Tessa Ann Watte

Hi there! I am thrilled to be a part of the team this month!

My name is Tessa Ann Watté. I live in beautiful Bend, Oregon with my sweet husband, Steven of 8 years. Starting our family is the next chapter in our lives, so for now we have 2 fur babies, Mozart and Annie. They are great scrapping company. Ha!

I was introduced to scrapbooking 3 years ago, after I received a fun basket of brightly colored papers and stickers as a birthday present. That was it. I was immediately in love. Since that day this fun hobby has quickly become my personal outlet to express myself in a creative way and also preserve memories at the same time. I have been a part of Tinkering Ink, Junkitz, Piggy Tales and FiberScraps Design Teams, but recently have made the choice to create for myself again. Throughout my scrapping days, I have been published in several magazines which included writing articles and most recently my layout was featured on the cover of the Spring 08 issue of Scrap booking & Beyond Magazine.

Over the last 2 years, I've started teaching classes locally in Bend, and this past year had the opportunity of traveling to teach a workshop at Scrapbook Vacation Clubs in Daytona Beach Florida. I also enjoy creating handmade buttons, frames and flower embellishments for my Etsy shop, Tessa Ann Originals. This new venue has kept me so busy, but I am loving it!

Hello! I'm Michelle Lanning!

Hi there! My name is Michelle Lanning & I am a 31 year old obsessed scrapbooker (did I just admit that?). I live in sunny California with my awesome hubby Mike and beautiful (if I do say so myself) daughter Alyson. It is no surprise that these 2 are my favorite subjects to scrap! When I am not being a mommy, wife, or scrapbooker I am a first grade teacher! Sometimes the days are long and the best way for me to unwind is to scrap (of course!). I am known to stay up until the wee hours scrapping! I don't think I have a specific style - it is just ME -- fun and usually using plenty of embellishments (hehe). I am thrilled to have been chosen as a part of the Noel Mignon design team and am looking forward to the next 6 months!

Hey Ya'll I am Greta

Hey Ya'll. I am Greta Adams and I am 31 years old from deep down in the south. I live in Biloxi, Mississippi with my hotty hubster and 2 fabulous kids, Mason (6) and Melana (4). I have been scrapping about 8 or 9 years now, once i got over "collecting" supplies for a year or so, and i am totally addicted. I have a tendancy to scrap more of the everyday than birthday's christmas , etc... {GASP!} i know but i find it hard to scrap those for some odd reason. :)

Some of my other addictions are M-A-C makeup (OY!) , trash t.v. ( i love reality shows), shoes, purses, 80's hairbands, and anything that is skully!

You can read more about me and my daily ramblings at It's a Me-Ocracy & I'm the President. if you pop over please say hi. i love to find new blog buddies.

Thank you Noel for choosing me to be apart of your fabu team and this is going to be a great 6 months.. WOOT WOOT!!

Hello! I'm Jennifer French

Hello! I'm Jennifer French and I am so thrilled to be a Guest Designer for Noel this July. I have been following her site and challenges forever it seems. I am always up for a challenge and look forward to what she has to offer. I have been completely addicted to scrapping for a couple years now...I think my addiction gets worse with time, too. he he.
A little about me...I live in Southwest Michigan with my 4 year old daughter, Natalie. We also have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I graduated from Western Michigan University in April with my Elementary Education degree and Early Childhood endorsement. I am thrilled to have finally graduated and look forward to having my own classroom someday. Until that day, I will substitute in my hometown school...and the one we have all attended and graduated from for generations.
I will scrap just about everything, although my daughter is the subject of most of my layouts. I enjoy scrapping about our fun times together, nature, our pets, family, basically anything. I have been known to pull over and take a picture because I have a perfect scrapbook layout in mind. I love the creative outlet scrapbooking allows me and the documentation, too.
Again, I am thrilled to be the July Guest Designer!! Thanks, Noel!

Hello! I'm Michele Kovack!

I am so excited to be a part of Noel's amazing DT!!! I have loved her products for so long! I am currently a 5th grade teacher. I am am married to my high school sweetheart for the past 15 years, and amazingly we still like each other! I have two children. My daughter is 13 and my son is 11. I started scrapbooking about 13 years ago when my daughter was born. It was a way to deal with my emotions at the time. (My daughter is disabled) It became a creative release for me.....and it just evolved from there! I try to scrap about the events of the year, but also about "real life." Some of it not pretty! LOL! I also started making cards a couple of years ago. I figured I had all the "stuff" anyway, so why not? As far as my style goes? I am not sure anyone has clearly defined it! I do have a tendency to love anything vintage! Lots of bling, lace, etc. I am lucky enough to have a supportive husband who supports my habit completely! I am looking forward to working with all of these talented ladies here! Thanks so much Noel for this amazing opportunity!! If you would like to visit me and all of my creations, you can find me at my Blog: Thoughts of a Cardmaking Scrapbooker!

Hey Y'all, I'm Virginia!

My name is Virginia Tillery, and I am so very excited to be the Guest Designer for June! :) I've watched my friends Jana & Adrienne showcase these gorgeous kits on their blogs, and have been drooling over them for months. I have been playing with my kit all week and have been just loving the variety of cool things Noel includes in these gorgeous kits. Seriously cool, y'all!

I live in an 80 year old house in Leeds, AL (right outside of Birmingham), with my sweet husband and three kiddos: Emerson (3), Atticus (2), and Sabriel (5 months). Although I daydream about sitting on my screened in front porch and sipping lemonade while I scrap, reality sets in and I chase around my silly kids and try to get the occasional good picture of them. ;)

My style has been called "vintage funk" or "edgy feminine"- whatever it is, it includes lots of layering, shabby chic, paint & colored pencils, and contrasted colors. I pretty much scrapbook every single night, and I love the way it helps me step back from life and see the big picture (no pun intended, I swear!).

I regularly post at my blog, BlackFlipFlops Designs.

Hi! I'm Simone

Hi Everybody!
I am so excited to be the Guest Designer for May!
I live in Chicago, the land of crazy weather, one day it's 75 here the next day it is snowing. I work full-time as an office slave and babysit part-time, so I am always busy. I have a huge family, a kid and a man who allow me to fire away with my camera as much as I want, so that there is always something to scrap. I love making almost everything, but seem to be best at making a mess.
I would say I am a pretty clean scrapper as far as style goes and probably because I hate most messy materials such as glitter and paint.
I blab a ton over at my blog, Daily Dose of Spazz and also run the ScrapYourCRAP blog with my buddy, Greta. I am known as spazzgirl on all the messageboards, communities, facebook, etc...so if you want to "find" me and be friends, that's my name!
A huge thanks to my buddy Noel, who is taking a huge chance on me this month, I am honored to be chosen.
