I work with Michelle on Scrapping the Music….and was lucky enough to meet her in June of this year….here is a photo of when we met!!!!!!!! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

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!!!!!!! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
