Around here, we LOVE making new friends... and when they're incredibly inspiring, well, that's even better!
Today, we are SO thrilled to introduce you to Ginger Williams, our Guest Design Team Member for the month of October.
Ginger has such a gorgeous, Clean & Simple style and our design team members had so much fun lifting some of her fabulous layouts.
The best part is, we sent Ginger both our Once Upon a Halloween & Game On Collections, and the projects she sent back are UBER-awesome...and we think you'll agree.
Ginger says: My scrabooking style is linear and layered. I adore texture, small details, and bright colors. Small geometric or striped patterns are my favorite paper designs. I love straight lines and my circle cutters and circle punches, and die cut machines get a lot of work too! I also love bold titles, and any paper in my favorite color--orange! I love to make home decor with my scrapbook supplies and I also make cards, gift items, and design sketches.
Here's a peek at a few of the projects Ginger created for us:
Love the natural look and feel of this layout...just perfect timing with Halloween almost here!
Ginger also created these gorgeous Halloween cards:
Anabelle O'Malley had just gotten a fresh box of Best Friends, so her Ginger-lift celebrates a special friendship memory and also shows off our newest collection:
Keeping in line with our Celebration of Friendship, we asked Anabelle 5 Questions on the topic, and this is what she had to say:
Do you make friends easily?
ANABELLE: I tend to make friends easily as I am a very social person. I love being around people. My husband often says I'd talk to a wall if I had to. Lol.
What are the most important traits a friend should have?
ANABELLE: The most important traits of a friend, to me, are that they are loyal, a good listener and are someone that you can laugh with.
What is the most challenging thing about friendship?
ANABELLE: As an adult, I find the most challenging thing about friendships is finding time for 'girl time'. With work and kid schedules its so hard to catch up. Thank goodness for texting and Facebook. Even quick hellos this way are better than nothing!!
Do you have a favorite friendship quote?
ANABELLE: My favorite friendship quote comes from Winnie the Pooh via A.A. Milne - "If you live to be a hundred, I want to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you. "
If you could be girlfriends with anyone in the world (living or dead) who would it be?
ANABELLE: There are lots of people I'd love to be friends with but the person who first comes to mind is Ina Garten (the Barefoot Contessa from the food network). I'd love to hang out and cook with her in her AMAZING barn/kitchen. Then we'd sit outside in her garden in the Hamptons and have a wonderful meal with all of our other friends
There is MUCh more inspiration waiting for you over on Ginger's Guest Designer Thread...get to know our new friend a whole lot better and ooh and ahh over the layouts and cards she and our designers have created.
And feel free to start shopping Best Friends over on our website today!
Wonderful inspiration!
