AND… today’s designer feature is Dawn of DayBreakScraps……

“My name is Dawn, my designer name is Daybreak Scraps. I’ve been digi-scrapping since 2003 and started designing September 2009 right before I lost my ‘real’ job. I must say I much prefer designing to working for someone else! My DH and I live in Western Ky with our adult DD and 5 furbabies, one of my furbabies is a Dutch rabbit named Davy and she is such a joy to have around. Our DS lives on his own since August of last year, what a learning experience that has been! I am so excited to be a part of GingerScraps! The designer contest was so much fun and I am learning so much from Ginger and the other Gingerbread Ladies.

For today I have a gorgeous kit that you can download for free for 24 hrs then it goes in the shop. I’m also hosting a speed scrap tonight at 9pm CST and have a lovely mini-kit as a participation prize. I hope to see all of you there!

I look forward to getting to know everyone here at GingerScraps! I hope you all stick around for our party week :).

Here’s my gift for everyone today(click on image to go to the shop):”

Here is a little info all from Teri….
Well, Good Morning Ladies! First of all my Name is Teri Mayo and I design under Teris’ Thing-O-My-Jigs and my alter design name, (you know… my Sasha Fierce alter ego) Hybrid-Licious. I have been designing for about 2 1/2 years now, and love the create outlet. I have made so many friends in the digi world. A little more about me if I may… I married my JR. High sweetheart, and if we make it till July we will be married 34 years. We have 3 children, 2 boys and a girl. If our children are the delight of our lives, then our 2 grandchildren are the love of our lives! I love being a “Gramsie” and that is actually the motivation behind me getting into digi scrapping!. We live in a small quiet town in South Texas just a few minutes from the beach. My hubby is an all American Farmer! Yep, I think his tractors ***y! I am a 15 year Breast Cancer survivor and life is good. I am a Christian and love to share my love for the Lord and His love for others. So when you see my logo, “Create, Inspire and Share” just remember to pay it forward. And speaking of that.. I did create a little goodie for you gals todzy, and now I want to Inspire you and Share it FREE!!! Enjoy! :)T

Oh, by the way…Teri is hosting a Speed Scrap at 8 CST. And the participation prize will be a $5.00 Gift Certificate to her shop! Hope to see you there! Be sure to visit each day to see all of our great goodies. Create, Inspire and Share! :)T Go to the Speed Scrap Here!
