October's Guest Designer

Today I have a little bit of exciting news to share, our October Guest Designer!

Please meet the lovely and talented lady that will be inspiring us this month:

Susan Longman
 
 

 
Here's a little bit about Susan:
 
My name is Susan Longman. I am a SAHM of 2 gorgeous kids… I have been scrapbooking for 8 years and love the craft so much. My scrapbooking style is quite minimalist in design with use of white space, and the majority of my layouts use stamping as a background effect. I am local to Launceston Tasmania and have been privileged to have been on many design teams. I currently create for Anna’s Scrapbooking Cupboard, and online store and KaiserCraft which is a large Australian owned scrapbooking and paper craft manufacturer. In addition I design and create for a chipboard company called Words or Whatever (WOW) and am a regular design team member for Australian Scrapbooking Ideas Magazine. In addition to my publications in that magazine I have also been published in Scrapbook Creations, Creating Keepsakes and Scrapbooking Memories magazine and have had the amazing compliment of having my double layout featured in the Scrapbooking Memories Masters Magazine 2 years running. My teaching experience includes classes at scrapbooking shops, large franchise and at the paper craft expo’s including Paperific in Melbourne.
 
You can see Susan's gorgeous work on her blog:  http://www.inkredibledesigns.blogspot.com/
 
I think we'll all be inspired by Susan's work with our October kit!
 
And don't forget to stop back after 9:00 am Pacific Time tomorrow for our Blog Hop!

Boy do I have a treat for you, today.  Stacey Young's first layout with our October kit!

 
 
And I'm sure you wouldn't mind seeing a few close ups of this gorgeous layout...
 
 
 
Stacey based this beautiful layout on Suepup's sketch that was included with the kit, and I'd like to thank her for creating such an amazingly gorgeous piece of art!
 
 
Thank you for stopping by, and as always, I hope Stacey's work has inspired you to Create Something Beautiful Today.

It's Here!

One of my favorite days of the month is here, it's Kit Reveal!

This month, I thought I'd add a splash of color to the kit, with some Prima Zephyr and Glitz Design Cashmere Dame.  And of course, they're matched up with some softer pastels, in Webster's Pages Park Drive and My Mind's Eye's The Sweetest Thing...

Rather than go on and on about it, I'll just get right to the picture...our Dreams of You kit...

 
 
Stop by our website to see a list of everything in the kit, as well as the gorgeous add ons we have this month.
And if you'd like a chance to WIN this kit, follow us on
Follow Me on Pinterest  and just follow the instructions on our Scraps of Elegance Pin To Win! Board!
 
What would Kit Reveal Day be without another fabulous sketch by Suepup?
 
 
 
I love seeing how the ladies on our Design Team interpret the sketch each month, and I'm guessing you don't mind it too much, either, so here are a few of them..
 
Renea Harrison:
 
 
Lisa Novogrodski:
 
 
 
Jennifer Snyder:
 
 
Escape Kitty:
 
 
Well, I hope you've enjoyed seeing the beautiful work by our Design Team, and that you Create Something Beautiful Today...
