"Hi, I'm Natsuko from Japan. I immediately fell in love with scrapbooking when I saw one of my friend's beautiful layout 7 years ago ! I have made so many layouts and albums ever since...and I never seem to get tired of it !! Most of my layouts include my loved ones, especially my daughter, who is now 10 years old. I love travelling, taking pictures, and communicating with people from all over the world. I don't have a particular style; I love both colorful and chic layouts and I'm not hesitant to try new techniques. I get a lot of inspiration here, and It's such an honor to be the guest this month !! Thank you !!

Thank you Natsuko for being our guest this month!

We are sure our followers will be inspired by your fabulous work.

Below is the fabulous layout Natsuko created inspired by our 

April Book Inspired Stash Challenge:

Natsuko:

"When I first saw the book cover, the clouds reminded me of my daughter. She used to lie down on the grass and watch the clouds pass by...(like forever!) and I found a perfect picture !! I wanted to make the layout bright and fun, like the illustration of this book. I used metal parts for embellishments because I can see similar shapes in the background. It was really fun making this layout, and I'm happy how it turned out !"
