Discovering your Scrapbooking Style: Shabby Chic

Shabby Chic is all over the place in decorating and has become huge in scrapbooking.  Anna Griffin, Pink Paislee, and Melissa Frances all produce a lot of stuff that fits in the Shabby Chic style.  This is probably the easiest style to predict as far as fitting the name goes.  One of our former designers, Sandi, is a master in this style.  If you want to explore Shabby Chic more, I highly recommend checking out her stuff!
