HOME GROWN GUEST DESIGNER #5 | RACHEL DUTKO

This months Home Grown Guest designer is a lady I have watched develop a sense of style that is one to be noticed.  I was so surprised when she announced not very long ago that she finally had a layout published in Scrapbooking Memories Magazine.  How it hadn't happened sooner?  I just don't know! Please join me in welcoming Rachel Dutko to Scrap the Girls this month to play along with our sketch.

"Hi! My name is Rachel Dutko and I live in Adelaide with my husband and our 2 young boys.

I first started scrapbooking about 10 years ago, but after a big break I rediscovered it with a life-changing passion about 3 years ago. I love the fact that scrapbooking allows me to express my creativity and document my precious memories at the same time. I'm lucky enough to have had a career in the television industry for the past 15 years, and I am in my craft space most nights for some 'me' time after the daily demands of work and family.

I am currently on the Design Teams for 'Scrap The Boys' and 'Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia' challenge blogs, as well as the Paper Flourish Kit Club.

I have been published in Jot Magazine and Scrapbooking Memories (including the cover).

I really like using mixed media, texture, and learning new techniques and just having fun. 

I'm thrilled and honoured to be this month's Home Grown Guest Designer, thanks Scrap The Girls for having me!"

Here is Rachel's layout.
