Let's welcome our Guest Designer this week, Jeri!

We were so excited when Jeri from Bug 'N Me Creations said she would guest design for us this month!  She makes really beautiful projects - wait until you see them!

I'm a papercrafter that's living her dream.  I've been married for 38 year's, raised five children, been blessed with nine grandchildren, retired from elementary education, survived breast cancer, sold our home last year and literally rode off into the sunset.  My husband and I are living in our RV and traveling around the country.  Currently we're in Florida enjoying the warmth and sunshine for the winter.  When hubby goes golfing, I start papercrafting.  I love all forms of papercrafting---scrapbooking, home decor, and cardmaking.  Unfortunately, I had to leave most of my supplies in storage and bring only the most important things---my Cricut machine and cartridges, a few punches and stamps, cardstock and a stack of 6x6 paper pads.  I enjoy visiting scrapbook stores around the country as we travel and meeting other papercrafters.
Check out Jeri's blog,  Bug 'N Me Creations, to see more of her projects using the Cricut.  They are terrific!

Be sure and check out Joy's and Melanie's personal blogs for more creative goodness at Obsessed with Scrapbooking and Courtney Lane Designs!

Welcome, Jeri! I don't know how I would have decided what to bring with me. If you get back to storage every quarter or so, you could sort of take different stuff each season. Then everything is new again.

Hi Jeri, & welcome!
I just took a look at your blog & love your ideas. My favs were the big bug hug & how beautiful you made a white plain gift bag. I just love the bow! I am a beginner, just started over the Holidays and have found it to be a pretty expensive hobby. I like that you don't have all your supplies with you but can still create such beautiful things with limited supplies. Thank you for the inspiration!

Debbie said...

welcome Jeri love the card it is very elegant looking

Welcome Jeri....loved visiting your blog!

Peggy Caffalette said...

We just started RVing, and I'm just beginning to use my Cricut.I would love to win the Pet cartridge, as about 90% of the people in our park have pets. I could make some really cute projects for the pet owners here.

snoopygirl said...

glad you could join us. we (hubby and I) have always wanted to RV hoping that we get to before the cancer gets in the way. DH has kidney cancer they have removed left kidney,left testicle and gallbladder within the last 12 months as well as the grapefruit size mass. they told us that the spots have returned on his lungs. we also have raised our kids and have 4 soon to be 5 grandkids.(in 3 states from AZ.to Tn.) would love to travel between them in RV like you but money is in the way right now.
Looking forward to seeing what wonderful things you are going to share with us.

Peg Toth said...

Thanks, Jeri for sharing with all of us. Much appreciated.

I cannot imagine how you manage w/just a few key items "on the road," although the idea of shopping all over the US sounds so fun! Welcome Jeri.Such awesome ideas are gathered & shared here!

I like your creations and have written your website on my list to follow.

Trena said...

I love that you have had to scale back on your supplies. The drawback to paper crafting is how expensive it can get if you have all the "extras". It's so great to see that beautiful designs can be had with such limited supplies.

I look forward to seeing some of your projects!!!
