<br />
The months seem to be flying past this year. July already - lovely frosty mornings followed by gorgeous sunny days here in the Bay Of Plenty. Life is grand!<br />
<br />
This months Dusty Mood board took me somewhere completely different to what I originally had in mind - initially I was thinking a rich, colourful Moroccan themed layout - but my project segued into a trip of cards using some of Dusty Attics new release Whimsy Frames.<br />

<br />
Welcome to June! How the months are flying past this year! It's officially winter here in the antipodes, but we have been having chilly mornings and glorious hot sunny days! Long may that last!<br />
<br />
<br />
This months mood boards at Dusty Attic, as you can see, is reminiscent of the beach life - something that we are very fortunate to have a lot of here in New Zealand! So this was easy for me to find a photo to suit! <br />

A mixture of blooms - both paper and chipboard. Painted the chipboard Mini Blossoms #2 DA1505 with pink and white and used Liquid Pearls as stamens.</div>

DA Fancy Trim #3 is another versatile item - I snipped individual parts from it, painted them white and tucked them in here and there. Soft, lacy prettiness. I loved creating this!</div>
<div>

I have been having quite a creative week, and came up with this little 4x4 canvas, using Dusty Attic and lots of paint and sprays! My daughter has claimed it for her bedroom! </div>

When my daughter was 3 I took her to visit a lavender farm in the Waikato. It was pure beauty. Row upon row of lavender, buzzing with sleepy drunk bees, interspersed with old gnarly old olive trees, it was a scrapbookers heaven!!! I have used one of the photos in my layout this month as it fit the bill just perfectly!</div>

So nice to be back into the swing of things after a short hiatus! I am very excited to be part of the 2016 Dusty Attic Creative Team - if you haven't checked out their range of beautiful chipboard, flowers, paint and other essential mixed media items then click <a href="http://www.dustyattic.com.au/" target="_blank">here.</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Each month, the team at Dusty Attic put up a moodboard - details as follows:<br />
<br />
<br />
''Welcome to our Mood Board for 2016, we hope you love it as much as we do! Use the colours and words for Inspiration. Not only can you use Kraft, black or white cardstock but also it can be anything your heart desires to create, layouts, cards or an off the page project. The only "rule" is that you require Dusty Attic chipboard used on your masterpiece. Just add your link, name and country here to win a $100 Gift Voucher to the Dusty Attic website.''<br />
<br />
<br />
I have been lucky enough to see all the moodboards for the year ahead and they are totally gorgeous! <br />
<br />
<br />
I created this altered wooden block for January...<br />

But on to the delicious moodboard for March - a very shabby and vintage look and feel. Creams, whites and sepias, with fabric textures of lace, burlap and muslin. Hmmm, right up my alley and a perfect canvas to celebrate my Grandparents!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
I used a 12x12 sheet of Dusty Attic Corrugated Card DA08309 to create a faux printers tray. Easy to cut out and work with. Painted, inked, distressed and textured, the corrugated card was able to withstand a fair bit of punishment!</div>

A mixture of chipboard is incorporated into the layout, purely for decorative purposes of course! Using a mixture of Alabaster and Sunshine Dusty Attic paint, I painted the chipboard a lovely vintage cream, then clear embossed with UTEE. Really love the result! A few blooms of Dusty Attic Bridal Veil complimented the look.</div>

And so my year on the Marion Smith Design Team concludes. It has been my immeasurable pleasure and
honour to be amongst those hand picked by Marion to showcase her inaugural
collections.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not only have I loved creating with her paper designs, but it’s
been so exciting to see the development of her complimentary products such as
the never ending gorgeous Junque Gems, the intricately designed stamps and of
course the Bloom Impressions tool.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am sure Marion will continue to forge her success in this industry, supported by her fabulous, fit and equally
talented husband Garett, and I know that I will continue to enjoy her
collections, both past and present. <o:p></o:p></div>

