OVER TO YOU:

I have moved your entries to a post of their own, so we have more room to play! Please see here.

Let's make a start by introducing members of the design team, who will be offering you inspiration from their layouts every month.

Please welcome our design team member Jakey.  Do take a look at her blog Just Jake - (keeping all my balls in the air). Thanks for joining the team Jakey.

Here are a few words from Jakey about herself:

"Hi, I'm Jakey, and I'm very pleased to be part of Scrapology.
I've been scrapbooking for around 10 years and have recently taken up cardmaking too. I enjoy dabbling in most crafts and with a large family of four children and six grandchildren, I have plenty of inspiration for my projects. I live in Bedfordshire, close to the Chiltern Downs with my other half Carlos, my 18 year old son Vinnie, and my Chihuahua puppy, Cha Cha. When I'm not crafting I can usually be found pottering in the garden, listening to music or reading. I work four days a week as an activity Coordinator at a nursing home and enjoy lots of papercrafts with my elderly residents."

Here is a selection of Jakey's stunning layouts:

Thanks for joining us Jakey and for these lovely pictures too.
