some of my first scrapbook pages

My buddy Sande posted some of her first scrapbook pages over on her blog the other day.  I loved seeing them!  She is so talented and I love everything she creates.  I am so proud to be on same design team with her.  I love you Sande!!

I thought I would post a few of my first pages.  Just to remind you...these are my FIRST pages ever! hehehe  It has been almost 5 years since I started scrapping.  It's amazing how styles and products change over the years.  These pages are from Album 1.  I'm on Album 14 now and there are approximatley 50 - 55 layouts in each album.  That's a lot of pages.  Wow, I need to slow down or I'll need a room just for her books.  Well here they are, enjoy :)

About Me

  • My name is Wendy Bretz and I currently live in a small town located in Western New York along Lake Erie. I am a full-time working mother to an adorable, energetic little girl named Hannah. I started scrapbooking about 4 years ago when Hannah was born. She was a true gift from God and she has changed my life in so many ways that I can't even begin to describe. My style of scrapbooking is very clean, simple and graphic. I have been published in Creative Keepsakes, Scrapbook Etc, Simple Scrapbooks and Scrapbook Trends Magazines. I am honored to say that I have just been asked to join the design team at 2 Peas In a Bucket. This has been a dream and I am so excited to join the Garden. Previously, I was the design team coordinator at Scrapologie and I also belonged to the design team at Creative Express. I also do freelance work for Making Memories and Me & My Big Ideas. I am also very proud to say that I am a 2007 Hall of Fame Winner. Last year being my first time entering and winning honorable mention, I am excited and honored to have won this year. Since I began scrapbooking I have met some incredible people who have guided, encouraged and taught me a lot throughout the past three years. I look forward everyday to talking with friends I have met and creating new designs for layouts my daughter can one day admire.
