Introducing our New Design Team Member - Jennifer Hottinger-Sloan!!

First off, we wanted to thank everyone who submitted an application for our Design Team. The response was amazing as were the submissions of layouts. This made it very hard for us to make a decision - we would have loved to take on all of them, but we could only choose one. So, we are very excited to announce that Jennifer Hottinger-Sloan has accepted the position to join our Design Team family. Check out her bio and some examples of her fabulous work......

I am a self confessed workaholic. So you may ask when do I have time to be artistic? Well anytime I am not working cause' I am also a scrapaholic and need to be creative. One balances out the other and vice versa, if you know what I mean. I am a dual brain thinker, very analytical and logical by day, but creative and intuitive by night! I have a wonderful DH that supports my habit. I have no children of my own but have a plethora of kids in my life that my friends generously donate to my photography. I have been scrapbooking for almost 8 years and have loved it from day one. I love paper, flowers and bright colours and make layouts from simple to complex and in all sizes.

Introducing our new Guest Designer - Gillian Murgic!!

We are thrilled to have Gillian join our design team as being a guest designer for October, November & December!! Check out her bio and some of her layouts below....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi! I'm Gillian and I'm very excited to be a guest design team member for the Nook. I love to scrapbook and the main subject of my layouts is usually my 5 year old son who keeps my husband and I on our toes. My favourite layouts of other scrapbookers have white space, bright colours and a catchy title.....I have to say that my own style is still a work in progress : )

Patti was given the gorgeous Authentique Blissful line to work with this month.... check out the fantastic projects she created!!!

Patti wrote..... "So here's my "mini-album from toilet paper rolls" that I have been working on. It was such a fun, fun project and it would be a great one for kiddies to do as well! I used the Authentique Blissful line that Janice gave me to work with, and I must say that I just ADORE it. It's so versatile and work with almost any kind of photos. I got the idea for the album from the Authentique blog."

September Design Team Layouts - Jenn Cassista

Quote from Jenn - "without further adieu... I have been working with Jillibean Soup's Homemade 6 Bean Soup papers. I would hazard a guess that when you look at that line you would never think elegant and vintage, but that's what I did with the paper for this first layout (I can guarantee that elegant and vintage is certainly not what I thought of when I looked at the papers either!!!) it's amazing what you can do with a little distress ink and a distress tool."
Be sure to buy online or in the store soon before this fantastic, versatile line is gone!!
