Scrapping Her Boys

This months "Scrapping her boys" Spotlight and the winner of the July Challenge is Brigitte van der Linden...

Hi, my name is Brigitte van der Linden and I am a SAHM living in Rhoon, a small town in the neighbourhood of Rotterdam in the Netherlands with my husband Willem and our 2 boys, Koen (6) and Bart (3).
I have been scrapbooking since 2004, when I discovered an article about it in a magazine in the local bookstore. It took my attention and I searched on the internet for more and found the site of a Dutch Scrapbookstore Pien’s Atelier. Now a days, I am a member of their design team.
I enjoy scrapbooking as my creative outlet and a way to work with my hands. I have always been interested in drawing, painting, sewing, beading and photography and scrapbooking brings it all together. I love to try different techniques and want to learn so much more about it.
So thank you Susan for having me as guest ct of Scrap the boys. I love this site and it gives me so much inspiration. I will look forward to the next challenge.
