite you to visit her blog HERE.
Beautiful! I really love the typewriter style journaling -would love to know how you did that.
Beautiful work, Tania! You’ve showcased the Pink Paislee products so well - and those pretty pics of your girls too.
Love all the dimension and hand-stitching you’ve done on your pages - and your journaling (stamps or computer font?) adds a perfect touch to your pages.
Congrats on being a guest artist this month!

Beautiful projects, Tania! Love the layering and the handstitching…the heart made from circles rocks!
awwww….thank you everyone, so very much for your kind comments! *smiling big*
the font used was an alphabet set from Hero Arts, so every letter was individually handstamped. the ink was Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink (Ranger).
everything else is Pink Paislee!!! thank you so much for the feature Rebecca!
CORRECTION: i just looked for the name of the font and the stamps are labeled:
Studio G
by Hampton Art
Alphabet Stamp Set Series 1.
hope that helps!
BEAUTIFUL!
Everything is Adorable!!! Thanks for sharing and inspiring!!