So I’d like to leave you with a short slide show of the
Marion Smith Designs projects I have enjoyed creating over the last 12
months. Thanks to you all for your
inspiring comments left on the blog and your own support of Marion’s
products. Xxx<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
I was delighted to receive two new Kaisercraft Collections to create my Finalist DT Entry projects with. Base Coat Christmas and Tropical Punch. What a wonderful palette of colours to play with! I'd love to share with you some images of the projects.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Basecoat Christmas Collection 2014</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
I created a layout depicting a Christmas Wreath. This collection has so many wonderful images to fussy cut and use as embellishments, so these became the decorations for the wreath.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrOhFiCTVxJ7sA9M_T6WogyrxBjMU0Aq66YehjMxUjNThU60iAX8eBYKfeqCq46OJjmyDgSQ13AHWHBjgidllBQNk2CFU4HWml7Th5m5YjpMHGH5bMSPWpvGe4hgIim_LgG0QS/s1600/Wreath+Main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrOhFiCTVxJ7sA9M_T6WogyrxBjMU0Aq66YehjMxUjNThU60iAX8eBYKfeqCq46OJjmyDgSQ13AHWHBjgidllBQNk2CFU4HWml7Th5m5YjpMHGH5bMSPWpvGe4hgIim_LgG0QS/s1600/Wreath+Main.jpg" height="396" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I crafted the actual wreath base from corrugated cardboard, primed with gesso then aged with distress stains and antique gold embossing powders.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">I also decoupaged some dictionary definitions from an older Kaisercraft collection, randomly over the wreath to add another layer of interest.</span><br />

<br />
I must admit, I had difficulty deciding which photos to use with these papers - since they all pretty much worked! The palette in this collection just screams of summer days and balmy tropical holidays! Here I have created a layout of my beautiful daughter - whose personality matches the colours!<br />

Once again, I let the paper be the star of the show here, by using the images as embellishments. All the floral images are double layered and slightly shaped ( a-la paper tole) to give definition and a more realistic look and feel.</div>

Borne from a discussion about the need/want to get photos and journaling on a page in an aesthetic and fun way, without feeling obliged to go down the mixed media route. This group is not about dissing mixed media - which I personally love too - but rather rediscovering a simple, old fashioned craft.<br /><br />To join the group we only ask that you share with us the one thing that you enjoy most about this craft.

Thanks for finding your way to my blog - I hope to inspire you today with an altered piece I made with Easter in mind.<br />
<br />
<br />
I was thrilled to receive a healthy supply of Gluedots a few weeks ago, and even better still - a fabulous pink Gluedot dispenser! Gluedots are the perfect adhesive for an altered project like mine, and as they come in different sizes (small, med, large, xlarge etc) there was no need to cut up the dots to suit.<br />

So, I'd like to share my altered cross with you. I started with a plain MDF cross which I painted with gesso then black acrylic paint. I then covered the front with paper from the <a href="http://www.marionsmithdesigns.com/marion-smith-products-1.html?SID=171cbde87e6cf0f937802461711c70b4" target="_blank">Nirvana Collection</a> by Marion Smith Designs and lightly sanded back the edges.<br />

Choosing which Junque Gems and resins to use was the hardest part really! Since they are all so gorgeous I ended up making a random selection and just going with the flow! Little strands of dyed and distressed muslin are tucked in here and there to soften the effect.<br />

<br />
This time around I am posting my 3 projects that I have created as my Kaisercraft DT Application. Seriously, Kaisercraft have some of the easiest products to work with and such a huge variety, it would be a creative dream to work with their collections!<br />
<br />
First up is an OTP project - I chose to alter a Kaiser Wood mirror for my daughter, using lots of bits and bobs, gesso, sprays an gold patina wax.<br />

And lastly, a sweet card for someone very special. I love using the Kaisercraft wooden ladders as they are so versatile. In this instance, I have used a ladder as a trelllis for the beautiful blooms to climb on.</div>

I was inspired to make these mini albums after seeing some on sale at Spotlight (NZ equivalent of Michaels - only on a much much smaller scale!!!). Being a typical DIY crafter, I thought to myself that they would be simple to make, and sure enough they were! And of course, what better papers and embellishments to use inside than MSD!<br />
<br />
The front covers feature animal/insect motifs cut out of some left over fabric, and set the scene for what was inside.<br />
<br />
The first one is done in pink tones, with Marion's Motley Collection being the perfect choice inside, and a dash of Mad Tea Party here and there. See the cute teacup and saucer gracing the clock there? A delightful little charm from MSD.<br />

Marion always includes a journaling style page in each collection which are just perfect for mini album pages, or part of. For those of you who create using the pocket page system, you would love these too.</div>

