BIG NEWS!!

I have been hiding this secret for the past week and now I can finally open my mouth!! I made Emma's design team! I'm still in shock! I cannot believe I'm going to be part of the My Creative Time design team! This is such an honor and a great opportunity for me to incorporate my work into Emma's awesome stamps. I was thrilled to have been picked from the list of all the talented people who put in for the team. I never thought I would be so lucky to be picked by Miss Emma herself. This is so very exciting!!!YAY me! (ok breathe in and out..)

Ok now to introduce myself...

My name is Nancy Morin. I'm 32 years old, married to my best friend, and we have three wonderful kids. Two girls ages 13 and 5 and one boy who is almost two. I began scrapbooking about three years ago. Shortly after, my interest in scrapbooking lead me to the YouTube community where I discovered how fun and exciting this industry had become. This route lead me to Emma's channel (aguilarsplace) on YouTube and since then, I've been hooked. My intentions are to preserve my children's memories so one day they too, can share these memories with their families. I have been blessed with a supportive husband who has given me my scrappy haven and has custom built my scrappy table. I'm a very lucky girl!

I don't have a specific style as I love it all. I incorporate my machines like the Cricut, Imagine, and my gypsy.  I'm inspired by mix media arts and crafts, but prefer a simple and clean style. I am very excited to be part of  the My Creative Time  Design Team and cannot wait to get started!
For my project, I created this simple yet elegant layout of my family during our trip to the San Fransisco Zoo. Lots of us use Emma's stamps on our cards but because they are so versatile, you can really use them on anything! I used several of her sets on this layout. Please read below for the full recipe.



I used Emma's Cherish the Moment stamp set for my hidden journaling. (I don't like my handwriting :))




For the background, I used Emma's Build a Banner Kit using the burlap stamp.


I used the XL label die and the coordinating label XL label boarders stamps for my title. The letters are from the Any Day Bingo and Crossword set.


I used Emma's Cherish the Moment set to stamp "Good Times". I love this set because you can really use it on any crafty project!
