Just use PROMO CODE: Crazy30Feature to save 30% on any goodies in the C-4-M shop!  Here are some fun things that Mistyblue would like you to know about her:

My real name is Mistyblue Allen. I am a 34 year old stay at home mom of two boys 10 and 3.I lived in Japan for 12 years and worked for Ibaraki University as an assistant to the professor there. I spent a lot of my free time on the computer playing in Photoshop back when it was version 3 LOL, but went on maternity leave and when I was pregnant with my first son I started getting ideas about what to do with the pictures that I would be taking soon as he came along. I had never even heard of scrapbooking back then. But the idea of just plopping pictures into a plain picutre book just seemed so boring to me. So I got online and started looking for ideas to decorate a picture book and came across scrapbooking. Where I lived (very remote countryside) there were no scrapbooking stores or crafts stores that carries scrapbooking items. I started trying to make stuff just using construction paper to see if i could duplicate this or that and it was so much fun that I was on a niche from there. Eventually I started to order things from overseas on ebay and soon had a massive stash. Being that I had a boy I wanted a try at girly stuff. Though the finished stuff was nothing I could use and didnt know anyone over there who was into scrapbooking so I figured I would throw them up on ebay for a buck just so someone could put em to use. These were handmade monograms that I made and what blew my mind was that they not only sold fast but there were bidding wars going for them and requests for more and complete sets. They were fun to make and it would pay for my hobby so I started a little ebay thing for the next 5 years or so till I returned to the US. I had come across digital scrapbooking here and there but the idea never appealed to me as I enjoyed working with my hands too much yet one of the peeves I had was never being able to find what I needed when I needed it. The right elements but the wrong color and so on. I always thought how great would it be if I could just make the stuff myself. At one point a customer from Brazil wanted me to do a few digital projects for her. These were the first monograms to be digitally done. This first file took me almost 4 hours to do. But I was so impressed with how it turned out that I was rather hooked on the challenge. It wasn’t  long after that that I completely tossed out the whole paper scrapping. I couldn’t imagine going into that any longer when I could make anything I needed and not have any supply cost. It was awesome! The freedom to create anything you can imagine was perfect for me. I ended up donating everything I had (1000s worth the stuff) to the local childrens hospital craft program since I had not used anything of it in over a year. Dont miss it. Hooked on digi! What I love most about the digital world is the people. I work with so many amazing gals. Karen at Snickerdoodles and Katie at Just So Scrappy have been so dear to me. We met up in Vegas for the digiscrapalooza a few years back and we had become such good friends that we hung out as if we did it ever weekend. Amazing gals in this industry. It really restores your faith in people and the goodness still out there.

Here's just a *FEW* of the amazing goodies you will find in her shop - check them ALL out!

Meet this week's Featured Designer! It's Tracey Monette from Clever Monkey Graphics!

Good morning and Happy Monday!  Another fun day and another *AMAZING* MyMemories Designer to show off! This week, we are super excited to show you a little peek into the designed mind of Tracey Monette.  She has some ADORABLE goodies in her shop and this week, they are ALL on sale! Be sure to hop on over there and check it out!  Comment below to tell her YOUR favorite, and you could win a fun little shopping code to her store!  Don't miss out!  Here are some FUN things she'd like you to know about her:

My name is Tracey Monette and in digi-land I can also be found as Clever Monkey Graphics. I am married and we have a most wonderful daughter who is the focus of 99% of my layouts!  We also have 2 cute guinea pigs - the first furry pet I've given into for my daughter due to allergies - all day they eat, say wheek wheek wheek when I open a fridge door, poop, sleep, repeat; and since we've got them I've had a permanent allergy cough as it turns out I'm allergic to the hay they need. Oh well, that's life! Born and raised Canadian, I have lived in California, Paris-France, and now the Portland, Oregon area for the past 12 or so years. My husband and I decided to be married by 'Elvis' in Las Vegas - the family and friends had lots of places to go have fun after our reception festivities were done! I've been designing for more then 6 years now - I started scrapping when I had my daughter - went digital when printing prices came down - and with a graphic design degree in hand, I quickly moved on to designing and I can't imagine doing anything else now. In general both friends and strangers find me warm, friendly, and approachable as I very much enjoy people. My design style is filled with color and often includes my custom doodles and felt elements. One of my favorite quotations is "Every day we have a new chance to become the person we want to be." and I try to live by that thought.

So take a peek and tell her YOUR favorite!

Meet this week's Featured Designer! It's Barb from *Albums to Remember*

Good morning and *Happy Monday*!! We are excited to show off one of our favorite Designers here at MyMemories.com!! It's Barb from *Albums to Remember*!!  Barb always has a way of creating just that perfect thing for the next project you're working on.  Be sure to check out ALL the awesome designs she has in her Albums to Remember shop at MyMemories.com!  Here are some fun things she'd like you to know about her:

My name is Barb and I sell my designs under the name Albums to Remember. I started my design career in 2009 as a hobby but turned it into a full time job over a year ago. I enjoy the flexibility of being able to work from home.

My design style has changed a little over the past the couple of years but for the most part I like the look of paper scrapbooking so my elements will often mimic what you would find if you were paper scrapbooking.I have a daughter and a son so I usually try to make my kits work for both genders. There are a few girl only kits in the store but for the most part you can make many of my kits work for boys or girls. I also try to add enough elements and papers so you can create generic pages out of my themed kit.

I often use My Memories Suite software to create my albums and don't have a lot of time so I decided to create a product called Page Builders or Barb's Builders to make the process go faster. Builders are pages set up with all the shapes and photo boxes ready for you to add the papers and photos of your choice. No need to spend time figuring out how to layout your page, the building is all done for you. It makes the process so much faster. If you would like to try a Page Builder for free I have this freebie in the store: http://www.mymemories.com/store/display_product_page?id=ARBP-LT-1112-10177

I have also teamed up with a fabulous layout artist by the name of AK Designs. I am busy recreating her amazing layouts into Builders and templates for the My Memories store. If you like pages with a lot of layers and some clusters check these out. Remember with the Builders and Templates you can always change your papers and embellishments for a whole new look. This week you can pick up a free AK Template sampler! Grab it now before it goes back to full price.

And Barb would like to give TWO $25.00 Shopping Sprees 

and ONE $15.00 Shopping Spree away - comment below and tell her YOUR favorite kit!

Meet this week's Featured Designer! It's Paula from *Keystone Scraps*!!

Good morning and Happy Monday!! It's time to introduce another fabulous *MyMemories* Designers to you!  We have some awesome Designers and they are super generous and creative!! This week, Paula from "Keystone Scraps" has some FUN stuff to share with you!  She has a great selection of goodies in her shop and here's some fun stuff she'd like to share with you:

Hi! My name is Paula, and I'm the creative brain behind this little operation called Keystone Scraps. I've been married to my husband Tom for 18 years. We have 3 kids, (a boy and 2 girls.. all teens now!) and a small domestic zoo (2 dogs, 4 cats, and a gerbil!). I started paper scrapbooking about 13 years ago and turned entirely to digital about 5 years ago. I love that I can take my laptop along and scrap anywhere with no mess or clean up! It makes passing the hours in the car waiting for kids to finish up their activities so much more pleasant! 

Because we were having a hard time finding quality kits in the styles we were looking for, I started designing digital scrapbook supplies in partnership with my BFF Melissa. We formed Keystone Scraps in February 2011, choosing the name Keystone Scraps since we are both from the keystone state, Pennsylvania!  Since that time, I have taken over the reigns as a solo venture, and have been running along ever since! Designing kits is the perfect way for me to release the creative energy that I have stored up through the day. I  find inspiration in everything, but especially color.  I love for my kits and scrapbook pages to create a mood or a feeling.  

There's a little something for everyone's taste in my shoppe.  I love to scrap with a variety of styles and that is shown by the variety of kits I create.  I love cute whimsical elements for my Disney World Vacation photos, and often create in that style.  My Day to day pages I like a more refined, vintage, shabby Victorian look, so you will find plenty of items like that too! All my products are independently quality checked! Some of my favorite kits are from my World Traveler Series and Magic Every Day.  I hope through my kits and my own pages, I can share my love of scrapping with you!  

She has a WHOLE shop giveaway for ONE Lucky Duck here on the blog and ONE Lucky Duck WHOLE Shop giveaway on Facebook, so comment here to tell her YOUR favorite kit in her shop - and watch for the Facebook post and enter there too!  So, check out ALL her links!
