Tone-Lil

About Tone-Lill:
Hello everyone my name is Tone-Lill Angelskar, a young at heart Norwegian who loves  to create  with paper, glue and scissors and  make the most out of life. I first tried out scrapbooking about 3 years ago when visiting my best friend in Norway. Before that it was only card I made and now it is more or less the opposite. I currently live in England and have been here almost 7 years. I have a son who is 18 and a 11 year old daughter (going on 20) and it is mainly their faces you will find  on my  layouts. To me scrapbooking is a fun and a memorable way to record their lives into memories.

I don't think I have any certain scrapbooking style, but I do enjoy trying out new things and ideas.  I love my gesso, masks and misting sprays , making tags and using  different things not made for scrapbooking. I love colorful project and working with sketches as inspiration.  
Tone does AMAZING work!  Visit her blog to check out more of her fantastic work!
