Lisa Truesdell

I love to tell stories. I love to take photos.  I love to play with color.  Scrapbooking gives me away to bring these loves together.  I find inspiration in everyday events and objects - using the shapes and colors around me to record the little moments in my family's life that would otherwise be forgotten.   My pages are detailed & whimsical, with layers of patterns and color anchored by embellishments and sewing.
