Bree Tetz

My name is Bree and I am a scrapaholic. I have been dabbling in art one way or another since I was a child, but have become a die hard scrapbooker over the last couple of years. If I'm not spending time with my family, or taking photos of them, I am creating something at my scrapbook table. I am an avid "eco-crafter". I love to add recycled and vintage items into my art projects. Think Green! I am Mother, Wife and Scrapbook Designer. What more could a girl ask for?

Designer's Bree Album

She sewed red coral onto the cover (or at least to look like coral), hand sewed the acetate onto a paper and made it a shaker box.

Designer's Candy Album
