Sketch #97

Good Morning Creative Scrappers,

We have a fantabulous reveal for you today!
Sketch 97 by July Gaceta, Team N and our guest Jenn DiPaolo

Sketch #97

************************

A graphic designer at heart, Jenn DiPaolo is currently the marketing director for a national telecommunications retailer. While a good part of her day is spent balancing budgets and formulating marketing plans, her favorite part of the role is the time spend creating the company's print material.

The progression from designing at work to designing as a hobby was a natural one; she was hooked the moment she tried scrapbooking.

Her current favorite subject to scrap is her three year old daughter Sofia, though every now and again, you'll catch a glimpse of her husband Brad and their beagle Rocky.

When she's not scrapping she loves being silly with Sofia , shopping, reading, and cooking (but not cleaning!). Jenn's current favorite scrappy products include Maya Road Maya Mist, Martha Stewart butterfly punches and pretty much anything from American Crafts, October Afternoon and Sassafras!

Sketch #95

************************

Hi, my name is Shannon Morgan. I am a Northern girl living in the South......that takes some getting used to, but I'm not going to complain about being able to wear flip flops in March! I am a stay at home mom and I am very thankful to be. I have two crazy, yet lovable kiddos and two dogs....one of which who thinks she's a little person trapped in a dog body.....they all keep the house colorful, loud and busy. There's never a lull! I am glad though, I can't imagine life without them. I have a husband who is strangely supportive of my need to create.

Speaking of which, a little about the scrappiness.....I am a fill the page scrapper...I am white space challenged! I enjoy using lots of different stuff on my layouts, but I don't jump on the latest trend. I'll probably try it, but I tend to keep with the techniques that I dig. I scrap for sanity, I scrap for Patrick and Mackenzie in hopes that they'll see that I really did LOVE them and all the no's, go to your room's and because I said so's will melt away. I want them to remember all the fun things we did even if it's just looking at clouds or eating cookies. I think that's what life is all about really, isn't it?

Thanks for having me!
I love Creative Scrappers and all the inspiration and talent!!

Our Guest - Misty Willis

Hi there! I am Misty Willis…mommyof5kidz on most boards. I live in New Caney, TX with my husband of 15 years (16 in April!!), my 5 kids, and a very spoiled mastiff that thinks he is a kid. While I have several hobbies, my passion is scrapbooking.
I was first introduced to scrapbooking as an art form about 13 years ago at a Creative Memories class. I now have over 30 completed albums and each day I am thinking of my next layout! I want my children to look back on their childhood and their time with me with a smile on their faces and love in their hearts...so I take pictures of everything...even the seemingly unimportant things. With all my crazy kids, I get a lot of good photo ops!

My style has evolved over the years…and right now I am very addicted to flowers, bling and bright colors. I am also VERY much into circles, so you can imagine my delight when Kristine sent this sketch to me! (Thank you Kristine!!) I love to try now techniques and trends in the scrapping industry…some I like and keep, others not so much. Okay, so I am addicted to scrapping supplies in general, and it is NOT an addiction that I want to be breaking!
