Tip from Lisa: I was trying to figure out how I was going to cover the sides of the lunchbox when I realized that the handle and clasp have metal tabs on the inside. The tabs are VERY easy to bend out so you can pull those pieces off. Very quick and easy.

October Guest Designer, Sarah Mullanix

We'd like to Welcome Sarah Mullanix this month as our Guest Designer! Sarah's work was noticed in the Moxxie booth at CHA. Check out what she's picked as her Favorite Things and make sure to leave a comment for a chance to win them! Winner will be announced on October 16th.

Hello, my name is Sarah Mullanix. I am a stay @ home mom to two daughters, Becca 12yrs. and Emily 8yrs., and my brand new baby boy, Carter, only 1 month old. I've been married to my husband, Steve, for 12 years. My girls are active in many sports such as softball, swimming, volleyball, and track which keeps us all pretty busy.

I have been scrapbooking since my oldest was born 12 years ago, but I've been designing for the past 2 to 3 years now. I would totally scrap night and day if possible! I have made a ton of friends that I have met through scrapbooking, and I am just so thrilled to have a hobby that I love this much and that has brought me such wonderful friendships.
