The Kittys Kloset spotlight is shining on a very talented and good friend of mine

Ally!!!! (thecircleguru)



'Howdy! I'm Allison and I have been scrapbooking for just over 2 years. I was introduced to the industry by my sister and have been creating ever since! My pages have certainly progressed over the last two years and I love my current style.... kind of grudgey, lots of flowers and a circle or two! I live in a smalll town in South Western, Ontario, Canada, close to Chatham. I love to scrap all about my famlily; especially my son Spencer, my soon-to-be husband, Todd and my kitty cat, Peeny. I am a proud stay at home Mom and most likely won't return to work until my son is in school.... I'm so blessed to spent this time with him. I am currently a design team member of two Canadian sites; one based out of Toronto and the other based out of Montreal. I enjoy all aspects of being members of these two wonderful and inspiring scrap communities. I am a confessed Prima and Basic Grey addict and I have been known to use a few circles in my creations! I love my digital camera and it goes everywhere with me.... it's like a second child! Over 14,000 plus photos in the last year and a half.... what does that tell ya??? I am honoured to be a part of this extremely creative group of scrappers and talented scrap community.'

Kittys Kloset Spotlight Member and whats to come!

Congrats to Ian Cutler who has been chosen as this months KKSM! It is fabulous to have a male scrapbooker as part of the kloset!

"Tall (at least in my house), dark (relatively speaking in my family) and handsome (at least according to my dear wife, Lynn Anne) . A little different than the majority of scrapbookers.

I began my interest in actually scrapping over three years ago when Lynn Anne convinced me to join her for an online crop. I was a bit apprehensive about this idea. I liked to be helpful and give her some ideas with titles and some other thoughts, but this meant completing my own pages. I never considered myself artistic. I think I failed cutting in kindergarten and my fifth grade students really get a kick out of anything I try to draw on the board. After doing four pages and several challenges, I was hooked immediately. I just wanted to do more and more pages. My favorite subjects for layouts are my two beautiful children (ages 4 and 2), my wife, our furry friends, and even my class photos of my students from year to year.

I am mostly an online cropper. I love all the friends we have made online. I did have a great experience though for my birthday this year. (June 1) Lynn Anne surprised me by loading up the trunk of my car with my supplies, sent me on a wild goose chase with clues, phone calls, and text messages telling me where to go next, and sending me to my first real life crop. I had a ball.

Last year I was a guest designer at Have Your Way with Paper, I have done several reviews and I have been a featured blogger at Scrap Friends, and have recently been made a DT member at www.cropalatte.net.

I love this hobby for the same reasons as everybody else- a creative way to preserve memories for my family. But the real love in it for me, is it is an activity that I can share with my family. My love, my partner, my best friend, Lynn Anne, of course. My MIL and LA’s niece are scrappers too. (Although we do not get to see them very often.) Recently though, my son got his own scrapbook and just last week my 2 yr old daughter, (who we thought was too young) insisted on doing one too. They have helped us out with ours in the past, but being that there is basically no right or wrong when it comes to this activity they are on their way.

I am honored to be the featured member this month."

This is Ians favorite layout that he has created;

Design Team Projects!!!

The Kroppin' Kitties have been busy this month! The lovely ladies were given the peekaboo book from Zsiage and Crate paper to do any type of book of me project! The ladies out did them selves on these awesome creations.

This is Lynn Anne's project

She entitled it '29' ~ named for the sonnet by Shakespeare printed throughout the book.
"When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising
Haply, I think on thee, and then my state
(like to the lark at break of day arising
from sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings"
