Meet the New ScrapHappy Pensacola Design Team

Hello I'm Jayne and I'm the new Design Team Coordinator for Scraphappy Pensacola! We're excited about our new team. You'll see posts from everyone over the next couple of weeks introducing themselves, beginning with me. First, I want to welcome all of the girls and let you know who they are! They are from all over the Florida Panhandle, L.A. (lower Alabama)and even OHIO! Please welcome our Florida girls, Christina Hay, Linda Price, Vicki Kanis, Colleen Chambers, and Nikki Murphy! Our Alabama girls are Cori Peck and Ashley Horton and from way up north, in Ohio is Tammy Johnson. We're excited to have all these creative women as a part of Scraphappy Pensacola!

As I said, I'm Jayne, and since I'm kicking off these introductions, let me tell you a bit about myself. I've been married to the best man in the world for almost 25 years (October makes 25). He has been my biggest supporter in all of the things I do.

Our oldest, Daniel, whose wedding to Felicia is pictured in the next layout. They had a romantic beach wedding! Felicia is a very talented scrapper in her own right!

Kevin is our middle son. He's a student at FSU and hopes to someday teach and coach. He is now engaged to Erica, an elementary school teacher and we're planning a wedding Sept 2012. I caught them kissing on the pier during a recent visit with them.

Last but not least is Patrick. He's done a great job all of his life keeping up with his brothers and their shenanigans, but recently surpassed them in the contest to make me an Omi! (grandma) Patrick and Amber blessed us with Amalia Rose in June, the day after her daddy's birthday. You know she will be the subject of many layouts after all these years of scrapping boys!

and just because she's the grandbaby, here's another page


So that's my family, here's a bit more about me. I'm a eclectic scrapper, I love incorporating all kinds of things in my layouts. I love heritage pages and have been blessed with many old family photos to play with. My favorite scrappers are Tammy Tutterow, Stephanie Howell, and Tim Holtz, to name a few. I prefer the Silhouette over the Cricut, I love red rubber stamps over acrylic, and vintage over whimsy.
I love, love, love old things, real wood furniture, Who Wants to be A Millionaire, Green Bay Packer Football, genealogy and travel. My friends joke that I am the most on the go person they know. I'm also a Brave Girl and am excited to return to Brave Girl Camp in October as staff. Melody Ross and her crew have done a phenomenal job changing lives through art.
I think that's enough about me. If I've forgotten anything, just ask!
Come back in a few days to meet Nikki Murphy!

"Quinn-tessential" Alphabet stamps...from Lawn Fawn!

Hey Scraphappy Peeps!! Today I am sharing with you one of our new sets of acrylic stamps from Lawn Fawn, Quinns Alphabet! Letters A-Z, all caps, plus an exclamation point! Each letter is just at, or under, an inch, and is very versatile! On my layout "Potty Time", I stamped each letter then cut them out. With the "School Time" tag, I did something a little different but SO easy...I inked up the entire set (still attached to the plastic sheet it comes on) with Embossing Ink, and I lightly pressed my patterned paper onto the inked stamps. After some gentle pressure, I pulled the paper off the stamps. Next, I used clear embossing powder, heat set, then die cut after it was cooled. I love the way it looks, and it is such an easy way to make a quick background!

"Page Kit Contest" Winners!

Hello Ladies!!
As you may know, we once again had our "Page Kit Contest".
Page kits are $5; they include two 12x12 pieces of paper and lots of fun embellies!
When entering the contest, you can create 3 mini projects (cards, tags, books, etc.), a 1pg layout, or a 2pg layout. You don't have to use everything in the kit, and you are able to add whatever you'd like from your own stash! Pretty easy right??

We asked a group of ladies that come in monthly to vote on the entries. None of them knew whose belonged to who!

First place goes to Rita Zengotita! She made a mini book and 2 cards! She will be receiving a $25 gift certificate to Scraphappy!

Runner-up and winner of our $15 gift certificate goes to Bibi Barberi! She made a 1pg layout!
