and of COURSE some CANDEEE to welcome KRISTIN FAUST, one of our BELLARIFIC SCRAPPING BABES! OMG she said YES when I attacked her!! can you believe? LOL
Just take one look at her, as a fellow curly haired sistah and you just can’t help falling in love 🙂
Here’s a little bio and then I will follow with amazing blog candy!
Kristin lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and four year old son. When she is not scrapbooking, she works full time helping children and families at a community health center. “I wear many hats in my current position and my scrapbooking skills often come in handy when preparing presentations or teaching” Kristin says.
She has been scrapbooking since 2007. “I started getting involved in scrapbooking because it was the only neutral topic that I could discuss with my boss”. Since that time, and that job, she has embraced every aspect of this hobby and continues to learn more each day.
Kristin says “I think that I fell hard for scrapbooking because I feel so strongly about documenting all of the little things that I don’t want my heart to forget. I always try to think about what I would want my family to know if I’m not here tomorrow. My family won’t care if my page was published but will care if journalins is meaningful and heartfelt.”
Kristin currently designs for Collage Press and her work has been published in Creating Keepsakes and Scrapbook Trends magazine”
Is she cute or WHAT? Thank you Kristin for saying YES!
Now to celebrate our new membah, let’s have a giveaway of my favorite new PINK PAISLEE CUPID COLLECTION!
here it is.. VALUED AT OVER $56! for you! and GUESS WHAT? if you leave some love at KRISTIN’s blog, you have an option of winning it there too! I am VERY upset at my sistahs. you are VEWY LAZY these days. I expect each and every one of you to leave a comment on this blog. say HI. I am not sure where you all are.. I know you are READING but you are not WRITING.. is it the MAFF (math) question at the end of your post that is troubling you? COME ON SISTAHS.. SHOW SOME LOVE!! and welcome KRISTIN like a TRUE SISTAH WOULD!!
So here’s the prize. How do you win? LEAVE A COMMENT! Nothing Fancy Shmancy.. just a hello and how much you still LOOOOOOVE me.. n’k? Everything coordinates and it is so YUMMY!
Also, for Scrapping Bella we will be launching new BELLA’S COORDINATED CARDSTOCK COLLECTION to match our new collections of patterned paper! We PLOMISE that these colours coordinate so beautifully and takes the guesswork out of matching! These will also be posted on STAMPING BELLA because I KNOW it would help cardmakers as well! You can find the collection pack HERE on SCRAPPING BELLA and HERE on STAMPINGBELLA.
This collection pack matches the PINK PAISLEE CUPID COLLECTION of papers. You get 3 colors and 2 sheets of each color and you receive a savings! The 6 sheet pack costs $3.99!
We will also be introducing BELLA’S BITS COORDINATED EMBELLISHMENT COLLECTIONS. These embellishments coordinate beautifully with the patterned papers collection as well!
All different brands, and all coordinating which makes it eclectic, useful and FUNALICIOUS (new word). You can find them HERE on Stamping Bella and HERE on SCRAPPINGBELLA (I feel a little schizophrenic with both sites..LOL)
The retail value of this embellishment kit is $26.99 and we will be selling it at $14.99! This will be sold in LIMITED QUANTITIES so when it’s done, it’s done!
Hope you enjoyed the eye candy, new ideas and NEW MEMBAH of da SISTAHOOD! Don’t forget to shed some LOVE! the COMMENTS close on SUNDAY NIGHT midnight and WINNAHS will be announced on MONDAY DEC. 21st!

Congrats to Kristin!! And YIPPEE for Scrapping Bella! I hope to get more scrapbooking done in the new year after da baby comes! Cause then I’ll have something other than pics of my pets to scrap! They’re getting sick of my camera! Have a great holiday EM!
Welcome Kristin. Hope you have lots of fun here.
Sorry I haven’t been leaving comments – been busy this week, but very lazy today. Minus 11 deg. C. will do that to you. Also, I have to use my fingers to work out the math & if you don’t add correctly, your math skills are disparaged by the computer programme.
Em, we love you & all your new goodies – especially if they coordinate.
Welcome Sistah Kristin! Sending you a hug from FL, but I’m a born and bred PA girl myself!
Em – you’re right! It’s not fair that you put so much love in your posts for us to visit and then we don’t always give you love back when we’re here enjoying them…will try to do better.
Love, Love, Love all of the new stuff!! Welcome Kristin!
