Rachel wrote up a little bio for you all-

I’m so happy to be joining Ginger Scraps! I’m a stay at home mom of 2 lil ones Gage who is 4 and Ana who is 1.5 Married to my hubby of which whom I am totally in love with 🙂 I have been digital scrapping for some time, the years are blurring together now, lol. I had been an avid paper scrapper all through high school, my friends and I would stay up late in to the night scrapping away, anyways after having Gage there was no way I could continue paper scrapping I made a few pages in his book and that was that. While shopping in Target one day I found a computer program for digital scrap booking, I talked hubby in to getting it for me for Christmas and then letting me have it early so I could play with it, I made about 5 pages with that program until I found Ginger Scraps and discovered a whole new world of digital scrap booking. I stopped using that program and dusted off my Photoshop and began Freebie hunting, I was in awe of the generosity of those designers with so many freebies, so I started making freebies too, when we moved in to our house, the address here is crazy and a lil screwed up lol so we couldn’t find Internet access for 6 months, but when we did right away I logged on to Ginger Scraps and was happy that it still felt like home to me! I entered the Designer contest and failed miserably I am so embarrassed by the designs I put out, but I kept at it and I take my time and now I put out ,in my opinion, beautiful quality designs that I hope you will enjoy and love too : )

Here’s the First Design I’d Like to Show you, I’m in love with it, I call it the Puppy Love Series! These kits came out of the love of my own Beagle mix I wanted to scrap layouts with some similar looking dog elements and all I could find out there were equally cute but non-specific breed doodles or cut outs, so one day I asked a few girls what their favorite breeds were and these kits came to life. There will be more puppies on the way if you want a puppy made for your breed of dog let me know, I’ll add it to my list 🙂

The Puppy Love Series will be 30% off until the 4th of July!

These kits are perfect for a dog lover. I know I love my beagle mix! These adorable puppies need a home will you take one home with you and keep him safe? scrap him with pictures of your favorite puppy. He comes with a few of his favorite items and toys. 2 word arts, 1 paper shaper, 12 elements, 1 doghouse frame.
