Hello everyone!! It's my turn today:) My name is Tomoko Takahashi, just turned 27 in July. I am so lucky to be on Bo Bunny's design team with such wonderful people!!
So let me introduce myself a little before I show you my projects. I live in Osaka, Japan. I have been living in Osaka for about 14 years now. Before Osaka, I have lived in San Francisco for about 10 years. I was there from kindergarden to junior high school. So now you know why I can speak English:) Although it's really bad, since I don't usually speak in English these days. lol
Here is a photo of a beautiful palace near where I live.
I am blessed with a 3 year old daughter, and she sometimes acts just like me!! She's usually cute, but sometimes she can be so stubborn!!! (well, maybe because she's like me? lol) She is my reason for that I started scrapbook. And she will always be..... She is my little model and my inspiration:)
I just love to crop all my precious memories spent with her. And someday, I wish we can look back at the albums together.
I also love to spend with my sister, my old friends, and my scrapbook friends. Recently I take a lot of photos with my camera (I use Canon 50D. I LOVE it!). Of course these photos will go into my mini album collections too:)
Oh yes, and I cut my hair a few days ago:) It's short now:) I just couldn't help it. It's hot here in Japan!!
Now onto scrapbook!
I started scrapbook in March 2009. About 2.5 years ago. I have loved it ever since. I love to use gentle colored paints and mists on my pages to create soft and feminine style but I also love to use bold and vintage style every now and then. My inspiration comes from lovely photos of my little girl and beautiful products. I love to cut out paper and use lots and lots of flowers for my creations! My style has been ever changing and I've been adventurous through my scrapbook life. I really enjoy making each of my creations.
Here is my recent work using Bo Bunny's Barefoot & Bliss collection. I think this is one of my favorite collections from Bo Bunny!! (but wait a minute, I have a lot of favorites. And I am truly in love with the new collections too:D )
I love to make layouts, cards. But I especially love to make mini albums!!
Oh yes, and I changed the picture on the tricket:) (Well, to tell you the truth I accidentally put some glue over the original picture! So I cut out the same shape from 6" paper pad and covered it with glossy accents:) )
And this is my favorite page:) Just like an aquarium.
