| Summer is finally here, lots of pictures to take and moments to capture. Scrapbooking in the back yard, at the cottage or while camping are great ways to spend those lazy summer days. Call for an appointment to shop or book a class, I'm off all summer, day or night!! The big news for this season is I am looking for a design team. There just aren’t enough hours in the day for me to create everything I would like. So I am looking for design team members to design projects, cards, and layouts throughout the year. The best part is the design team will get some new scrapbooking products for free. So if you have a little extra time, love scrapbooking, and would like be on the team, submit 3 or 4 of your best pages, cards or projects. As well as the layouts, please submit a short summary telling me a little about yourself, and why you think you should be on the design team. The due date for the design team call is August 31st, so plenty of time to submit all your great work. Always wanted to stop by my shop/studio and haven’t, well now is your chance.