Welcome to the Marion Smith and Petaloo combined blog hop! Thanks for finding your way to my blog - I hope what I have for you today will inspire you!<br />
<br />
I decided to team up two of Marion's recent collections - Motley and Garment District as the vintage tones blended so well with the prettiness and sparkle of the Petaloo blooms.<br />
<br />
First up I'd like to show you a layout I created using Motley, a selection of Marion's resins and Junque Gems, and of course some gorgeous soft Petaloo blooms. I also stamped and clear embossed the background teal card stock with a couple of Marion's new texture stamps. This just breaks up any 'blank' spaces very subtly.<br />

Moving on now to a sweet card and coordinating envelope, using Garment District papers and Petaloo blooms in teal tones. I managed to sneak in one of Marion's cute little paper doillies and a shabby white metal embellishment! I just love the demure tones of this collection.<br />

Phew! Getting this posted just in the nick of time! We are expecting tropical cyclone Lusi to hit shortly, which will bring with it gale force winds, torrential rainfall and power outages - so we are told! No power = no internet = no blogging!<br />
<br />
<br />
So here it is folks, my inaugural <a href="http://g45papers.typepad.com/graphic45/2014/02/lovely-layouts-with-graphic-45.html" target="_blank">Graphic 45 Design Team Audition</a>. I must admit to feeling quite nervous about his one - the competition is pretty fierce for one of these coveted spots - and the submissions that I have seen so far have set a very high standard. So, best of luck to each and every one of you applying!<br />
<br />
<br />
I really wanted to create a couple of projects using the latest and greatest papers - <a href="http://www.g45papers.com/by-the-sea-category" target="_blank">By the Sea </a>and <a href="http://www.g45papers.com/botanical-tea-category" target="_blank">Botanical Tea</a>. Which meant waiting patiently (i.e. wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth!) for the papers to arrive in NZ. Which in turn meant a late start! But all is well, and I am happy with the resulting items!<br />
<br />
<br />
I am not one for creating projects that have no practical application - that's just me! When I make something, it needs to have a purpose, otherwise it just becomes a dust collector. This again was the emphasis when deciding what projects to create.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'd like to warm up for this audition with a couple of cards. Those of you who have done my classes know how much I love pop-up and interactive cards. I hope you enjoy these two:<br />
<br />
<br />
<em><u><strong>Botanical Tea - Thinking of You Pop Up Card</strong></u></em><br />
<br />
<br />
I think it would be pretty difficult to mess up with these papers - they are quite sublime in their vintage beauty! With oodles of elements to fussy cut, <a href="http://www.g45papers.com/products/botanical-tea-category" target="_blank">Botanical Tea</a> is perfect for an interactive project.<br />
<br />

<em><strong><u>12 Days of Christmas Card</u></strong></em><br />
<br />
<br />
I created this card with the emphasis on an unusual opening, rather than an interactive piece. To give the card front its convex share, I used 2 layers of card stock, then the patterned paper. This gave the covers some 'weight' to use when shaping them. More fussy cut elements of course, with the essential application of very fine glitter dust for that touch of sparkle and magic!<br />

OK, lets continue on with a couple of OTP items. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><em><u>By The Sea Board Game</u></em></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
Move over Monopoly! I would like to introduce you to a new board game called 'By the Sea.' I have had this board in my stash for nearly 9 years now. I knew that one day I wanted to create my own board game, it was just a matter of waiting for the right inspiration and paper line to come my way! Voila! <a href="http://www.g45papers.com/products/by-the-sea-category" target="_blank">By the Sea</a>.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Essentially, this is a timed game. Set the timer for 10 - 20 -30 minutes or more and off you go. Starting on the Bon Voyage tile, throw the dice and move said number of spaces. Each tile will have instructions to either collect shells from the 'bank' or lose shells, with 3 tiles offering you the chance to pick up an Opportunity Card. The Opportunity Cards will significantly boost or deplete your shell collection! The winner is the person with the most shells at the end of the timed period!<br />

My children have tested the game -and it does actually work! What's more, they said it was fun!!!! Not as fun as it was to make this project - I loved doing this!<br />
<br />
<br />
<em><strong><u>Typography Inspirational Wall Art</u></strong></em><br />
<em><br /></em>
Personally, I reckon all children need to be inspired on a daily basis - if only even in a small way. The minute I saw the <a href="http://www.g45papers.com/products/typography-category" target="_blank">Typography </a>line from Graphic 45 I knew I wanted to create an inspirational piece of art for my son to hang in his bedroom. The quotes and the colour ways are perfect for a young man.<br />

