Featured Groovie Guest Designer

So a little about me. I'm Jaclyn Kline from the Philippines. My friends refer to me as Kline 'coz it's shorter (just one syllable). I'm always taken for a guy 'coz of my name though, especially if they haven't seen me yet. I started scrapping February of this year. And was a certified scrapaholic in less than a week, certified hoarder in a month. haha. I find scrapping very relaxing 'coz it's different from my line of work. I'm a software developer ad sometimes it can be very stressful so I find solace in scrapping.

Jacklyn's Groovie Layouts

'Nuf said, here's my Groovie challenge:

For this challenge I want to see any handmade or found embellishments (don't forget your archival spray) in your layout. It doesn't have to be both, you can just pick one :) Include a story of where you found or how you came up with your handmade embellishment. There's no theme, just the embellishments. Here's a few of my own to start things up:

Handmade tag
Paper piecing
Ephemera
Found embellishment
Handmade flowers
There's a RAK prize for the winner.

Have an awesome October :)

Featured Groovie Guest Designer

Hello! I’m Janis, a scrapbooker from the Philippines. I am married to a very supportive husband JE and a mother to Nat (4yo) and Phil (2yo). I started scrapbooking April 2008 and have never been able to stop. I do mostly 12x12 pages - - usually with my kids as the subject - - but I also dabble in cardmaking and altered projects from time to time.

My style can very much adapt to the papers and embellishments that I design with although a play on bold and bright colors usually stands out on my layouts (hence, the monicker Ms. Bold and Bright among friends!). I have a penchant for elaborate layouts - - I soo love putting details and textures on my pages. Clustering, layering and distressing are the usual techniques that I use although I am not afraid to experiment and try other techniques. I feel that I am still new at this craft and have a lot to learn in the process.

I am so excited and honored to be the featured Groovie Guest Designer for October. Thanks so much Edleen for the opportunity.

My challenge is to create a monochromatic layout. If you're keen, why not scrap the color that best describes you?

Please welcome...

Ola scrappers! I am Zizi aka Renoa and I come all the way from Brunei. I am excited to be invited as the Groovie Guess Designer for this month, thanks Ed for giving me this oppurtunity. Well, I just started this wonderful hobby since last April this year. My biggest support is my Huny Boo because he was the one who convinced me that scrapbooking is better than hunting clothes! Anything art or hand-made has always fascinated me. Scrapbooking has now become my creative outlet, my escape and am enjoying every bit and making great talented friends along the way. Plus, I get to document every precious moment with some gorgeous supplies on earth! I love to experiment with products and techniques. I am a paper hoarder and obviously I love to put layers of pattern papers and chipboards onto my layouts to add dimension. Mind you I am very slow scrapper and I tend to take days to complete a project but I am trying my best to finish one for every work I am assigned to so no worries!lol! My style varies but I seem to enjoy doing shabby chic look lately. As I learn along the way, I hope to inspire others and be inspired by you.

Sharmaine

I’m a stay at home Mum of 4 beautiful girls. Megan 8, Jessica 6, Elizabeth 4 and Lucy 2. Married to Dave and we live in Tasmania, Australia. Started scrapping August 2005 and haven’t looked back. Love being inspired and inspiring others. Try to follow my scrapping motto “Just do it”, which helps me as I am not crafty or art minded apart from this wonderful outlet! I love having fun with the process and hope you do to!
