NEW DT Member: Introducing JJ



My name is JJ Sobey.  I live in Montreal with my husband, two kids and three cats. I speak two languages.  I am an unabashed geek and a coffee fanatic. I have been scrapping for about 8 years, and although my kids are the main subjects of my work, I've started to chronicle a bit more about myself as well.  My scrapbook style is a little schizophrenic because I like to dabble in different styles but something that is consistent is that I love use embellishments and layers.

You can see more of JJ's creations HERE.

NEW DT Member: Introducing Erin




My name is Erin Morehouse from Quebec, Canada. I need to scrap layouts of myself partially to keep a record for my 4 boys to look back on one day, but mostly to use up all the girly things I never get to use on pages for them. That being said, I firmly believe one can never have too many robots, monsters, dinosaurs or googley eyes in their stash...

You can see more of Erin's beautiful creations HERE.