After cutting out the quotes and other miscellaneous pieces, I mounted them on chipboard pieces. These are in turn mounted onto a piece of foam board (to counteract the weight of the tiles). Sometimes, less is more, so I elected to embellish this piece on this basis. Plus, I really wanted the emphasis to rest on the messages more so than the decorations.<br />

Well folks, that should give you a good example of what I'm all about, creatively! I hope you enjoyed the journey - and fingers crossed that I can post next month <b><i><u>with a G45 DT Badge to boot!</u></i></b><br />

I can not tell you how much I love the Mad Tea Party range from Marion Smith Designs. The papers are whimsical and pretty, romantic and fun! I am working on a rather time consuming project using Mad Tea Party at the moment, but took a short hiatus to create a sweet layout for my daughter! These papers typify her personality - sweet, pretty, fun, quirky, adaptable..........<br />

A selection of blooms from Manor house Creations adds some dimension and helps to create flow. Pieces of lace and sprinklings of pearls add a touch of romance. I also applied a light random coat of modelling paste to the corrugated cardboard for extra interest.</div>

The range is titled 'Believe' and concentrates on elegant, vintage style neutral tones. Which makes them doubly versatile, since the papers can be coloured to suit your project! This is one of my favourites...<br />

We kicked off the Webster's Workshop with a Christmas themed layout, using Brandin O'Neills <a href="http://www.websterspages.com/a-christmas-story/scrapbooking/a-christmas-story" target="_blank">'A Christmas Story'</a> papers. So beautiful, love the creams and blues and golds.<br />

Then we made a start on the Mini Album - using <a href="http://www.websterspages.com/postcards-from-paris-ii/scrapbooking/postcards-from-paris-ii" target="_blank">'Postcards from Paris II'</a> papers. These are just delightful, and lend themselves to so many themes. The cover of the mini album was very mixed media, taking a few ladies far from their comfort zone I'm told!!! Jill from <a href="http://www.scrapfx.com.au/store/" target="_blank">ScrapFX</a> supplied the specially designed chipboard album, and Nerrida at <a href="http://manorhousecreationsblog.com/" target="_blank">Manorhouse Creations</a> donated oodles of gorgeous flowers for the girls to add to their albums. A huge thanks to both of you!<br />

I always try to have a little stash of cards on hand in the cupboard and generally make them so they suit potentially any occasion. Today I'd like to share with you a card I made from leftovers of the gorgeous Scarlet printable range by Marion Smith Designs.<br />

This involves creating a scene using papers and embellishments, and usually incorporates lots of layers and fussy cutting! In this layout I used a photo of my daughter when she was still a kindergartner! I love the shot of her, but alas there was another child in the background - most unfortunately exploring her nostril with her finger!!! I really had no choice but to cut her out and silhouette the remaining image!<br />

<br />
Once I had committed to doing this, the theme of the layout just started to evolve. The look of wonder on my daughter Meg's face lent itself to creating something magical. The <a href="http://www.marionsmithdesigns.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=scarlet">Scarlet</a> range of papers that Marion has in her <a href="http://www.marionsmithdesigns.com/marion-smith-designs-1.html?p=2">printables</a> range was perfect for this. And no magical layout is quite complete with a wee spinkling of fairies is it?!!<br />
<br />
To soften the look of the cream Bazzill background I used Viva Modelling Cream in Pearl with a damask stencil. Not too overbearing but just enough to soften the look.<br />

Not only can you make your own rub ons (as seen in my<a href="http://marionsmithdesigns.blogspot.co.nz/2013/08/making-your-own-rub-ons.html" target="_blank"> last post</a> on Marion Smith Designs) but you can also make gorgeous wee shrinky dinks! Yes, Shrink Plastic is laser and inkjet printer friendly!<br />
<br />
The only trick really, is to adhere your shrink plastic to a regular sheet of printer paper (I use washi tape to adhere at the top of the page). <br />
<br />
I'd like to show you the result of using Marion Smiths Printables on shrink plastic, I made a little hanging bag charm for a dear friend who is off to the other side of the world shortly, to spend some time with and farewell a terminally ill friend. I particularly want her to remember that she is in our hearts at this time...<br />

<div>
First and foremost I want to thank all who applied to be on the design team, I am so amazed at how many of you showed your support and love for my work, it really means so much to me. Choosing a design team was so incredibly hard thanks to you! Everyone that applied was just amazing, so much beautiful art and so many unique qualities I was battling with myself over and over with each new applicant. I have saved all contact info from everyone that has applied in hopes that I can call on you for future Guest Blog posts. I love you all so much and sincerely hope there are no hurt feelings, I wish I could have had all of you! Thank you so much!<br />
<br />

