Guest Designer: Melissa Elsner
>> Monday, March 26, 2012
Happy Monday, dear friends! Today, we are lucky to have Melissa Elsner guest designing for us. Melissa is an amazing scrapbooker and a champion of Lily Bee Design. She regularly contributes to our Facebook page with her fab projects.
I asked her to tell us a little about herself:
Hello! My name is Melissa Elsner and I hail from the beautiful
Pacific Northwest. When I'm not working at my day job as a toddler
teacher, I am usually having coffee with friends (it's what us west
coast folks do quite often and quite well), shopping, walking through
art galleries, traveling and, of course, scrapbooking. I've been doing
paper crafts in some shape or form since the early 2000's. I can't
remember the exact year but the turning point was when I took a class at
my, now closed, LSS. (Pause for moment of silence as we remember my
closed LSS.)
So I began to fervently make cards. Then, during a
therapy session, my counselor suggested I use scrapbooking to journal
about things. I hate writing. I hate keeping a regular journal. So I
tried it and haven't turned back. Most of my layouts are about me and my
inner thoughts, struggles, triumphs and such. And I still make cards!
:)
I have had the complete honor to work with some
amazing folks in this industry. People who know how I scrap and support
it! I've been published in Paper Crafts and ScrapStreet.com
as well as having projects featured here and there. I am also working
on finishing my first online class, which is really exciting!
And her gorgeous layouts...
Come back tomorrow to check out Melissa's studio space and learn how she organizes her supplies (and what her superhero powers and favorite snacks are — that's the really important stuff!)
