Our Fresh Squeezed Guest Designer is Jennie McGarvey!
Short bio: My name is Jennie McGarvey and I am a stay at home of 3 boys (10.5, 9 and 4). I've been married to my fantastic husband, Andy, for 11.5 years and we recently moved from Southern California to Southern Indiana. Since 1998 we've lived in 6 states and we are NOT a military family.
How did you get started scrapbooking? My aunt showed me a couple of pages she had made and supplies she had and I was HOOKED. I started for myself about 11 years ago with my wedding album and I've never looked back. (My aunt, on the other hand, quit scrapping shortly after!)
What is your favorite American Crafts product? I have a large arsenal of American Crafts supplies that I couldn't scrap without, much like everyone else. But, my most favorite must be my Limo Black Memory Markers. I've tried every other journaling pen out there and I like these the best. I have a healthy stash and stock up any time I see them!
I Am Part of the Story by Jennie McGarvey
I've recently become highly aware that my boys see me as part of the story and part of the action, so I'd like to have my pages somewhat reflect that.

Stylish or Quirky? by Jennie McGarvey

Happy Day Card by Jennie McGarvey
I'm a simple card maker that likes to choose elements that are cost effective yet pack a visual punch. These papers and Remarks stickers do the job perfectly with a bit of hand-stitching and vellum!

Look What I Made Display Board by Jennie McGarvey
This collection was just shouting out for something colorful and fun! I'm not a fan of artwork on the fridge and this is the perfect way to display something prominently and with enthusiasm!