<br />
Many many years ago I saw a creative woman on Youtube making videos of the most incredible crafts. Altered canvases, and mini albums. I admired her for a long, long time for her creativity and inventiveness. She was able to take something so insignificant and turn it into something so beautiful. </div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
Today that woman, Marion Smith, calls me her friend and I am beyond honoured that she has chosen me to be apart of her design team. It's even the more special because it's my very first design team position.<br />
<br />
In my professional life I am an educator of 7th and 8th grade students. I am so fortunate to be able to do that job and I love it every day. Personally I am the wife to Cordell and we've been married for 2 years and we are having a blast being married. He's my biggest supporter and willingly looks the other way when I purchase scrapbooking supplies. He's very supportive that way. I have one angel baby watching over my family and one fur baby who is spoiled rotten.<br />
<br />
My artistic style has been refined in recent years. As I learn more and more about art, and design my style changes to adapt to what feels and looks "right" to me. I'm a big fan of learning techniques and adapting those to fit my style of crafting. I'd describe my style as evolving. I'm inspired by photography and unique colour combinations. I also tend to use complementary colours and love texture.<br />
<br />
I'm social networking obsessed am always connected via my i-devices. I'd love to connect with you! Send me a message. Tag me @alwaysangella!! I'm so proud to be included in this fabulous groups of talented international group of designers and I can't wait to be inspired.</div>

I've been a follower of Marion's for years and have learned so much from her. I feel so honored being selected as a member of her first design team. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I'm happily married to my high school sweetheart Kenny Gibbs for 24 years. We have two children Brittany (19), and Brighton (17). I am a versatile artist and love experimenting with new techniques and different styles. Because of this I would consider my personal style to be eclectic. I can do it all - from Shabby Chic to Grunge, from digital to paper crafting, from mixed media to altered art. I enjoy the challenge of experimenting outside my comfort zone. I let the art speak to me and dictate the style - rather than me forcing the style. I like that each style fills my need for creativity, but require different mindsets. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I'm known in the crafty community as Psychomom. I know that is a bit unorthodox, but once you know me - you will totally get it! The name came from my son's baseball coach when he was 7 and it just stuck. I also enjoy photography and own a small Youth Sports Photography business. The name started from that business. I am also the lead educator for FlamingoScraps.com, design for TeddyBoo.com, both online retailers, and a blogger for WeAreArtsyAddicts.blogspot.com. I love hanging out on Facebook Instagram, Pinterest, and Youtube. I also teach monthly Ustream classes on the first Monday of each month. I look forward to an exciting year with these talented artists.</div>

