Vanessa's 15 Minutes

This week's famer is Vanessa Colbourne.

Check out her blog.

Vanessa's bio:

I am currently an intern at a local grade school, where I am doing the last months of my education degree. Along with a love of kids and learning, I recently (in the last year) discovered an extreme joy of crafting. I mainly just scrapbook, however, right now I am trying my hand at making cards and other little crafts. When it comes to my scrapbooking I love to do albums for people as gifts (working on one for my dad right now of my uncle who recently passed away and one for my mom of her wedding this past summer) or just for the joy of it. I scrap each weekend with my friends-a little music, a glass of wine and away we go!

Her bio:

Wow! I am so honored to be this week's Famer! I have been taking photos & making scrapbooks for most of my life, but became seriously addicted to it about 10 years ago when my husband proposed. I also make hand-made cards and recently became a design team member at Let's Scrap. I love fashion, love to travel, love music, love to work-out & am training for my 2nd 1/2 marathon, and more than anything else....love being a wife to Bob & a mom to Bryn (who also loves to take photos & make scrapbooks!) They complete me...

Thanks again, I really am honored & so grateful! :-)

Marti's 15 Minutes

This week's famer is Marti Cirillo!

Check out her blog Love My Life.

Marti's bio:

Hi! My name is Marti Cirillo. I'm a stay-at-home mom to two terrific kids. My daughter, Maria, is 11 and my son, Nick, is 9. My DH Tom, well what can I say, he's truly wonderful and totally supports my addiction. Although he hates seeing the mess. We love heading to the beach and the pool, so you'll probably see a lot of water-themed LOs in my galleries. We also enjoy BBQing and having friends over.

I've always been involved with one type of craft or another, but scrapbooking is my only obsession now and I've been at it for 12 years. I'm addicted to it all, but really love brads, rub-ons, flowers, and chipboard. I also love to make cards and need to get out my stamps and use them more often. I currently design for Scrapbook Playground, Crop Addict and Use Your Stash Blog. I love volunteering at my kids' school, am an avid reader and I collect Russian stamps.

Jennifer's 15 Minutes

This week's famer is Jennifer.

Jennifer's bio: 

Hi everyone!

My name is Jennifer. I live in RI and am a wife and full-time working mom to a toddler and an infant – the subjects of most of my pages - I don’t want to forget a thing!

I’ve always enjoyed creating things and when I’m not creating, I’m thinking about creating! I make both traditional (since 2000) and digital scrapbook layouts (since 2006), as well as minis and other projects. I am currently obsessed with photography and my Canon Rebel XTi!

When it’s tough to carve out creative time (which is often!), I cruise the Internet and/or blogs/magazines for inspiration. There are so many talented people out there! Keep it up!

HUGE thanks to Unpubbed for picking me!!! I am so new to blogging and sharing my layouts - I’m totally honored and excited to have my 15 minutes!

Stop by and visit me…

Stephanie's 15 Minutes

This week's famer is the talented Stephanie Wheeler.

You can check out her blog Living Room Floor and her etsy shop here.

Stephanie's bio:

I am a Graphic Designer from Chattanooga, Tennessee and I have been scrapping since 1997. I'm recently married to my awesome husband Bo, who gave me the best present ever when we got married - my own scrap room :D

I have been fascinated with crafting my whole life and feel that I have finally found the place where I'm supposed to be in the world...designing during the day and crafting late into the night. I am very involved at ScrapInStyletv.com where I am part of their digital design team.

Aside from being a part of such an amazing hobby, I am blessed by the amazing people that I have met doing something I truly enjoy.

Shalini's 15 Minutes

Shalini Chandra is our talented famer this week!

You can check out her blog here.

Bio:
I am a Bridge Design engineer by profession and an Artist at heart.
I love keeping my hands busy creating things to express myself in various ways.

Scrapbooking is a natural choice for me as it opens up my creative horizons so that words, images, photographs, sketches and other design elements meld together and morph into a totally new medium.

I have been married to a wonderful guy named Devesh for 9 years, have two cute little daughters, Saumya (3 yrs.) and Divya (10 months). Life is passing at a breathless pace, I just want to capture all the sweet moments and little stories into memories to be cherished.

Here's her awesome layout:

Christina's 15 Minutes

This week's Famer:Christina Clouse

Blog: Coffee Girl

Bio:

Hi there! My name is Christina. I’m 26 and live in Seattle with my boyfriend of 8 ½ years Greg. I love playing with art supplies, wearing pretty shoes and watching CSI. (Not all at the same time--but I should probably try that...it sounds like a lot of fun!)
I’ve been scrapbooking seriously for about a year and a half and totally love it! I’ve recently discovered how much fun paint can be on layouts and am still trying to figure out my own personal style. I love trying new techniques. For example, I just learned how to emboss and I have also recently gotten into soldering. I also have a serous addiction to stamps, Hambly and AC Thickers. While I have never been published, you can also find my designs on my blog as well as on the Sweet Spuds Kit Club website and the challenge site ScrapMojo.
