Meet August Guest Design Team Member Rhonda

Rhonda was chosen to become a Guest Design Team Member for her June Challenge layout.  She said:

I am a stay-at-home mom, but in my "other life" I worked in the advertising, graphic design and visual marketing fields. I started scrapbooking in about 2002, when my son was born, and now this hobby takes over our entire guest bedroom!  I love my Cricut and Thickers and will ink the edge of anything that will sit still.  I also enjoy stamping and card-making for those "need instant gratification" moments.  I cannot neglect to mention my handsome and patient hubby who is very $upportive of my hobby!  Thanks for asking me to be on the August Guest Design Team.

Meet August Guest Design Team Member Sindi

Please welcome Sindi to our Scrap Our Stash August Guest Design Team.  Sindi's card in the June challenge won her this spot on the August Guest Design Team.  Sindi says:

I  started scrapping when I was pregnant with my son in 2002. Iwandered into a little scrapbooking store and have been completely hooked ever since. Most of my layouts are devoted to my son, althoughI do like to do some heritage scrapping and have recently started cardmaking (which I'm loving!). I live with my hubby and son in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee. 

Be sure to check back in during August to see what Sindi and all the others submit for the August Challenge.   You could win a spot on the October Guest Design Team - just by taking the August Challenge.

Meet August Design Team Member - Sara

My name is Sara Zenger and I have lived in the same area of Northern New York for my entire life - 30 years! There is something about 'Small Town' USA that has made my husband of 9 years and I want to stay and raise our 6 year old son in. We are close to both of our families and enjoy the feeling of being home. I am a full time working girl outside of the the home, as the manager for my parents' convenience store. This is a business that my parents have owned and grown for 30 years and its very much a part of who I am. However, 6 years ago I tapped in to my more creative side when I started scrapbooking and soon it became a full time hobby! I started to try and make a little money to support my habit and to show others how much fun and rewarding scrapbooking could be. I started offering 'Scrap N Chat Days' at local community centers one Saturday per month. These days have done more for me that I ever could have imagined! I am amazed at how many women came to me wanting to scrapbook but did not know how or where to start and once they gave it a try they have never
looked back! I have met many wonderful people and made so many friends that mean the world to me. It makes me feel so good to know that I have helped so many women! My Scrap N Chat Days still continue but now I have converted my garage in to a scrapbook room for 24 girls to come and enjoy with me! I am currently preparing to host my 7th weekend long retreat! My very first retreat had 12 girls in attendance and I was thrilled with that but as of my last retreat we were up to 72 girls and still growing! It just goes to prove that there are scrapbookers everywhere, even in small towns! I recently started my blog in hopes to inspire others to try something new and give them creative ideas.

All of us at Scrap Our Stash are looking forward to working with Sara for the month of August. I am sure her enthusiasium for scrapbooking will inspire all of us.