My name is Peggy Lee Baker, I live in the White Mountians of New Hampshire with my two beautiful daughters, and my wonderful hubby of 21 years. I enjoy sharing my love for scrapbooking, stamping, sewing-taking something olde with something new and creating one of a kind art. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I love rustic, vintage, shabby chic, grunge!I create everyday even if it's just trying out new ideas, techniques and create play! I also love to teach/share with others that they too can be creative-I do classes in my home, I love it when they have created something so beautiful and they say I made that....my soul is full of creative scraps of art waiting to be freed...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am a blog author for Artsy Addicts, Design Team member for Die~Namites Dies. You can follow me on my blog "Creative Scraps by Peggy Lee" over on blogger.I've been a follower of Marion's for a few years now back when I stumbled upon a youtube video of hers...and that's all it took I was hooked-loved her style and willingness to share her passion! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am thrilled to take this creative journey with her, and love Marion's new fabulous paper collections and I'm excited to see where it goes.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I am 36 years old Polish crafter and I have been living in Iceland for 12 years. I work as an Icelandic teacher. My scrapbooking fascination started about 3.5 years ago but I have been deeply preoccupied with that for the last two years.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I love light pastels, vintage and shabby chic, nevertheless I feel comfortable in any pattern. In my case everything is dependent on the kind of paper I can see on my desk, the topic of a card and finally my mood. I am a responsible and conscientious person, open to new challenges and opportunities. </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/marion.smith.5?directed_target_id=424232554361444"><span style="font-size: small;">Marion</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">, thank you for this one. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">My name is Maggie Armstrong and I live by the seaside in New Zealand with my husband and 2 children (and 1 rescue cat!). I was introduced to scrapbooking and cardmaking by a close friend in 2004, and quickly fell in love with it! I had always thought that I didn't have an artistic bone in my body, but scrapbooking and it's complimentary crafts (e.g. altered art, OTP, cardmaking and mixed media) opened up a whole new world and definition of art to me. I grabbed this 'world' with both hands and it's been such an amazing journey over the last 9 years, developing and mastering techniques, keeping a blog, teaching around New Zealand and SENZ (Scrapbook Expo of New Zealand) that I really feel I have found my passion. </span><br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
I find it difficult to pigeon-hole my style as I like to experiment with most techniques, but if I had to narrow my style down I would have to describe it as Shabby Chic meets Mixed Media Grunge! You'll see that I like to use lots of different mediums in my work, and I'm always on the lookout for something a little 'different' to incorporate into my classes. I love to create 'paperscape' style layouts where I create a scene with papers and embellishments. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I am so thrilled to be working with Marion and her incredibly Creative Team and I know we are all looking forward to inspiring you all!</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">My name is Nadia Cannizzo, and I was born and raised in Greece before settling in Sydney, Australia in 1989. I just turned 35, and married my husband almost 15 years ago. Together we live in the suburbs of Sydney raising our 3 daughters (6, 4 & 3 months) while trying to stay sane! I am a Primary School teacher and absolutely love my work, but its on hold right now while I raise my children. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I create something almost every day, and I am like a child on Christmas morning when a parcel of goodies arrives at my doorstep. I create depending on how I feel that day and my personality and mood are reflected on my work. I am a neat freak, impulsive, extremely loyal, obsessed with my children, super sensitive, a lover of movies and cooking, a wannabe world traveler (I have a bucket list yes!), a people lover, and extremely passionate about little children and their well being. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">My motto in life is "nothing is impossible" and I never take no for an answer.</span><br />

Hey paper peeps! Can I just say how excited and honored I am to be a part of Marions new team?! She is so amazingly talented and I love her dearly! I have been artsy fartsy my whole life, but I have been papercrafting since my first son was born 14 years ago. (sheesh!) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I live in the Chicagoland area and have 2 amazing boys who are my biggest inspiration! I think scrapbooking is so important because I never want my loved ones to wonder how much I love and cherish them. Thank you so much for having me Marion, and here's to embarking on this new creative journey!! Woohoo!!</div>

My name is Ana Paula Leal and I was born in 1970 and live in Santa Catarina, a state in South of Brazil. I’m an architect, but recently I decided to dedicate my time to scrapbooking, teaching and giving workshops all over Brazil. </div>
<div>
</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">I currently write for magazines, take part in forums, Design Teams, and I also help develop materials for this area. It means that nowadays my profession, Architecture, is in second place.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span> </h2>
<span style="font-size: small;">Marion, thank you very much for such a great opportunity. It’s good to know that in this globalized work we can communicate through a universal language: Art.</span><br />

Hello! My name is Kim Price and I live on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia with my husband of 20 years and our two grown up teenage daughters. </div>
<div>
<br />
I have a strong passion for papercrafting having enjoyed this pursuit for over 10 years now but I have always had a keen interest in the arts and anything creative. I love to incorporate mediums into my scrapbooking and find that this satisfies both my natural flair for the arts as well as a way to document some of my most treasured memories. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I create something every day, even if it is a scribble in a journal or an idea for a project I have on my mind. I love color, I love design, I love new ideas and I love to experiment. And I love Marion's amazing new collections.</div>

I am Colette Nederhoff from the Sunny Southwest! I grew up in the Midwest (Iowa) but moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico 26 years ago. I am married to my kindergarten sweetheart and we celebrated 30 years of marriage this July. I have 2 biological kids ages 22 and 19 and my third child is our adopted daughter from Korea. She is now 14 and is probably the most cooperative photo model! My 22 year old just got married two weeks ago and I was a happy Mother of the Bride the last 6 months helping with wedding planning! Fun!</div>
<div>

<div>
I have been a crafter all my life and love all types of mediums! I love to sew, paint, stamp, photograph, and just about anything else you can think of. I have worked as a hairdresser, floral and balloon designer, and a retail window display designer. I am obsessed with all things "Scrapbooking." As many of you, I have and continue to be a huge fan of Marion's designs. </div>
