"Hello, my name is Miki Shimada. I live in Osaka Japan, with my husband, tow sons(17 and 11 year old) and two cats. Elder son doesn’t want any more photos, so I usually scrap the photos of younger son and fur babies. I started scrapbooking about 12 years ago, and still love it! It’s a way to refresh and keep the memories for my family. My style is clean & simple.You can find me on social media here:

January 1 2018 Challenge Featured Layout #2

Hello, and thanks for joining us for our second featured layout of January. But before we show you this inspirational page that was submitted to our January 1st sketch challenge, we want to recognize our sponsors.

A big thank you to ScrapMatts for sponsoring this challenge. They are offering two large pieces of chipboard to one lucky participant.

ScrapMatts is a place to learn, share ideas and view some great design concepts, while offering Australian Made, Laser Cut Chipboard, original shapes and designs, made to compliment your scrapbooking pages or your card making projects.

AND thank you to SpiegelMom Scraps, who is sponsoring this challenge with the three new-for-January sequin releases and three yards each of the in-stock May Arts burlap string, all for a second lucky participant.

Hi everyone! I'm Jody Spiegelhoff, the proud owner of SpiegelMom Scrap (SMS). I live in Wisconsin, USA with my busy and crazy blended family. I’ve been crafting since childhood, and began stamping and scrapbooking in 2002. Creating has always been my quiet time and firmly believe that taking a little time each day to be creative is so important and good for our souls. I started SMS officially in 2010 and have loved growing my business ever since. I totally love creating unique sequin mixes which are inspired by a variety of things around me; nature, new scrapbook collections, artwork, my daughters and more. You can find SMS on Instagram @Spiegelmom_Scraps, on Facebook, YouTube and the website www.spiegelmomscraps.com. We'd love for you to stop by and check us out! The Sparklers Design Team and I love to read your sweet comments.

Kelly is our featured artist today. The flurry of hearts falling on these lovebirds is just darling. And how clever are those sweet twine hearts? Wowza indeed! :-)

We are so glad you joined us, Kelly. Please grab our "featured" button below and wear it on your blog.
