La Tonya Boike

Objective:
I want to become more involved in the scrapbooking, the paper arts industry and altered items. I am currently submitting my works for publication and design team consideration, in order to share my ideas, styles and techniques. I specialize in altered projects, creative layouts and hand made albums. I am also available for freelance work.

Styles & Techniques:
I would describe my style as Eclectic. I am versatile and love to experiment. If it can be altered and added to a page, I will use it. At the same time, I also love creating clean, simple pages with focus on the photo and one or two key embellishments. I design from my own imagination, but also love following specific requirements in regards to technique and products. Most of my scrapbooking ideas come from everyday life with my three boys, ages 15, 14 and 7.
