Meet Jennifer Priest

If you are from So. Cal. chances are you already know our guest designer for the Fall. It is none other than the super talented Ms. Jennifer Priest! Jennifer teaches all over So. Cal. She is also on the design team for many clubs and companies. I am honored to have her working with us for the next three months. Visit her on her blog: Hydrangea Hippo

My scrapbooking adventure began in 1998 when I was pregnant with my first child. Time and life had gotten in the way of my parents filling out my baby book … next thing they knew, I was 18 and leaving home for the Army! I wanted to make sure my daughter had a completed baby book so I started scrapbooking with a mail order kit of pre-printed pages with journaling prompts, cutesy stickers, and instructions on where to place the pictures. Looking back, I’m amazed and excited about how far this hobby has come!

My style is ever-changing because I enjoy trying new techniques and products whenever I discover them. I find inspiration from many places; craft fairs are one of my favorite places to get layout and color ideas. I try to push the envelope with myself creatively and love a challenge!

In 2003, I branched out from just scrapping with my friends and started teaching classes at crops, local scrapbook stores, and expos. I’ve been involved in all things scrappy ever since! I currently serve on several design teams and am the Creative Director for Scrapbook Royalty, a nonprofit that benefits charitable causes through crafting. I’m also an endorsed educator for Prima, Tattered Angels, Copic Markers, Fiskars, and Bind It All.

And this one is from Em:



Just a note ... if you use Kokuyo adhesive, I have heard through the grapevine that they will no longer be making adhesive! I can't believe it! I really like their tape roller. So, if you use their tape, you may want to start stocking up before they disappear forever from the store shelves! I still have a few rolls available in the Miki-Mart.

Have a great week everyone!
