I was supposed to post links to these
Celeste's blog is full of amazing little bits of eyecandy. She finds and posts the best of the crafty little fun stuffs to be found on the internet.
Plus her adorable boys give her some of the best scrapbook material I've seen. I've been admiring her layouts for years now and was thrilled at the opportunity to work with her.
Beth is amazing. So imagine my excitement when she started up a blog last year. One of the first assignments I received was for the fun "recipe tester" chapter for the Album Shortcuts issue. And I got to "test" on of Beth's designs.
Now imagine how intimidated I was...(remember, I'm the dork who has held on to emails from Wendy, Angie and some of the other gals, who I won't wax poetic about because frankly, I don't need anymore restraining orders).
What can one say about Margaret? She is funny. Hilariously so. Her boys are funny. Hilariously so (I think they get it from their dad)
And have you seen her photos?
And her layouts?
I know, right?
I love her blog, it's one of my favourites (and that is my little passive-aggressive way of letting her know I hope she'll update more often.)
Rachel Gainer
I had the pleasure of working with Rachel quite a few times. She is one of the sweetest people that worked at Simple. One of the other Editorial Team members had posted on their blog how intimidating is was to be talking or emailing with an EDITOR (see, I bolded and redded that to show how scary it was). People like Rachel kind of made people like me (freaks) take and breath and think, "Hey, they're nice!"
Here are a couple of assignments I did for Rachel:
Now I have to make a couple of very important phone calls.
So I'll be back later with the winners to the little prizey gifts from two days ago and with another "GRAND PRIZE" (that I just received in the mail from Angie to give away!)
I love the "My Prince" LO. The journaling is hilarious!! I really like the design and colors too. I may have to borrow that one :)

LOL! The "My Prince LO cracks me up! :D Totally sounds like something my own dear husband would say (and darn it if he isn't right...he definitely could outrun our 2 kids and me!)
And the Phat LO - I didn't start skiing 'til I was in my 20's, so my kids (7 and 9) have a leg up on me. They're not to the terrain park level (yet!), but will no doubt leave me in the dust. *sigh*
