Connie S. Petertonjes

Objective:
To design scrapbook layouts, cards and other projects and write articles for a scrapbook supply manufacturer or industry publication, either on a permanent or freelance basis. I am also interested in writing technique articles. I have experience writing project instructions and actually enjoy the process.

Styles & Techniques:
I have an eclectic style. I love using found items on my pages and also enjoy trying new techniques and products. I like to layer and I love most patterned papers. I am also growing fond of using stamping techniques in my paper craft projects.

In addition to layouts, I often create other paper crafts, including cards, altered photo frames, home decor and gift items. I have recently been commissioned to write several technique articles for a paper crafting publication.
