When you started digi-scrapping: About 6 years ago now. My oldest was about 4 months old.

Fave LB kit: Smile, Sunshine. LOVE the colors

Fave non-LB designer: Oh gosh.I 'm addicted to so many awesome designers. Out of the people I'm not on a CT for, I'd have to say Captivated Visions.

Who else do you CT for: Darcy Baldwin, Fee Jardine, Heather Roselli, Kristin Cronin-Barrow, Lauren Grier, Meghan Mullens, Penny Springmann, Traci Reed, Zoe Pearn, Laura Banasiak, Queen of Hearts, Cluster Queen Creations, Litabells Designs and Amanda Heimann

Random fact or tidbit about yourself: Hmm, I don't know that anything that comes out of my mouth isn't random LOL I am adopted. I have 3 siblings and 2 out of the 3 are also adopted.

I'll add a little random for Laura, she and I took our kids on a playdate together for the first time about a year and a half ago...and now we try to meet up about once a month. Here's an awesome pic of the two of us, along with the kids, at Aidan's 4th birthday party :)



Do you love it? ;) On to the awesome pages Laura's made for me while on my team:

Name: Melissa

Age: 34

Location: Texas Gulf Coast (near Houston)

When you started digi-scrapping: May 2009

How long you've been on the team: 2 months

Fave LB kit: Wow, that is hard, right now it is Just Whip It

Fave non-LB designer: Not counting anyone I CT for, because I can't play favorites between them, my favorite non-LB designer would have to be Kristin Cronin-Barrow

Who else do you CT for: I am the lead CTM for Captivated Visions, I also create for Flergs, Eva Kipler, Erica Zane, geniaBeana, Boutique Cute Doll, and I freelance for Nikki Epperson

Random fact or tidbit about yourself: Man I suck at these...is that random enough? No? Ok....how about I have a slight obsession with water photos. Sprinklers, hoses, pools, rivers, lakes, creeks, ditches, beaches, it doesn't matter...if it is water I want to take at least 100 photos. Disturbed yet?

Age: 36 years old

Location: Austin, TX

When you started digi-scrapping: lets see....I believe I've been digi scrapping for over 7 years now.

How long you've been on the team: Um...I honestly can't remember. I think at least 6 months but could be longer.

Fave LB kit: 8 bit world - This kit just makes me happy. I always loved Mario brothers when I was growing up and now my 2 boys are really hooked on Super Mario Bros.

Fave non-LB designer: Its really hard to chose who my favorite non-LB designer is. I already CT for some pretty awesome ladies but if I had to chose it would be Meg Mullens and Traci Reed. They definitely get the majority of my moola.

Who else do you CT for: Heather Roselli, Tracey Howard, and Jennifer Fox

Random fact or tidbit about yourself: Laura and I have known each other online for over 4.5 ish years now. We met when we were both pregnant with our 4 year olds. I remember when Laura started out making her siggies for peeps in the different forums. I feel like such a proud mama to see how awesome a designer she has become! Rock on LB!

Random fact or tidbit about yourself: I like to add "-irrific" to random words. Ex. Laura is a fab-irrific designer. :)

Holla! Since Jenn is a freelancer (ahem ;) ), I was only able to find one layout to show you ;) I think we need to remedy this, Jenn! ;)
