melita! she is a great person and i am thrilled she is the guest dt for this week!


Hi everyone! Melita here! I am a SAHM with two wonderful kids and a very supportive husband of 11 years. I have been scrapping for almost 4 years now and grow to love this wonderful hobby more and more each day. I love all the different elements in scrapping; the paper, the embellishments, and tools. It amazes me how much talent everyone has and I am so blessed to have discovered something that brings me so much joy! I am also so thankful for the opportunities scrapping has provided me. I have made wonderful new friends, gotten to travel a little, and met more than a few "kindred" spirits along the way. I am so excited to be one of the guest designers for Let's Scrap this month!

our guest dt this week is karen!

My name is Karen Brooks, I’m 36, a wife, mom, pet parent, college gal, papercrafter and all around goofball who typically goes by the username of KarenB or craf_t_scrapper on message boards.

My first scrapbooking adventure was in 1989/1990 in the form of my senior book and when I look back now I wonder what the heck was I thinking. In 1992 with the birth of my daughter I tried to fancy up the photo albums w/chat bubbles and stickers and construction paper – again, what was I thinking. From 1992 to 2002 I dabbled around in different types of papercrafting but not serious scrapbooking. In 2002 a dear friend of mine gave me a bridal shower gift basket FULL of pretty papers, ribbons, flowers and what knot and I was curious what it all was. She showed me her albums and that was all it took – there has been no looking back.

I do not scrap in chronological order – if I did I would probably shock everyone. You can find me in my scrappy hole going through pictures from when my parents were kids all the way to current pictures of my kids and when one jumps out I scrap it. My passion in papercrafting though is card making. I love the thought of creating a small work of art that will hopefully brighten someone’s day when they receive it.

I am so honored that Renee asked me to guest DT for the month of November here at Let’s Scrap and enjoyed the sketch she provided me to work from tremendously!!! Thanks a lot for taking the time to read a little about me!!!! Happy scrappin’ all!!!

another new design team member

please help me welcome celina! she has been with us for awhile and she always participates! since we added tish i wanted to make things even! so we are so happy to have celina and we are excited to have her!

Hello everyone, my name is Celina and I love to Scrap!! I live in Florida and have 3 teenage boys. Yes they are all at the age that they are eating me out of house and home. They are great kids. One is in college, one is in high school and the youngest is in middle school. I have a wonderful Hubby that loves me enough to help me feed my obsession with scrapbooking and card making.

I began scrapbooking about 12 years ago. I really just wanted to put the photos of my babies in books. Then it evolved from there. I already loved to take pictures. That is my second passion. I take my camera everywhere with me. Sometimes my kids are embarassed by that. But they enjoy looking at the photos later. I also love the fact that there is a camera on my cell phone. I use it often when I don't have time to get my digital camera out.

My favorite embellishments are brads and eyelets. I use them on almost everything. I also love my Cricut. I have had it for almost 2 years and it was well worth it. I could not live with out it.

Scrapbooking has really become a way for me to express myself and a way for me to relax. Often my hubby will ask me if I need some time to scrap when he sees me overwhelmed. He knows that I really enjoy it. The best part about it is seeing my kids look through the books and remember all the things they did as a kid. That makes it all worth the effort!!

please go visit her blog and give her some love!

calling all cardmakers

we need 2 guest designers for december.
to apply send 2 cards with a short bio to poconomommy406@hotmail.com

so show us what you got and cant wait to see some of your work!

time for a design team reveal! (with a prize)

so we have had some exciting news, our guest dt this week tish aka artgirl1 has become a permanent dt member!

Hi! My name is Tish and I live in the “southern part of heaven” – home of the Tar Heels! I have two wonderful teenage daughters, ages 16 and 18; 1 dog and 3 cats. My older daughter is a freshman in college, and my younger daughter is a senior in High School.

I started scrapbooking about 12 years ago. I was invited to a crop and brought only photos and scissors, but went home with several completed pages! I knew I was hooked. I was in graduate school at the time and found scrapping to be a wonderful way to relax and let my creativity take over after all the math and accounting classes.

I have always loved photography – I still remember that first little Kodak camera when I was 8 years old. I loved taking photos. Now I am trying to learn how to use a new Nikon digital SLR!

I LOVE (I guess you could call it an “addiction”) papers. They can be solid, printed, smooth or textured. I can remember having this same feeling about fabrics. I was about 10 years old when my mom taught me how to sew. I fell in love with fabrics, laces, ribbons, and buttons.

I would describe my style as Evolutionary – constantly evolving. I enjoy trying new techniques and using new embellishments. I am also learning to incorporate a number of other crafts into my scrapbooks: rubber stamps, cross-stitch, crochet, and machine sewing.

I receive so much satisfaction when I make something and give it as a gift – and the recipient (usually my mother or daughters) displays it proudly!

so please stop over to her blog and show her some love!

I am a stay at home wife and I have 3 stepchildren . I have been crafting forever I love all crafts from the needle arts to the paper crafts but my favorite is card making followed by scrapbooking. I have a craftroom that is my little getaway where I work on projects and it is also a great place to store my crafting stash (that is always growing). I love going to crops especially at Archivers although I get little accomplished due to the fact I do more talking and shopping then cropping.

I am also a Card Angel for the Chemoangel organization it is a organization that pairs volunteers with cancer victims going through treatment. I send a weekly card or letter to my buddy and sometimes a small gift it is a very rewarding activity. I am currently with my second buddy and happy to report my first buddy has successfully gone through treatment and is cancer free..

I could spend all day on the computer going to my favorite sites (Tallyscrapper,Splitcoast stampers) and also my favorite blogs too many to mention. I have recently started my own blog aliciadelanodesignsblogspot and I have also set up shops on ebay and etsy all under aliciadelanodesigns. I love doing favors for bridal and baby showers everything from the invite to decor. I would love to be a party planner for small events. I enjoy crafting and try to get as many friends and family that I can involved because it is always better with friends.

and here are a few pieces of her favorite things!
