update on the Shop

hi there...

it's been WAY TOO long since my last post and so sorry for the neglect. the Shop has been in limbo and in the works of updates.

i am so thankful for all the years of the Shop and all the friends that have come along the way... hope you find the Shop for your scrappy needs and know that it's now a bit outdated with all the new goodies.

with the upcoming show this month, i'll be sure to keep an eye out on new fun stuff to be released. should there be anything of interest, don't hesitate to email and let me know... REMEMBER, the Shop can always try to get goodies that aren't in stock and at Shop pricing of 20%OFF!

hope everyone had a great holiday season and that 2009 be filled with memories and scrappy times :)

Hey everyone!

I'm Jennifer. Pretty sure most of you knew that already though. I've been working with Viv here at SX for quite a while now...since June-ish of '06 :) Eeek, has it REALLY been that long? lol!

I've been scrapbooking since my first daughter was just a baby, back in 2002. I quickly became addicted :) I've ALWAYS scrapped 8.5x11, since my very first page. I've done only a handful of 12x12 pages, and they were for other people, not for me. I prefer 8.5x11 for several reasons, but the main one is that it is a easier album size for my little ones to handle :)

I've been published in multiple scrapbooking magazines and scrapbook idea books. :)

I live in the beautiful state of Washington. I love it here. Growing up in Southern California, moving up here sure was a difference, but now I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love living in a little city, where all the neighbors know each other. I love being able to let my kids play outside and not having to worry about anything happening to them. And heck, if I want 'busy', Portland (OR) is less then 1/2 an hour from me!

I thought I'd share a few of my recent pages with you too:

Anyways, thank you all for reading about me! Oh, and if you want, you can check out my personal blog here: http://jenniferswartz.blogspot.com/. Nothing special, but everything things that happen in my life. lol :)

Hello!!! An Introduction!

Hello Everyone!!! My name is Rebecca, and I am so pleased and honored to be on the ScrappersXchange Design Team! I have been a subscriber about a year now and absolutely LOVE Vivien's kits, and know that you all will too. Her kits are the perfect culmination of style and creativity and are budget conscious as well.

A bit about me. I am a Stay at home, homeschooling mom of 5 so far. I love my family, and love to record our memories. I occasionally freelance write in the homeschool community as the opportunity arises. I scrap for that reason but also because i'm an artistic person and crave that creative outlet. My other hobbies include reading, sewing, singing, acting, and other creative endeavors. I also strangely enjoy organizing my scrap area.

I am working on a number of albums of my own right now. I have a series of family albums, which is our chronologically organized activities. I also have a heritage album, which contains both older and newer family treasures. I have a wedding/marriage album, a month in review album series with 2 years so far, and my Book of me. Each of my children has their own series of albums as well that i constantly work on, which is why you might see several layouts of mine that look similar. Scrapping is my passion, and i strive to continually improve my artistic skills as well as my interpersonal, communicative and writing skills.

I have served on other design teams, both term ones and guest designing. And i currently also design for Lucy Chesna's challenge blog So Tell Me Your Story

I'm thrilled to be on the team and look forward to working with Vivien's awesome kits and hopefully inspiring you all with challenges and sketches. Let's SCRAP!!!
