Welcome our Guest Designer...

for sketch #49...Dorcas Yam!

Dorcas is a wonderfully talented scrapper with an amazing "stand out" style and a blog full of inspiration. Have a look a Dorcas' take on this month's sketch and find out a little more about why we love her and her work...

Hi, my name is Dorcas Yam, or better known as DorcasYHJ. Living in Singapore and married to a typical asian guy, but who have been there for me and silently supporting me in this hobby of mine. I am a SAHM to two beautiful monster daughters, Levion Kaycier Lim (aged 4 years) and Kerris Kaycier Lim (aged 15 months), who have always be my strength in life and muse for inspirations. I do not have a particular style when in comes to scrapping, but I have a weak spot for all the beautiful pattern papers and also rub ons.

Thank you Dorcas for Guest Designing this month at IB!!!
