Welcome our August GDT, Melissa.

Hi, my name is Melissa and I've been paper scrapping since 1997 when my oldest daughter started kindergarten. I have four beautiful daughters: Ashley, Natalie, Macie, and Sophie and I just recently found out we now have a baby boy on the way! (due in December) I have been married to my husband Danny, since 2006.

My husband and I run our own business, so I love having a creative outlet to help me relax! My girls all love to "get crafty" with me, and we have a lot of fun spending time together in my craft room. In addition to scrapping, I enjoy art journaling and creating mixed media pieces.

You can check out all of my projects on my blog www.melshappyscrappyplace.wordpress.com. I also wanted to say Thank You to all of you who voted for me for August Guest Designer. I am looking forward to working with the very talented DT ladies here on Sketchy Thursdays.

Here is what Melissa made for the first sketch of the month. Love it! Welcome aboard, Melissa!

This week's challenge is sponsored by Scrappy Chics.

Hello scrappy friends, I'm Melinda, the owner of Scrappy Chics. I have been scrapbooking for about 11 years. I love everything about scrapbooking from collecting, organizing, and of course preserving my past. There is nothing like the smell of fresh paper. (LOL!) I have been in the scrapbook industry as a store employee, manager, designer, teacher and whatever I could challenge myself at for the past 8 years.

I started Scrappy Chics in 2009 by selling my kits at local flea markets during the summer. I then sold my kits at a local scrapbook store and decided last summer to venture into my online kit club which officially opened in November. I love coordinating embellishments, paper and making a few things to add in my kits. I feel it is a touch of love going into each kit.

My main goal as the owner of Scrappy Chics is to make my customers feel like they have received a gift when opening each kit. I want it to feel like a present each month in the mail box. After all, we live a very busy life and should treat ourselves with nothing better than scrapping goodies.

Scrappy Chics is offering this fab prize to this week's winner.

Upload your entry to the Mr. Linky in the sidebar to be eligible for this week's prize drawing. You have until 10 p.m. (EST) on Wed., Aug 10 to play along. Good Luck!!
