August Guest Designers, New Joe Rotella design, Hop Winners and LOTS LOTS MORE TO WIN!

YES! It is hard to believe it is August but it is here. Soon school will be starting and here at Want2Scrap we have two wonderful guest designers to inspire you this month:

First the lovely and talented......Julie Ranae:

 

Julie Ranae comes from The Forest City of Rockford, Illinois. She has been married to her British-import husband Paul for 22 years and is the mother of two children and Mema to four grandsons.

Her professional background in retail marketing & consulting eventually led into her opening the largest rubber stamp and paper-crafting store in Illinois.  She has gone on to organize paper-crafting events and workshop and retreat weekends which have drawn crafters from all over the world

In June 2009, she began a new journey with her creative blog Julie’s Open Window.  It quickly became an outlet for her passion of creative writing and a place to share her work.  Recently celebrating her 3-year ‘blogaversary’, she is honored that nearly 1100 ‘fabby friends’ have become followers and participate in a variety of blog hops, challenges and fun when they visit.

She is the creator of the very popular weekly color challenge, The Play Date Café & co-creator of the Clean & Simple Challenge, CAS-ual Fridays . She is also the Design Team Coordinator for The Twinery & The Craft’s Meow, a designer for EAD Designs and Marketing Coordinator for StopandScrap.com.

Her work in the rubber stamping industry has been featured in a variety of trade publications and her designs have been featured in Scrapbook News & Review, Paper Craft Planet, CARDS/Create and Moxie Fab World.

She is a huge fan of Skype and is constantly in front of the mirror, checking her makeup...

just in case someone calls! (I love that)

And our second guest is the fabulous and super sweet

Jennifer Priest:

 

Jennifer has been involved in the papercrafting community for over 12 years. She lives in the High Desert of California with her supportive {and sometimes scrappy} husband, two kids, and two dogs. For the past 10 years, Jennifer has been teaching papercrafting classes at events, charity crops, and local retailers as well as online through My Creative Classroom. A love of sharing, a passion for teaching, and a happy, whimsical design style drive Jennifer's creative endeavors and characterize her work. A potpourri of styles from across the spectrum, Jennifer's work always includes a bit of humor and fantasy, a touch of the unexpected. Jennifer mixes her passion to try new things, push the envelope, and experiment with her affinity for techniques that are quick, affordable, and accessible by others. Her outlook on crafting is that it is a continual learning process, with every crafter at a different place in their crafty journey, each of us learning from one another.

Jennifer has represented multiple manufacturers as an educator and design team member as well as social media consultant and coordinator for several brands. In 2007, Jennifer launched Hydrangea Hippo, promoting the etsy shop and companion blog solely online through social marketing, As a result of her efforts and techniques, her sales have doubled each year since opening and her advice on marketing is sought by colleagues regularly. Jennifer founded HydrangeaHippoMedia in March 2012 to further her work in social media by networking with, coaching, and managing programs for designers & crafters, indie businesses, and craft manufacturers. She's been fortunate enough to have had her work published in top publications and books and is a Designer Member of the Craft and Hobby Association. When she's not papercrafting, Jennifer enjoys gardening, visiting local crafts fairs, watching reality shows on Bravo, and taking touristy day trips around California with her family. Jennifer is also an Army veteran, volunteer for local charities and dedicated mom and wife.
