DESIGNER OF THE MONTH

 This is the kit that our Designer of the Month entrants purchased to make a two-page layout and two cards for their submissions.  When all of the votes were cast and counted, Shaunery Wharton was our new Designer of the Month.  Congratulations to Shaunery!  

This is the two page layout that Shaunery created using the products provided  So many wonderful features on this layout!

Check out this jack-o-lantern.  Love the mottled orange color and he is covered with crackle accents for even more fun.

Love those orange pearl swirls!  And the paint splats were made using the new Tim Holtz stencils--you know you want some of those so you can do this!

These are Shaunery's card entries.  The witch on the card on the left is covered with glossy accents.

As you can see from these projects, Shaunery is a very artistic lady and loves all things Tim Holtz...including Tim!  I asked Shaunery to share some information about herself so everyone could get to know her better.

I am a stay-at-home-mom of three "kids" who are now  college, high school and intermediate students now!  I've been scrap booking for 20 years. For 13+ years I've been married to my best friend & husband.  Between his military career and the kids, there's no shortage of photo's or occasions to scrap.

My favorite scrapbook "theme" is vintage, grunge, dated, antiqued and old.  So Tim Holtz & Ranger are my "go to" products.  Single page and two page layouts are always something I've done, but lately my interests are drifting to "little" projects" and even mini albums.  This is surprising, considering the stack of unfinished albums there are in the cupboard!  

Challenges are also a new interest.  They keep me on my toes and push me to try new things.  The ladies who join along, also provide enormous inspiration as well.  Cat's gals are all so talented and and it always gets my creative juices flowing when I get to hang out at the store for crops or classes.  

Shaunery is on the design team for CSI, Color, Stories, Inspiration, a group that has a challenge every week.  I've played along on a couple of their challenges and they are a lot of fun and very challenging.  Lots of creative talent over there.

Congratulations to Shaunery for being our second Designer of the Month!
