Sarah de Guzman
BIO:
Hi. My name is Sarah, and I am so very honored to be featured as a Guest Designer for Let's Scrap! It's such a wonderful and encouraging group of scrappers! Here's a little bit more about myself: Scrapbooking has always been a part of my life since my high school days, but it has recently become an everyday activity (aka. addiction)! On top of being a hobby, it helps me relax and relieve my stress. I guess you could call it therapy. Besides, the best part about scrapping is there is no right or wrong way to do it, so I can never make a mistake at something I love! If I’m not scrapbooking, I’m probably shopping for scrap supplies or enjoying the fresh air at the beach. I don’t have any children, but I have one dog named Maui, a white Miniature Schnauzer.

Hello, my name is Evelien Verschelde, I am 26 years old and live in Belgium, a little country in Europe.
My passion is photography and as a result I discovered scrapbooking in 2003, since 2004 I started with classes of scrapbooking in my mom’s craftstore.
Encouraged at a young age by my mother I made a lot of cards and also painted a lot, and when my mom started her craftstore when I turned 16 I also realised that I could make my hobby my work!
Scrapbooking is now one of my most enjoyed hobbies.
My favorite scrap subject is my little dangle Julie, °2007, which you will see, however, on my layouts.
I also love to scrap with bright colour combinations and flowers.
You can find my creations, online gallery’s and resume on my blog: http://eveliendesigns.blogspot.com/
I am so excited and honored to be the guestdesigner of February!

Journaling says:

My favorite time of year is fall. Its a time for great food and to reflect back on all the things that you are thankful for and love in your life. On thanksgiving morning I turn on the T.V. and turn on the Macys Parade and start to cook. I love to watch the look on Alex's face as the floats go by, and how excited he gets over the giant turkey and pilgrims with the giant heads. I love that I can now share the holiday traditions that my mom did with us with my own children.

black & white photo challenge

for this month for team a i challenge the girls to use a black & white photo

this time our guest DT is:
Diana
Hello. I'm really excited to be a guest designer for the very first time! My name is Diana. Born in Cali, Colombia but raised in the United States since the age of 6. I got married at a young age to a wonderful man and I have three wonderful kids. Ages ranging from 5 to 16 years old. I am currently attending college double majoring in Photography and Interactive Media. On December 2007 I did my first scrapbooking layout. I started digital but on that following month, in January I decided to try out paper and ever since I have become addicted to it! I found a great new way to use both of my passions: Design and photography! But mostly I scrapbook because it's a way for me to express myself creatively and keep precious memories. I am still trying out and experimenting many different things. I'm very determined and I love to learn new things. I have many goals in life and one of them is to become a successful scrapper/designer!

our new dt members

just wanted to make a post with our new great dt girls!
i am so excited to have them on board and they are really awesome girls!

Amanda:

I am married to my husband, Jason for almost five years [where does the time go?!] and we have two beautiful children, Trenton 3 years old and Jocelyn 8 months. I have been scrapbooking for about 10 years and stamping for almost 6 years. I am completely addicted to this hobby. I love it so much I decided to make it a job for me. I have started my own scrapbooking/paper crafting company. I scrapbook for other people. I also have my own etsy store which I try to keep updated as much as I can.

Nikki:

I'm Nik from South Cackalack (South Carolina, USA).   I am married to the most wonderful man, Victor, and we have six terrific children  ages 19, 17, 15, 8, 5 and 4.  I work third shift as a  Detention Officer at a large city jail and I am the owner of Touched By  Love Florist and La Pasadita Seafood Restaurant.   I have been scrapping for 19 years but devotely for almost 10 years.   My style is linear with a touch of freestyle.   My favorite products/techniques are paint, stitching and ribbon.   I believe there is no right or wrong way to scrap as  long as the story of your life is being told.   I look forward to contributing and being inspired  here at Let's Scrap and can't wait to get to know y'all better :)

Deb:
