Meet this week's Featured Designer, *Saxon Holt* from *A Saxon Creation*

It's time for another featured Designer on the MyMemories blog!  We'd like to introduce you to our friend, Saxon Holt!  She's the creative mind behind *A Saxon Creation* - she's got some super fun stuff in her shop and check below for the GREAT SALE she's sharing this week!  Here's a few fun things that Saxon would like you to know about her!  From Saxon:

It is a honor to be a featured designer here at My Memories, and I am grateful for the chance to tell you all about myself! Professionally, I have been scrapbooking since 1998, and designing since 2003. I started selling digital kits in 2005, and have loved every minute of it. I still scrap for myself every day, and it's my passion. Many people ask me where I get my ideas and how I can continue to design after all of these years. The answer is simple. I design what I personally would love and can use. If I have a kit about Greece, it's because I went to Universal Studios and have pictures of Greek Ruins. I think that creativity must come from everyday life, so some of kits are destined to be not as popular as others, but hopefully, someone besides me will appreciate an eclectic mix of everyday products! 


Personally, I have been married to my husband, Kevin, for almost 14 years now, and am a proud Air Force wife! We have two daughters, Abby who is twelve, and Lucy who is six. We live in New Braunfels, Texas and are recent transplants to this great state. My parents share our home and we truly love being a multi-generational family. We have had the pleasure of living all over the country, and I am looking forward to meeting some of you in person as I travel. If you haven't tried any of my products, and are hesitant, you can always "friend" me on my Facebook Fan Page and download the monthly freebie for a taste of my design style! Happy Scrapping!                             
                                                                                                                                 ~ Saxon

  5. This is an incredibly difficult question for me to answer because you are my favourite designer. I have so many of your kits and love them all for different reasons. I'd have to say "Joe Six Pack" for its versatility, but I seriously love Snowy Day and Gloomy Day, oh and Funky Fishtank. Ackk - don't make me choose! Congratulations Saxon!!! ♥

    ReplyDelete
  52. I don't have a favorite kit yet as I have not scrapped my pages. My favorite kit will be the one that induces the most emotion (either happiness or sadness). However, I like elements in the kits such as the "rain" in Gloomy Day and the "wishbone" in Harvest Kitchen Paper Pieces.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I love Let Them Eat Cake... it's great!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Thanks for all the great offers Saxon! Love your work. My favourites are Victorian Christmas...love the rich purples! Also the sets in My colors...looks like a very versatile set to have. I recently used At The Museum-China to wish my friend a Happy New Year 2012 as she is Chinese and recently moved to take her nursing training. I am going to see if she is okay with me posting it as it has her picture on it.
    Cheers!

  78. Joe Six Pac is like you made it especially for my husband. He's not a big beer drinker but he is a do-it-yourself guy all the way. He handles tools like they were part of him. Anyway, I love this kit. Thanks for the opportunity to win kits from your beautiful collection.
