Heather Robertson

I'm originally from Northern Ireland but now live in Alaska. I've been
scrapping for approx. 8 years. I like to change my styles and try and
stretch myself but my primary style is probably graphic - bold, with
eyecatching colors combos and a focus on the photo. I love to play with
shapes and unusal designs, I love stitching, misting and punching. I
also love to make cards, I'm trying to challenge myself into creating
more mini albums and I dabble in digi .My latest craze is for altered
canvases. I don't have a fav manufacturer but love to mix items form
many manufacturers on my pages. Outside of scrapping (is there such a
thing) I love to travel, cycle, kayak, hike, play racquetball, x-country
