Meet the last of our guest designers for October, Keandra Perkins-Willis
My name is Keandra Perkins-Willis and I was born, raised, ran from and returned to New Orleans, Louisiana! I am the wife of John (who actually prays to God each night for continued creativity for his wife…how sweet is THAT?!?). I am the mother of six children: three from my womb (Jamani-17;Ahmad-12; and Keanohn-10 months) and three who came with my husband package (Aaron-21;John Jr.-20; and Engela-17). In my alternate life I’m a postal worker but my dream is to grow up to be Heidi Swapp!




You can check out more of Keandra’s fabulous work HERE.

Thanks to our fabulous designers!!! Tomorrow I will start posting some pages that customers have created-they rock!!!

Jakki Weddle

Meet our second guest designer for October, Jakki Weddle.So I don’t have any recent photos of me without my sunglasses…true Cali girl addicted to expensive shades ;) And can’t go anywhere with out them. I’m a Mom to a beautiful 2 year old going on 4 (that’s what she tells me) opinionated little girl. And married to a guy who lets me buy lots of expensive paper. My scrapbooks are my journals, a way to tell my story (or daughters story) . Photographs, paper, and pen. I was always the kid who toted around way too many crayons, markers, a sketchbook, and a camera. I got a degree in Fine Arts. My style is an accumulation of edgy traditionalism… nothing is sacred… but all is considered. And I love using scraps!!!
Here are the projects Jakki made with the kit:

Happy Tuesday!

Meet Cheryl Nelson…

Sunday, October 5th, 2008
Meet 1 of our 3 fabulous guest designers, Cheryl Nelson. I am 47 years old and love life! I have five children, two married, one in college, and two still at home. I have THE CUTEST grandsons in the history of the world and I am expecting a granddaughter at the end of December. My husband and I have been married 26 years. I love to spend time with my family. My happiest days are when we are together just playing and hanging out. I also loooooove to read. Books have been my good friends for a very long time. I became an obsessive scrapbooker as soon as I picked up the hobby, three and a half years ago.
Here are Cheryl’s projects she made with the October kit:




I love how she used the butterflies and the embroidery floss!!

I can’t wait to introduce you to the other girls, so stay tuned!! I will also be posting some fun little things you can make with the scraps with the kit AND sharing some cute projects from some of the customers (you girls are fast!!!!).

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!
