Here is what Michelle has to say about herself!

I've always been a documenter - keeping old-fashioned scrapbooks, autograph books and boxes of memorabilia since I was a child.  I've also always loved to draw and paint and and do crafty-type things.  When I was introduced to the "new style" of scrapbooking I was instantly hooked!  Being able to combine my memories with self-expression and creativity was the perfect fit.  I made my first official scrapbook in 2004 and I've never looked back. I'm so excited to be guest designing for the month of October!

She just amazes me!!!!  :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) From her use of BRIGHT colors and her free hand title work and embellies......and I was LUCKY enough to convince her to make a hand made title for me for one of my LO's when we were together in June!!! Thanks Michelle sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo MUCH for joining us this month!!!!!!! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

And NOW for our NEXT CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!!!  :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)These are a FEW of MY FAVORITE SEASONS!!!!!!!!!!! *sigh* I think the reason I did this one during the month of October is because I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee FALL sooooooooooooooooo MUCH!!!!!! Living in Arizona....we don't have a Fall Season....and I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee to see peoples photos of their towns with the Fall colors!!! *GORGEOUS!!!!* :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

And before we go to our NEXT challenge….I want to announce our Guest Designer for this CHALLENGE!!!! The AMAZING PETRA!!!!! :):):):):):):):):):):) I have been following her work for almost TWO YEARS now …. And this GIRL is sooooooooooooooooooooo TALENTED…..I can not even tell U how much my JAW just DROPS when I see her WORK! :):):):):):):):):):):):):) WOW!!! Sooooooooooooooo thank U to Petra for being our Guest Designer this time…..I soooooooooooooooo appreciate it!!! Here is a little info about her:

My name is Petra Coolen. I am 44 years old and live in a small village in the Netherlands with my partner, daughter, dog and rabbit.
I mostly scrap about them and myself offcourse ;)

Early 2004 I started scrapbooking and never stopped since.
Some of my layouts have been published in a Dutch scrapbookmagazine.
I always said I wouldn´t start a weblog but look at my now: Petra's Blog!!!!

My style is freestyle (I like to mix things up) but always in a sort of orderly way. I like humorous layouts! For example a silly photo/blur photo, a funny quote, the use of non-scrapbooking material or using the standard material in a different way. I hope my layout inspires you to join this challenge. The winner will receive a “happy mail” from me which includes some cool Dutch scrap goodies!

(Did U see that LAST PART???? Petra looks like she will be giving away a PRIZE TOO!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK!!!)
