WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

why are mondays ALWAYS cloudy? LOL

First I would like to introduce 2 new SCRAPPING BELLA BABES to our team!  You will just LOVE their work and their sweet cute adorable personalities!

First I would like to introduce PIRADEE TALVANNA.. HOW CUTE IS SHE? *ahem* is she telling me to BE QUIET? LOL

here’s a little bit about her

“Hi everyone, It’s Piradee here from Bangkok, Thailand although I am currently living in Singapore with my husband.  I’ve been scrapbooking for about a year and a half now, ever since both of us relocated to Singapore for work, where I discovered this hobby.  I remember walking in the mall here one day and came across this adorable store filled with all these wonderful paper crafting materials and gorgeous work that various people had done.  Little did I know then that I would become addicted to my new found hobby- SCRAPBOOKING!

Since I started scrapbooking, I have been very fortunate and honored to be part of the design teams for American Crafts, Collage Press and Made with Love (LSS and you can always visit me on my blog at www.piradee.blogspot.com.  A special thanks to Emily for this wonderful honor on being a guest designer here.” —

Guest designer? LOL.. we will try to change that.. oui oui?

Here’s a sample of her work using

how cute is this layout?  she used our definition blocks MEMORY definition block, HAPPINESS definition block, TOGETHER definition block, MEMORY definition block.. love it!

Now let’s introduce JILL SPROTT! How cute is she?

here’s a little bit about Jill:

“Hi! my name is Jill Sprott.  I live on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, with my husband Rob and my daughter Zoe.  By day, I am an English teacher, which means that when I’m not playing with paper, the chances are good that I’m grading papers.  My family is my biggest inspiration, and I want my scrapbooks to reflect the love and laughter that is so much a part of our lives.  I want my pages to tell a story, but I also want them to convey emotion- and I want them to reflect me, whoever and however I was in the moment that the page was created.

I officially became a scrapbooking junkie about seven years ago, back in the days of shaped scissors and sticker sneezes.  I started scrapbooking out of curiosity, and although it took me a long time to shake off the fear of “messing up”, I kept scrapbooking because that curiosity never quite went away.  I’m always looking forward to the next page or the next project– I never quite know where my love of paper, pics and storytelling will take me.  Rober Frost claimed that poetry is “a way of remembering that which it would impoverish us to forget,” and I feel exactly the same way about scrapbooking.”

How wonderful is that?

here’s a sample of Jill’s work.  She used our whowhatwherewhenhow stamp.  How clever!

So please welcome these new sistahs to da HOOD!!

Ok now for some winnahs!
