Please Welcome Our April Guest Designer!!!

Hey there everybody! It's the beginning of the month again, which means it's time to say goodbye and a big THANK YOU to Penny D'Autremont for being our guest designer for February. Penny, it was fabulous having you with us!

It also means it's time to meet our April Guest Designer!!! Please give a warm welcome to Jenneke Knol!
Hello, I'm Jenneke Knol and I'm so honored to be the April guest designer at Scrapping The Music!

My love for scrapping started about 3.5 years ago, and from that moment on I hardly can't imagine a week without it!

I don't have one style in particular. Sometimes it's freestyle and funky, sometimes it's vintage and shabby chic. I love to play with challenges or sketches.

Currently I design for "These Are a Few of My Favorite Things" and "Leg's Get Shabby," two wonderful challenge blogs. I'm also a guest designer at Bella Blvd and Kreatorville Krafts.

Besides scrapping I love to photograph, listen to the radio, surfing on the internet and blogging, shopping and spending time with my friends and my three children.

If you want to see more of me, please take a visit to my blog: Just a Glimpse of My Daily Life


Don't forget, you have until midnite on Tuesday to get your "Fireflies" layouts in! Remember to link them to the challenge post, which you can find by clicking here.

Please Welcome Our Newest Design Team Member!

We are beyond excited to introduce the newest member of the Scrapping The Music Design Team! She is a three-time STM Hall of Famer, a long-time regular participant, and her fun and unique scrapping style is sure to inspire you! Please welcome.....

FRAUKE NOLZEN!!!

Hi everyone! I'm so exited to be a member of the Scrapping The Music Design team! My name is Frauke Nolzen. I'm wife to my hubby Wolfgang, mother to my four kids aged 23-34 and grandma to Magnus, 4 years old. I live in the Rhine/Ruhr Area of Germany.

I started scrapbooking in summer 2003 and still love to scrap. And while I'm doing it, I often listen to music. When I was young I loved the Jackson 5, Osmonds and Partridge Family. Today I prefer Flower Power, Jazz and chansons.

I hope you like my clean scrapping style and it inspires you to join us! Have fun!

You can check out more of Frauke's work by visiting her blog: Scrapaholic.

We also have a new guest designer for April to introduce to you, but she deserves her own post, so come on back tomorrow and see who it is......

Don't forget, you have until midnite on Tuesday to get your "Fireflies" layouts in! Remember to link them to the challenge post, which you can find by clicking here.
