S:CY July 2010 Guest Designer Janis Medina

This morning I Have the wonderful pleasure of introducing our July Guest Designer: Janis Medina!

Janis is a member of the Sketches: Creatively Yours "Hall of Fame", having served on the DT in the past, beautifying our site by interpreting S:CY Sketches with her colourful, richly detailed layouts and cards. Such a pleasure to have her back!

Janis is a busy Mom and Scrapbooker. She has 2 sons and currently serves on Design Teams for Bella Blvd, Buzz and Bloom, Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker, Upsy Daisy Designs, All About Me, Journaling Junkie and Scrap That!

This busy gal also writes for Scrapstreet.com magazine.

Janis kindly sent me her mini-bio to share with you all today...

Bio:

"I’m Janis, a scrapbooker from the Philippines. I am married to a very supportive husband JE and a mother to Nat (5yo) and Phil (3yo). I started scrapbooking April 2008 and have happily never looked back since. Among friends, I’m "Ms. Bold and Bright" for a play on colors always stands out on my pages. I am so blessed to be on the design teams of several manufacturers, to be published on both printed and online magazines, to have gained friends from all over the world, to have found so much happiness in this hobby now turned way of life."

Here is Janis' BLOG and here is her Gallery.

Welcome Janis, so glad you're here with us at S:CY this month!

Here is a favourite layout Janis wanted to share with you. It was created with the Scrap That! July Kit.

"Love"
