Shabby Tag Album for Grandma by Melissa Phillips

Melissa Notes: I created this with my mom in mind and have made one tag for each grandchild. We will all be together this Christmas and I plan on having each of the grandchildren or their parents write a special note to Grandma on the back of each of these tags. A picture can also be added very easily. She can then keep them to remember Christmas 2008, or simply use them as ornaments in the coming years with very special memories attached.

Welcome Julie Masse

Welcome Julie Masse as our November Guest Designer! Make sure to welcome Julie by leaving comment on this thread....she picked out some Beautiful Holiday products as her Favorite Things from the store for one lucky person to win!

I live in Maine and am a SAHM of 4 beautiful children, Emma (6), Anna (almost 5), Ethan (3), and Aaron (18 months). My husband Jeff is a chemist in a small laboratory in New Hampshire. We live in a pretty rural community but I love our old, drafty farmhouse! Currently, we have a couple chickens, a dog, a cat and a fish, but we've also been known to have goats, pigs, and pheasants.

While I have always loved to do crafty things, sewing, smocking, scrapbooking, etc., I began stamping seriously as a hobby about the time our first daughter was born. I became a SU! demo shortly after that and started a blog last year. Since then, I have discovered a whole wonderful world of stamping/crafting goodness!! There are so many wonderful companies and super talented stampers out there that I have been privileged to know! I love to visit other paper crafting blogs and get lots of inspiration from them!

My style I think is pretty classic clean and simple, although I love to experiment with different styles and techniques! I am currently on 3 design teams, Paper Pretties, Kitchen Sink Stamps and Say It With Letters and my work has been published in Paper Crafts magazine and will be in Cards magazine in March 2009.

I have loved visiting Emma's Paperie from the moment I found it! I am constantly amazed at the beautiful work of the design team and just love filling up my cart with the latest paper crafting goodies - I can always find something!! :) I am so thrilled to be working with Emma's this month, thank you Cindy for this fun opportunity!!

Here's a peek into Julie's space and some great organizational ideas:

November Color Challenge

We all have pumpkin pie, casseroles and oven baked turkey on the mind this month so the color Butternut makes me want to jump right in the kitchen and start baking. It was a hard color for the girls to use, but just look what they did with it....beautiful projects as always!!

We would also like to Welcome Julie Masse as our November Guest Designer! Check back tomorrow evening at 8PM to meet and greet Julie for a chance to win her favorite things!
