DT- Showcase: Jennifer Armentrout

I'd like to introduce to you Jennifer Armentrout a new member of our Design Team!  Here's a little bit about her.

Hello! My name is Jennifer Armentrout and I have been scrapbooking virtually since birth (my Mom has the albums with picture collages of Kirk Cameron to prove it!), but I started "modern" scrapbooking after the birth of my first son, Eric, in 2003. I have roughly 945,897 photos of Eric and his siblings, Benjamin and Allison, so there is always plenty to scrap. I am fortunate to have been published in several scrapbook magazines and books, and I am a co-founder of a scrap challenge blog called Method Playground. I am thrilled to be designing for Piggy Tales and 3M.

Jennifer is also a Creating Keepsakes Magazine 2007 Hall of Fame Honorable Mention winner and has been published in Creating Keepsakes, Memory Makers and Scrapbook Trends Magazines.

We are so lucky to have her on our team and can't wait to see more of her creations using our products!

Here are a few of her projects that would be great to use for Father's Day! ENJOY!!

(3) Use #342 Build-a Rub-on to make journaling spots on solid colored paper. Trim and adhere to patterned sides of chipboard with Scotch gluestick. Write journaling in centers. Embellish pages with #346 Cardstock stickers if you desire.
(4) For cover, adhere a letter from #345 Chipboard letters to the side of the square/flower chipboard.
