The challenge...

As for the Guest Design Team Member for September, we drew a name, but didn't actually make contact with the lucky winner so you'll have to wait for her acceptance before we make the actual announcement! How's that for suspense?

Thanks again for joining us and we look forward to seeing your pages this week!

Regina Hudson Jones.....

Hi I am Regina Jones from Abbeville, AL. I am a SAHM to one very rambunctious 5 year old, Patrick, plus our fur babies, 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 birds and fish. Sometimes it feels like a zoo, but it leads to some great scrap pages.

I have been scrapbooking on and off since high school but really came back to it around the birth of my son in 2003. I love to try new techniques and my style tends to change with my moods, but I love that because it keeps everything fresh and new. Scraping and stamping is my creative outlet, my "me" time, my stress reliever. I love that this obsession/craft can be all of those things but I can also preserve our family memories at the same time. My son is the main subject of my pages but I am trying to scrap more of my husband and myself so that Patrick will be able to know "who" we are as well. We all know kids don't pay attention to the details until later in life...lol.

I am so excited to be on the Scrap and Stamp DT and I look forward to sharing my work with you.

And here is a sample of Regina's work......

Erin Bailey....

Hi, My name is Erin. A little over 5 years ago I attended my first Stampin' Up! workshop and was immediately hooked on stamping! I became a demo shortly after which works perfectly with being a part-time working mom of two busy little girls. After joining the blog scene a year ago, I have found new products and friends from around the world to stamp with. Luckily I have a husband who is growing more supportive of my hobby each day! I find it is the perfect way to relax after a hard day!

And here's a sample of Erin's work........

Are you as excited as we are for Saturday? Not only do we have an awesome set of designers with fantastic layouts, but we also have a prize package from a fabulous company that you won't want to miss!

Stampin' Hugs and Many Blessings,
Alex and Melissa
