Hello from sunny Southern California. My name is Shemaine, and I am a work at home mom to two wonderful kids. I'm lucky to be married to a great guy who gets my wicked obsession for creating with paper and doesn't mind me leaving a trail of scraps all over our home.

I am so thrilled to be Guest Designing this month! A few things you might not know about me,  I love Good & Plenty candy, walks along the strand in Manhattan Beach on Sundays with my family and I’m a crime show junkie to boot!  If my days of creating with paper and glue forever were to fade, I can always become a profiler with all the knowledge I have gained from my obsessive watching.  Music is a must in my life, nothing inspires me more...well maybe Pinterest is a close second.  I've been so blessed with exciting design team and teaching opportunities with Anna Griffin and We R Memory Keepers.
I love teaching paper crafting classes and teach card making classes monthly at my public library. One of the highlights of my summer has been teaching for a 3rd year at the Great American Scrapbook convention in Arlington Texas. Life is good.

For Card #1

I thought it would be fun to make twine bows for the smarties and I used watercolors to color each one in. Then I cut them out and popped them with foam squares from Therm-o-Web.

Card #2

I kept it simple with a one layer card. I colored the images in with Copic markers and added some twine from The Twinery.

Card #3

I loved the pencil image. Using a notebook page die from We R Memory Keepers, I colored and cut out the pencil image and adhered it with foam squares from Therm-o-web. Then I added a cute clip brad from Eyelet Outlet.
