Who would have guessed this?!

This is a picture of me and the fun-loving, scrap-inspiring kellicrowe. When this picture was taken I wasn't a scrapbooker. I mean, I was on the inside, but I hadn't realized it in myself or taken steps to get it out and into reality.
Leave it to this girl to get me 'fired up' about the sport. I mean hobby. I mean passion. I mean, whatever it is that scrapbooking is and has become in my life to this point. She was eggin' me on...sort of like a "private online cheerleader" to go for the CK SOY contest that I ended up doing.
So, there's a little connection there between this great scrapbook soul and me. =) I am lucky for that. And I wish I had more time and connection with her in real life, because I have a feeling that we would have lots of fun and interesting conversations together. I can only hope that maybe I will get lucky again...and we will live on the same street of gold and be neighbors for all eternity. A girl can dream, right?! =)
The real reason I'm sharing Kellicrowe with you today? To tell you that not only is she the first Scrap In Style Guest Designer, but she also designed some of the products in the first collection that will be offered at SIS TV! Talk about scrap-excitement! I find it amazing, that just a year ago at this time I was sorting through a few scrap supplies that I had, trying to create and design my first-ever layouts. Flash forward to today...I'm still trying to figure out how to design and create...but I'm now part of an amazing, talented group of scrappers who are bent on inspiring and encouraging me and everybody else who wants to join us at the site when it goes "live" on May 15th! Seriously. This is gonna be a place where you can start- if you've never scrapped before...or get a 'fresh perspective' if you're already a seasoned pro. All I'm saying is it just might be for YOU...so stay tuned to the links here...for fun, games, challenges, inspiration...and maybe a few surprises along the way. Fun, scrappy stuff. =)
