Jamie Waters...

I have been a huge fan of Jamie Waters for years now. Her ability to mix patterned paper and embellishments in the most unconventional of ways has been inspiration to not only me, but tons of people in this industry. Her ability to capture her children's personalities on print makes me want to photograph my own kids differently--and I love that too. Here is a sample of a little interview from her, the WIP guest designer for August...How long have you been scrapping?
six years
