"Hi! It’s Lynnette reporting live from northwest
New Jersey where scrapbooking, candy making, ice hockey, figure skating and
general silliness occur on an almost regular basis in our home. I’m a busy stay-at-home Mom of 2 great kids
(11 and 5) and married (going on 18 years) to my high school sweetheart who
works for a major candy company. It’s a
sweet life!
My love of paper and stickers
started at a young age with my scratch and sniff sticker collection and evolved
into a part-time job at a Hallmark card store in high school. I studied Elementary Education at West
Chester University, where in my free time I dabbled in rubber stamping. I used my creativity to teach young children
for 7 years, always trying to develop innovative ways to make learning
fun. Thinking back, the instructional
bulletin boards I would create in my classroom were sort of like scrapbook pages.
I became interested in
scrapbooking 11 years ago after the birth of my son, but really only became
passionate about the hobby 2 years ago when I participated in Lain Ehmann’s
Layout A Day scrapbook challenge. It was
there I “met” and was inspired by Lisa (current Master Forger) and Leslie (May
2012 guest designer) and so many other talented scrappers and started to take
my hobby to the next level. Through
Lisa, I discovered Counterfeit Kit Challenge and the art of using your own
stash to create fresh and current collections of goodness. In addition to creating layouts to document
my memories, I love the process of creating kits. The thrill of hunting for papers and supplies,
the quest for “making it work” and the chance to name and photograph my collection
in an inspired way really gets me excited.
I am thrilled to be featured as guest designer this month and look
forward to sharing my creations with you.
