Welcome Sharon!

Sharon will be sharing some of her awesome work with us as a guest designer over the next couple of months. Here's a little about her and the first challenge she did for us!
Name: Sharon Nosal

Location: Greensboro, NC

Family: I have been married to my hubby Rich for 8 yrs. We have 2 girls, Abigail 7, Allison 4 a dog named Maggie and we just added a bird named Lola to our family!

How I got started scrapping: A group of ladies from the church I went to before we moved invited me to a crop at a local store. I went with a few pictures and ended up buying a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff that day. I've been hooked since!

Why I love scrapping: It is just another creative outlet for me! I love to do anything art and craft related. The best part is that while I'm getting my craft fix I am also preserving my families memories!

Where I get my inspiration: All over the place.

Three non-scrappy things about me:
I have a MBA in Visual Communications (Graphic Desigh and Photography) as well as my K-12 teaching certification in Art.

My DH and I have known each other since we were in 5th grade (21 years) and have dated/been married to him for 12 of them.

I am a reality tv addict.



And now here's the challenge!
Scrap an icon from the place you live...in Texas it could be the Texas flag, bluebonnets, mockingbirds, Texas stars, longhorns, etc.

Happy Challenge and a Guest!

We've invited a few guest designers to join us over the summer. It's always nice to stir up the mix a bit now and then!!

Today we're going to feature a LO by Ashley Smith. Here's a little about Ashley...

Location: Florida

Family: I have been married to Chris for 14 years and we have two children. (Four year old twins, Andrew and Megan)

How I got started scrapping: After my children were born I wanted to start documenting all the little things that babies do and I've been hooked ever since.

Why I love scrapping: It gives me the chance to document all the things I want to remember and I have discovered I am more creative than I thought I was. That was the most surprising thing.

Where I get my inspiration: My family

Three non-scrappy things about me:
1. I used to be an elementary teacher.
2. I love being a stay at home Mom.
3. When I am not scrapbooking, I enjoy reading and watching movies.

The challenge I gave Ashley was to use the word HAPPY on a LO. She came up with this gorgeous page that I am thrilled to be sharing with you. Thank you Ashley!



Keep your eyes open for more pages from this talented lady throughout the summer!

We also have a Happy LO from Erica today! I love how they're both so different - that's the joy of a challenge!
