Meet Shabby Miss Jenn

I have been scrapbooking for many many years,

as mush as I love to get my hands dirty and full of ink.

About four years ago I switched to creating most of

my family scrapbook pages with digital designs,

which has saved me tons of time and money.

I use many of Jenn’s impressive products

with Shabby Miss Jenn Designs

to create my digital scrapbook pages.

I am so happy that Jenn from Shabby Miss Jenn Designs

agreed to stop by and visit us here on my blog.

She is a very talented graphic designer

who creates the most amazing digital artwork EVER.

I love her work and use it to

create treasured scrapbook pages

and eye catching blog banners here on my blog.

Yes, she has unbelievable digital blog packs,

that include banner, frames, tab buttons and much more.

How cool is that? Oh, let me answer that question. Way Cool!

My name is Jenna Beam, aka Shabby Miss Jenn.

I started digital scrap booking in 2003 when our first son was born.

Ever since then I have loved to digi scrap!

I love to scrap our daughter, two sons, husband

and our little yorkie puppy.

When I started to digi scrap, I began playing more

and customizing my photos, elements and papers.

It was then that I started playing with designing.

I suddenly just fell in love with it and enjoy designing

and creating new things everyday.

The main reason I fell in love with this amazing hobby

was to document every moment in my family's lives.

From beginning to crawl, to walking and now to playing baseball,

looking back on all my pages makes me smile.

It's something I truly love and will never want to stop doing.

I have adored Paula for many years!

Her talent and craftiness is amazing!!!!

I'm so tickled that she wanted to do a little feature on my site.

I'd like to offer a small free gift to say thank you!

Please enjoy this coupon for a complimentary

set of our Template Bunches Volume 1.

These templates will help you start the journey to learn

how to digiscrap (if you don't already do so now)

and they are super easy to use.

Expires April 1st 2012.

Paula Thank you!

I have enjoyed sharing a little bit about myself

and my shop at Shabby Miss Jenn Designs with you on your blog.

Thanks so much, Jenn.

I discovered Jenn many years ago while browsing through digital scrapbook galleries.

The fabulous shabby chic look of her designs caught my eye;

I flipped over the cutest of her work. I am so glad that I found her shop because

“This girl's work is totally amazing and her designs Rock”.
I am in love with her Shabby Digital Designs...they are just so adorable.
The colors and designs make my scrapbook pages look to cool for words.
Perfectly put together with amazing
detail that anyone would love.

Last Friday night we all had a great time cropping at K2. I love the new Graphic 45 paper line that just came in a the last few weeks. The paper which is vintage and shabby chic inspired me to create this project. Smiles, Paula

{ fall memories }

I love this time of the year, it makes me think of all the wonderful childhood memories that I have of fall. Like carving pumpkins, picking apples at the orchid, racking leaves, jumping in the leaves, riding on the tractor with Dad, enjoying all of Mom's beautiful decorations and of course her yummy apple pies.

Smiles, Paula
