Studio Peek: Virginia Tillery

Virginia is a mommy of four adorable kids and a really fun gal. Follow her on Twitter and you'll know what I'm talking about. Beware, there will be posts about Dr Who. Not only does she create sweet, whimsical, vintage-y layouts, but she also makes altered items. So we asked her to share a little bit about where she creates all her beautiful projects.

Tell us about your studio.

My "studio" is basically any room in the house I decide to work in! I don't really have a designated scrap space right now; we have four small children and for now, it just doesn't work the best for our family for me to have a whole room to myself. However, with that said, our dining room does double duty as my studio and our general "work on crafts together" room. :)

Are you a day scrapper or a night owl?

I'm TOTALLY a night owl scrapper. I will occasionally scrap during the day (during nap time!) but the creativity really gets flowing at night. 

What do you do with all your altered items?

I use them to decorate my home, give as gifts, and sell at craft shows. 

Do you have a go-to technique or sketch?

I'm a big distresser. I love to sand edges of papers, ink them, paint on them with mists, and fold down corners. 

Dream travel destination:

Ireland, to visit some dear friends there. Or England, to geek out on Harry Potter and Dr. Who stuff. ;)

Or Greece, to eat yummy food and to relax. 

Superhero power:

To freeze time, so I can fit in all the things I want to do each day! 

Favorite food:

Greek (see above with the travel destinations!)

Favorite color combo:

turquoise and pea green

Perfect weekend:

Sleeping in, lunch with friends, rainy weather, lots of candles, a stack of good books from the library, catching a great live music show with the hubs, scrapping late into the night, and worship with friends at church.

Thanks Virginia for sharing your beautiful home and work with us!
