Camper of the Year

It has been a great summer here at Camp Friendzy but all things must come to an end.  Unfortunately even summer, which is slowly slipping away from us.  With school starting next week this is my last week of summer.  We had lots of fun hanging out at the mess hall and around the water at camp and I'm happy to say there was a lot of scrapping going on at this special camp :)  We had 4 ladies who earned all the badges given out at camp.

May Girlfirend of the Month





Congratulations to our May GOTM Kerys!!!!




Hi. My name is Kerys Sharrock and I am a SAHM with 2 awesome children and a wonderful husband. My son is 12 next week and my daughter is 8. We all moved to the USA from the UK in June 2010 and I think we have FINALLY adjusted!!! Mind you - I still call things by the wrong names and get some very weird looks! I am also CONSTANTLY being asked how long I am on holiday for! I don't think I will ever lose my English accent (unlike the kids) so I will just have to get used to it!
 
I started scrapping in January 2011 after my mum bought me some scrapbooking bits for Christmas - she didn't want me to get bored!!! Well - that was the start of it - and I haven't looked back since! I will admit that I am COMPLETELY hooked! I have slowly taken over my husbands study and am loving scrapping the photos that have sat on our computer since 2003 for nobody to see. I love anything by Echo Park, MME, Bo Bunny, Imaginisce...the list could go on, and have recently began to venture into altered projects. As long as I can 'play' with papers, twine, and other fun elements I am happy. I am currently on the design team for a sketch blog (Let's Get Sketchy) and a cutting files/stamps blog (The cutting cafe) - something I love and something that keeps me out of mischief! My blog address is: http://scrappinnhappy.blogspot.com - it would be great to see you over there - let me know what you think :-)
 
I love the variety of challenges that Scrap-Friendzy has - something for everyone - and would like to thank Rochelle Spears for introducing me to this site! Thank you for choosing me to be GOTM and I look forward to taking part in many more of your challenges.
Happy Scrapping :-)
 
Here is some of her amazing work.

April Girlfriend of the Month

Congratulations to Rachelle for being our GOTM for April.  Let's get to know her a little bit!!


Hi Fellow Scrap Neighbors,
My name is Rachelle(ShellyScrap). I am totally addicted to the world of scrapbooking since 2009 and self taught. I am a retired 6th grade teacher and miss it so much. Now I am physically disabled, confined to a wheelchair and assisted by home health aides. Scrapbooking is the perfect activity for me. I LOVE
SCRAPPING everyday including holidays.
I am divorced and I have 2 sons 35 and 19. I have 2 beautiful grandchildren; girl and boy. I have osteo arthritis, fibromylagia, and congestive heart failure. So I like scrapping on the days when I am not in too much pain.
I love the Lord because there is none like Him and He is worthy of the my praise. I give God all the glory and honor for caring and watching over me each day. May your day be blessed always.
 
Now take a look at some of her beautiful work.

February Girlfriend of the Month

Give a big welcome to our February GOTM Theresa.


Let's get to know a little bit about her.

My name is Theresa and my user name is kiwicanuck. I have lived in Auckland, New Zealand for almost 25 years but am originally from Vancouver, BC, Canada. I have been scrapbooking for almost 15 years. I went to a card-making workshop and the tutor mentioned that she was about to become a Creative Memories consultant. Both my daughter and I decided to try scrapbooking but quickly moved on from CM. I have stayed with traditional scrapbooking and my daughter is almost totally digital. My style, when I began, was very simple and linear but I have evolved into a more layered, shabby chic style. I can never have too much on a layout. When ever I travel I am either looking for a LSS or looking for inspiration for layouts and cards. Several years ago, I planned a trip back to visit family in Canada at the same time there was an SB retreat and I had such a great time that I had to buy an extra suitcase the bring all my SB purchases home.  I really enjoy being at Scrap Friendzy and I find the challenges motivate me to complete more layouts and cards.

Here are a few of her wonderful creations.

Girlfriend of the Month

Meet our Girlfriend of the Month for January 
Tricia!!!


Hello from Indiana!  My name is Tricia and I am mother to three little people ages 7, 9, and 13.  I have been married for 17 years to a wonderful, hardworking man who lets me buy whatever scrapbooking goodies I want, whenever I want.    I have been scrapbooking for 14 years now.  What started out as a hobby has quickly grown to an obsession.  Layouts, cards, albums, altered items:  nothing is safe around me!
If I am in my crafting place, everyone knows I should not be bothered.  Scrapbooking is my way of leaving a legacy for my family.  By writing down my memories, I am sure that my children can pass on our traditions, our life, and our history to their families.
Here are a few of the wonderful creations Tricia has created.
