Meet Nikki Sher and Angel Bartonico

I asked two gals to guest design for me!! Meet Nikki Sher and Angel Bartonico.

Nikki Sher is so awesome! She's the manager of a fantabulous scrapbook store in Berkeley, CA called Scrapbook Territory! I love looking at all her samples around the store. I love all the cool things she did to her Punky book! The girl is awesome!!

I loved playing with the album! The mixed pages make for a really creative

and fun process. Plus it looks really cute when you're done! I can't wait to make another one.

Angel Bartonico is an amazing scrapper! I've had the opportunity to work a lot with her...maybe because she's my daughter! LOL It's funny to think that for a long time she did not want to scrap and when she finally tried it...she was pretty darn good!

Her work has been featured on QVC, Scrapbook Memories TV show, and many other places!

I loved using the albums! They were a lot of fun!

I loved the different pages because they allow for unlimited possibilities!

Punky Sprouts rocks!!!

Thanks girls for doing such a great job!! We love all the ideas that you "sprouted!"

Three's a charm!!

We have new projects for your viewing pleasure!!!

The first one is from Noel Culbertson!

Noel worked really hard to get her projects done early because she knew she was going to be busy, when her hunka burning love came home from overseas!!! Check out her BLOG!! It's pretty darn awesome!

Here's her project.

This one is from an awesome gal named Kimi Corbin-Lechner!!

She's been a friend of Punky Sprouts since it first sprouted!!

The other night she and Shelly went crazy designing projects and here's what Kim created for us.

I love all the fun Graphic 45 she used!!

This one comes from Shelly Mitchell! She says that she and Kimi had such a great time creating!

They stayed up til' 5am scrapping and being crazy. LOL

Here's one of her projects using October Afternoon.

Thanks for looking!!!!

Awesome talent in the house!!!

Shelly and I had the great pleasure of attending and teaching at the Great American Scrapbook Convention in Texas this weekend.

We had a lot of fun meeting scrappers from all over and getting to hang out, shop, scrap, and more.

I met this AWESOME gal named Rosandra Simmons. The second we spoke I knew we'd be friends!!! She has this amazing personality and is extremely talented!!!

She purchased one of our Punky Sprouts albums and decided to just go to town with it at one of the crops we attended. When she showed me what she had done, first I WOW'd over it and then I asked her if I could feature it on our blog. I was so thrilled that she said yes!!! I asked her to tell me a little bit about how it was to work with her very first Punky Sprouts album. Here's what she said.

Here's the story behind the album... I totally LOVE mixed media albums. So when I purchased the heart album I had a plan in mind for it. I am the only female in my household (even the pets are male). So I was excited to make a girly album. I carried the heart album from vendor to vendor at GASC til I found THE paper that spoke to me. Once I found the paper that inspired me (Adornit Carolee's Creations Princess Polka Dots), then the rest was finding embellishments, complimenting papers and ribbons. I completed the album in about 4 hours (most due to drying time for the Stickles, metallic paint pens, and wet adhesives).

Here's the project that she made.

Thanks Rosandra!! You are amazing!!

Please leave this gal some awesome praise!!! She rocked it!!

Hugs, Suzy West

Thanks Bethany!!
