We are so thrilled to welcome the beautiful and creative artist
Lynn Shokoples
as our April Guest Designer!!!


Hi everyone! My name is Lynn Shokoples and I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.  I've also been blessed to join the Bo Bunny and Quick Quotes design teams this year. When I'm not scrapbooking I'm a wife, and a mom to two wonderful young adults, Nicole who's 25 and Ryan who is 20 and my new son-in-law Christopher. I'm so thrilled and honored to be a Guest Designer this month with such a group of talented artists here at ScrapThat. I love to blog and love to meet fellow scrappers, so please feel free to stop by anytime. 


Now, without further ado,
 introducing our fabulous April Kit, "Within Nature"

Featuring the GCD/Donna Salazar collection, "Natural Beauty." Opening the box to this kit feels like opening your closet and finding your most favorite, comfortable clothes packed with a little bling! The colors are rich and vintage and range from elegant pale neutrals to muted pinks, to deep denim blues and sages. These are paired with textured blooms from Prima, Petaloo and more!

Here are a few of my projects that I created for ScrapThat
For this project I used the main kit and the beautiful sketch from Amarilys. I flipped the sketch so I could scrap this photo of my daughter Nicole.
My next project I used the main kit along with the embellishment add on kit. 
For my last project I used both the main kit and the embellishment add on kit.
