Guest Designers

We have received a lot of feedback from everyone regarding our guest designer feature. We have listened. We decided that we will continue to feature scrapbookers like you on our blog. The purpose of this is to give deserving scrapbookers a chance to show off their work to the rest of the world.

I do want to reiterate that Making Memories does not affiliate, compensate or sponsor the guest designers that are featured on the blog. We are simply using our blog as a forum to feature scrapbookers and their work.

If you want the chance to shine on our blog, leave a comment with a link to your blog so we can see your work.

Thank you to everyone for all the support that you give us. We sincerely appreciate you!!!

..........................................

As a bonus for today, here is a great project using Making Memories 5th Avenue program. We used trims and a grommet to accent this page. To do this, flatten the back of the grommet and thread your ribbon through. We tied the lose end by tying a bow.

Check out our idea gallery for more ideas.

WOW! that is a stunning layout....I love it
I am so glad that you decided to continue with the guest designer highlight....
I love to highlight scrapbook/ cardmaking artists too.... You can see a new artist every Saturday! Intermixed with their highlights are my creations, too. my blog: http://tqmnurse.blogspot.com or my gallery http://tqmnurse1.blogspot.com
Thank you for all that you do to inspire budding artists!

Good on you for continuing with the guest designers. I love your products, I just haven't had access to alot of them yet and therefore only had bits and pieces of your products appear on my layouts. I hope to rectify that though - your new Noteworthy line is definitely on my "Must by" list. I have a blog at www.kerrynlawson.blogspot.com where I have my current layouts. I look forward to seeing your future guest designers. :)

[hannie]

yay! why not? I would love to share about what I've done for my scrapbook and get comments from you all. I'm still learning, creative at times and sometimes just lost it.
my site: The Daily - http://fonmee.blogspot.com
this is where I'm putting all my pages.

[Nanie]

I don't usually write but I come everyday to read your blog. I'm happy you decided to continue to show us the work of guest designers. We can discover talented scrapbookers we may don't know yet !

Guest designer is a great opportunity for us to share our work! Thank you for continuing. We work so hard to preserve memories, why not share. If we can inspire someone else OR get some needed inspiration, then all the better.

I love MM and wish I had more access to your products locally!! It's a hour drive to the nearest store that carries more than a couple sheets of your product so I stock up when I can! I would love a chance to be featured - I don't have many layouts posted but I'm working on getting a few more on my blog:

[Natalie_WI]

I always love love love the ideas that I get on this website! I have to share with everyone...I did sonething "Noteworthy" yesterday. Johnny Depp was here in my little town filming a movie...I got to see him...ok it was through binoculars and 300 feet away...but I still saw him!! I got some great pictures today at the site of my 3 year old where they were shooting!! What a blast...nothing exciting ever happens in this small town.
For you Johnny Depp fans - It is a '30s based movie about John Dillinger. And he LOOKED great in his Jute Suit!

[Tona]

Another great use of a grommet. Beautiful page.

[Dena]

I too love all the features of this blog and am very grateful and give great gratitude to MM for continuing to feature scrapbookers and paper artists and their creative works of art. Making Memories has the loveliest products...I love the new 2008 Spring release of the {Noteworthy} collection which I have featured on this vintage/shabby wall hanging I created here:

[Lisa Jamerson]

I think that is a great idea. It is not your responsibility to know everyones past. It is about scrapbooking and sharing our passion for art not criticizing others. Thanks.

[karen]

this is very generous of you and that's a beautiful layout.

I think that it is great the a company like yours is publishing works from people that aspire to to be on design teams and have their work published.

I am 6 months young to scrapbooking and have just started to explore the world of different papers, embellishments etc etc after recently being invited join the design team for one of my local scrapbooking outlets.

Love your stuff!! keep up the good work!!

So glad that you are continuing with the Guest DT. It's always so nice to discover new talent. I love the new MM lines/products, especially the journaling notebooks, those are so pretty! keep them coming!!! I also love the Animal Cracker line, I'm expecting a little one in August and I can't wait to find out the sex of the baby so I can purchase either one of the lines. LOL!!!
