Color Combo Challenge #73

(05/26-06/01)

Please welcome our Guest Designer this week, Kim Moreno!

I am just thrilled that Janet invited me as Guest Designer, this has been a fun challenge!

I am a stay at home mom to five short ones ranging in age from 12 to 6 year old twins, it's a crazy life but one that I love! I have been married to my military husband Jesse for almost 15 years, we are currently stationed in Arizona. We will be retiring to Texas very soon and I just can't wait!

I have been crafting since I can remember. I have always enjoyed being creative and scrapbooking has given me a wonderful outlet for it. I have been very fortunate to have been published in most major magazines including Memory Makers, Creating Keepsakes, BHG, Scrapbook Trends, Paper Crafts, Cards, and more. I was also named Memory Makers Masters runner up for 2008, what an honor! I also design for Dream Street Papers, Glitz, Core'dinations Cardstock, and Pageframes.

I love knowing that I am capturing those everyday memories on paper for my kids to look back and enjoy as they get older.

Thank you once again Janet for asking me to guest design!!

Thank you so much, Kim! We love your work!

Please welcome our Guest Designer this week, Molly Peckham!

First off, I just want to extend a HUGE thank you to Janet, and all the girls here, for allowing me to be the guest designer this week! :D I had so much fun playing! :D

I am a SAHM of two wonderful boys, Brendan, who is 6, and Alexander, who is 4, and our spitfire of a daughter, Caitlynn, who is 1. I am married to a wonderful and very supportive husband, Paul, who is in the Navy. We have been for married 8 years on March 17th. Currently we are living in Hawaii (yeah, I tend to not believe it, either, especially since I am soooo use to cold weather).

I have been scrapping for 7 years, and love every minute of it! I love creating these pages for my family and love to see their reactions when I do a page for them. But what I love most about this hobby has been the people that I have met and the feeling that I get when I have finished a layout.

I have been published in PaperKuts, Scrapbook Trends, NanC and Company, Scrapbook Answers, and Cantana Books, as well as being on the design teams for Work In Progress, Simply Cardstock and Everlasting Keepsakes. I also am very lucky to be able to work with Janelle Richmond on her sketch blog, Sketch This, and have also been asked to work with Patti Hutchinson, and her sketches, called Phutch Sketches. Can you tell I am a bit obsessed with sketches .

Besides that, I am also a photographer, and have recently opened up my business on the island of Oahu (very scary for me, but I am ready!). To say I have been busy is a bit of an understatement...lol!

Again, I just can't thank Janet enough! :D I hope that everyone likes this weeks colors. :)


Thank you so much, Molly! Your layouts are always ROCKIN'!

Color Combo Challenge #71

(05/12-05/18)

Please welcome our Guest Designer this week, Janine Langer!

I am 31 years old and live in Solingen, between Düsseldorf and Cologne in Germany, with my husband René and our cute little 5-year-old monster Gabriel. I started digiscrapping in 2005, but only from time to time. I missed using my hands, so I always knew that I will 'paper scrap' in the future and in January 2007 I finally started to scrap with paper. I still try to integrate some digital elements now and then, but scrapping with paper is the thing I love. My favorite subject to scrapbook is definitively my family. I love to capture memories - especially our everyday life - trusting that our son will love it when he is old enough to appreciate it.
I've met so much beautiful and talented ladies since I started scrapping and I love to be part of such a wonderful community. And I am also very excited to be a guest designer for Color Challenge blog. It is such a fantastic inspiration, thank you!

Can't wait to see it online and I can't wait to see what you did with the color combo! Thank you again!

Have a wonderful day,
Janine

Thank you so much, Janine! You ROCK!!!

Janine's style and layouts are all their own. Her designs are so beautiful with how she distresses, layers and adds beautiful texture to them. I am thrilled and honored that she is with us this week. Get a closer look and visit her blog!

Color Combo Challenge #70

(05/05-05/11)


Please welcome our Guest Designer this week, Cindy Liebel!

Hi there, my name is Cindy Liebel. I am a devoted wife to Tim (5+ yrs), a mother to two beautiful children, Tyler (5 yrs) and Corinne (10 mths) and I enjoy capturing the everyday life of my family through the lens. I have enjoyed scrapbooking for almost 5 years and love every minute of it. I tend to scrap mostly 12x12, but I also enjoy smaller sizes such as 8.5x11, 9x9, etc. Mini books and altering anything that screams to be altered is another way I like to express myself in this hobby. I love trying new things and stepping outside of the box. My favorite essentials I grab for first are cardstock, chipboard, brads, buttons, jewels, T-ruler, corner rounder and anything circular. I'm fortunate to have a studio all to myself to house all my scrapbook goodies. Other hobbies I enjoy are making jewelry, photography, home improvement projects, fine arts & sewing. If I'm not scrapbooking, you can find me on the couch indulging in a good movie & playing w/ my kids.

Currently, I am a Garden Girl for Two Peas In A Bucket, an American Crafts Creative Design Team member and I was named 2007 Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame Honorable Mention. You can find some of my work published in a variety of scrapbook magazines, such as, Scrapbooks Etc, Scrapbook Trends, Legacy Magazine, Memory Makers & Creating Keepsakes.

I am so excited & honored to be a guest designer for the Color Challenge blog this week, thanks so much Janet :-)



Woohoo! Thank you so much Cindy! WE are totally honored!!!!
