Help Us Welcome Anne-Marie - Our November 2015 Guest Designer!
First name: Anne-Marie
Favorite Color: Green. While looking through my gallery I noticed that I seem to like pairing green with pink! J
My craft supply 'must have': Patterned paper – I just can’t keep away from it! Oh my goodness, I have tons of it! I also love small shiny bling and stickers.
Guilty pleasure: I consider all of scrapbooking my guilty pleasure lol. I work at home so when I need a break from the computer/sitting at the desk, I go scrap for 5 minutes, 15 minutes, however much time I can get. You know, instead of doing housework! ;) I like to combine my love of needlework with my love of scrapping so sometimes I plan layouts that I can stitch on while watching TV. Aside from scrapping, my guilty pleasures would be all things geeky. I love sci-fi, fantasy, and historical fiction genres in books and TV/movies. I also love when I have time to curl up with a hot cup of tea and a book.
Layout: Bella Bambina - Challenge #1 - COLOR

Layout: Squanto's home - Challenge #2 - SKETCH
