Hi everyone! I am so excited to introduce you to this week’s Guest Designer Cindy Liebel.  Let’s get to know Cindy a little better …

Describe yourself in 3 words … happy, creative & thoughtful.

My guilty pleasure is
… three layer chocolate cake sprinkled with chopped nuts & topped with vanilla bean ice cream with drizzles of chocolate syrup.

You’ll never find me without … my 60D & lip gloss.

You might be surprised to know that … this year my be the first year that I don’t plan on Black Friday shopping. As much as I enjoy the rush of it all & the good deals, my shopping will be done online this year, in my jammies.

My least favorite chore is
… ironing 1st & putting away laundry 2nd.

I started scrapbooking in … 2003, 9 months after my son was born.

My favorite thing about this hobby is
… the satisfaction of creating with my hands, being with friends who enjoy the hobby as much as I do & the excitement of new product that some how finds it way into my studio & onto my pages.

If I were a Pebbles product I would be … I can never get enough of the Dimensional Butterflies.

Cindy created so many amazing projects for us today including this fun self-portrait layout.  Here’s what Cindy had to say … “I got a little snap happy while trying on clothes. I just loved everything I had picked out to see how they would all fit. This particular shirt was a favorite. I just love the delicate ruffled layered fabric pieces on this shirt & how the shirt looked on me. This was a lucky shot, aim & shoot & hope it’s a good one kind of photo. I love how the photo turned out & thought it would be perfect to use as the background for my page. I printed the large photo onto white cardstock for a canvas look and embellished around it with a variety of stickers, dimensional embellishments, two tiny photos & machine stitching for more added texture. Super simple!”

Here’s what Cindy had to say about her next project … “I really love loading up my layouts with lots of small photos. As soon as I saw the clothes pins embellishments, I knew I had to create a clothes line affect with lots of photos. Once I decided on the background & after tucking one side of each twine behind the layered border, I machine stitched to keep the twin from moving, then hung each photo with a clothes pin & added pop dots for dimension. I like how the colors and textures come together with the illusion of hanging photos giving it a bit of a whimsical look.”

Here’s what Cindy had to say about her next project … “Ever since I entered into the 40 something club, I have been trying to set goals for myself. I’m on a journey of trying and completing those goals and wanted to document each of them in a journal. So, I cut out lots & lots of cardstock & pattern papers to 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ & bounded them together, with plenty of room to grow. Each of the pages are left blank so when I am ready to add to it, I can write & embellish as I go along. It will be fun look back at everything I have aspired to do.”

Cindy also created a project to go along with our “grateful” theme this week.  Here’s what Cindy had to say … “Last year during the month of November I documented all things I was grateful for each day. This particular photo was snapped on the 17th by my daughter, who at the time was 3 1/2 years old & the journaling was pulled from my blog. I loved the colors and textures of the paper so much I had to use my Silhouette machine to cut out leaves to go along with the fall theme. Out of all the photos of me that day, this was one of two that was not blurry, but with my eyes looking away from the camera – to balance out the layout, I embellished the page with the die-cut leaves that kinda give a floating affect.”
