Hi! I am Linda Cummings, a retired educator, wife of 32 years, and mother to a 30 year-old son. I began my adventure in paper crafting in 1988 when I discovered scrapbooking. Previously I had been tole-painting, cross-stitching, and designing/sewing clothes for myself and others. In 2008 I re-discovered stamping, and with the acquisition of Copic markers, I rekindled my childhood love for coloring.
I am excited to be the February Guest Designer for Scrap Our Stash. I want to thank Design Team member, Missy, for introducing me to this creative group.
Here's to February....a month of birthdays (mine and my husband's), our anniversary, Valentine's Day, and 'Scrapping Our Stash'. February is always fun at our house....hope it is fun at yours!

Hi, my name is Sue and I live with my husband and two cats in southeastern Michigan. I'm a piano teacher with a home studio, but when I'm not at the piano I love to be in my craft room. I started scrapping in 1999 when we returned from a trip to Israel and Egypt with so many wonderful photos that I knew needed a special home. That was my first album and I've been scrapping strong ever since. I also enjoy reading, knitting, beating my husband at Scrabble (okay, sometimes he wins) and watching NCIS.
Thanks for this great opportunity!
Sue

Guest Design Team Member - Rachel
Rachel was chosen to be a Guest Design Team Member for February as a result of her December Challenge entry: Celebrate the Season.
Rachel lives in Northern MN. Her first intro to paper crafting was Quilling, and she taught classes at a local Stamping store. The owner of the store offered her a job one day when one of her existing employees announced she was leaving to be a stay-at-home gramma!
From there, Rachel was introduced to stamping and the ENORMOUS world of papercrafts that she had been completely unaware of until that point! She was fortunate enough to work with some VERY talented ladies who showed her the ropes and who still serve as inspiration for her. She is also a CTMH Consultant, and tries to spend time every single day working on her papercrafts. She works from her home, and her office is the same room as her scraproom, so that's not very hard. The hard part is waiting until she is off the clock before she starts to play!
We are super excited to have Rachel as a part of our Design Team for February and can't wait to see what she will contribute.
Now, it's your turn. Submit your entry to the January Challenge - and you could be chosen to be a part of our March Guest Design Team. See all the details below. Hurry, time is runnig out!
