Dianne Rigdon : Getting to Know Her!

Dianne Rigdon shares more about herself and also shares a great freebie below. Check it out and enjoy!

How long have you been scrapbooking?
"I started digi scrapping in 2004. Prior to that I was in web design and paper crafting. That was the genesis of the discovery of digital scrapping for me."

What is your creative style?
"My specialty is the shabby, messy, artsy style, with a little whimsy thrown in for good measure. I really create for myself – the things I like are what I put into my layouts, kits, projects, creations. I enjoy the process and am always surprised to see what happens in the finishing."

Enjoy this great card template freebie. The card is Shutterfly ready. All you need to do is add your own photo and journaling and then you can have the card printed perfectly at Shutterfly. Please remember that all freebies are for personal use only!
