Announcing our first Guest Design Team!

We are thrilled to announce our Guest Design Team for September - December 2010!!

We were overwhelmed by the response we received and all the talented scrappers who applied.  We wish we could have each and every one of you on our team!   Alas, we could only pick eight this time around.... and what a tough choice it was for us!!

After we finally made it through all the applications, we picked eight amazing artists that we hope will inspire you as much as they inspire us.  So without further ado our Guest Design Team is......

Cindy is a 4th & 5th Grade teacher who is currently the stay-at-home Mom of handsome little Trevor.  Wife of Steve, Cindy loves to dream up new recipes and is a master at putting multiple photos on one layout.... her current record is 14!!
