We could not be more thrilled to welcome the sweet and talented Lexi Bridges to the Garden Girl team! We think you're going to love seeing the many out-of-the-box ways she works with papercrafting goodies, as well as the way she tells her family's stories as a mama of boys.
Her first page for the Garden can be seen here. She was able to jump on board just in time to play along with our back-to-school theme. Here is a peek at more of her gorgeous work found in her 2peas gallery:
And a little Q + A with Lexi to help us get to know her better:
my name : Lexi Bridges
scrapbook size : 12x12, 8.5 x11 and the occasional card. I am an equal opportunity scrapper ;)
camera : Canon rebel xti
music : alternative, christian, pop, rock
work space : messy. HA! A room in the basement with concrete floors and a small window. Hopefully this is changing soon.
style : I never know how to answer this. Sew-y? Mist-y? Die cut-y? Embellishment-y? Are those even real words?
1 or 2 pages : 1. I think I have made two, 2 pagers ever.
color preference : anything but purple
favorite product type : embellishments! Can't scrap without them.
childhood ambition : paleontologist
fondest memory : my boyfriend in high school standing by my locker and asking me to homecoming while holding my pinkie finger. He's now my husband of almost 13 years :)
soundtrack : I love theatre so a favorite soundtrack would be West Side Story. If we are talking about the soundtrack of MY life, it would be the sound of little boys making noise with legos and the dishwasher running in the background ;)
retreat : mountains or beach or big city. I'm not picky.
wildest dream : to live in NYC. While we are at it, since it is my wildest dream after all, to star in a broadway show.
proudest moment : holding my boys for the first time
biggest challenge : staying organized. I'm messy by nature.
alarm clock : hate it.
perfect day : sleep in. brunch. junking. home to arrange amazing junk purchases and scrap the night away.
first job : dental hygienist after I graduated college. Teeth cleaning, anyone?
