Sketch #88

Our Guest - Stacy Cohen


My name is Stacy Cohen and I live in Los Angeles, California with my loving husband and our two wonderful little daughters. My girls are the inspiration for all my creative projects. I call them my little muses.

In addition to being a wife, mom and scrapbooker, I also work part-time as an insurance agent specializing in health and life insurance. I work with my mother and we always have fun together, so that makes work not seem like “work.”

I started scrapbooking in September of 2004 and I have been hooked ever since. Scrapbooking is my hobby, addiction and “therapy” (although my husband would probably say that buying all my scrapbooking supplies is my hobby, addiction and therapy . . . and he’s sort of right about that). I’m a very slow scrapper, often spending several nights on one layout. I love to fuss over all the little details and get everything “just right.” I always wonder what I did with all my free time before discovering this wonderful hobby!

I am currently on the design teams for Graphic 45, A Million Memories kit club and Shimmerz. You can visit my blog at: www.stacycohen.blogspot.com

Our Guest - Fon Mee Chung


Hello I am Fon Mee (aka Hannie).
I started scrapbooking in 2007 after discovering it online and getting to know it through a friend who is very passionate about scrapbooking. I then started subscribing to scrapbook kits and displaying my layouts on my blog: http://fonmee.blogspot.com.

I enjoy getting inspiration from other designers, and joining forums for challenges to get me motivated and inspired.

I don't think I have a specific style, I currently love distressing but I am sure that will change, who knows ;)

My starting point for scrapbooking was to preserve my boys' pictures and memories about them. Now, it is not just about preserving, it is about finding myself - my creative self. It is also a very good way in releasing stress and quieting down myself at the end of the day.

I want to thank Kristine for giving me this chance to be a guest designer for Creative Scrappers.

Happy Scrapping!
Hannie

Sketch #86

Our Guest - April Joy Lim



I'm April Joy Lim from the Philippines. I'm married to my high school sweetheart Meng for 12 years now and a working mom to my teenager, Austin and my cheerful toddler, David.

I started scrapbooking around 5 years back and have not regretted it since. I'm one of the members of Scrappin' Moms, a group of 7 moms who organizes scrapbooking events here in Manila. I'm also part of the design team of one of the local scrapbooking store, Lasting Impression. Scrapbooking is one of the ways I de-stress from the demands of my work both in the office and at home. I usually scrap 12x12 layouts but I make mini-albums and paper craft projects once in a while.I love using bright colors in my layouts since my usual subjects are my two kids. I love stripes and polka-dotted papers as well as papers with lots of images I could cut out.

I also scrap digitally once in a while especially trip and party photos. Since my husband is a photographer and I like taking photos too, there's always too many photos to scrap on paper.

Since I'm not much of a writer, scrapbooking is my way of documenting the events that happen in our family. It makes me happy when I see my husband and kids look at my layouts and reminisce the moments captured in them.

Thanks Kristine for this opportunity!

Regards,
April
