September 2015 Guest Designer Craft Challenges

Can you believe September is almost over?  We wanted to send you a reminder just in case you haven't uploaded your projects to one or ALL of this month's Guest Designer Challenges!

Screenname: Cnmommy

First name: Crystal

Favorite Color: Red for décor but blue for everything else

I mostly create: I currently seem to be making a great deal of single layouts with multiple 3X4 pictures. I love combining 2-6 4X6 photos on one 4X6 to get as many photos on a single layout as I can.

I still have a soft spot for double layouts! Creating home décor items also allows me to express myself and make pretty things!

I started scrap booking in the loosest sense of the word way back in high school (circa 96-99). I still have those books -decorative cut pictures and all! I didn't do too much more throughout college and my Army career, but I was always creative. I kept planners, calendars, created cards, and home décor items. When we found out I was pregnant in 2007 I was bitten by the scrappy bug HARD.
