We're thrilled to announce our newest design team chefs and welcome them to The Scrappy Gourmet! Katie Watson, Jill Cornell, Elizabeth Carney, Christie Bryant and Vicki Durrington will be joining us and creating tasty dishes to tempt you! You're going to LOVE all of their work, especially Jill and Elizabeth's layouts, Christie and Katie's mini albums and altered projects and Vicki's paper piecings! We're including a small sampling showing a glimpse of their amazing talents. To view more of their work, visit their blogs and look for projects to show up soon here at TSG! Blog links are located at the bottom of our home page.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of you who submitted entries. The work was incredible! There were so many entries and unbelieveable talent that it took us much longer to reach a decision than we had originally planned. We are truly humbled and want each of you to know that we want you to continue to show us your designs by loading them into our Members Gallery so others can enjoy your inspiration.

How about a little Christmas cheer to warm your home? Take a peek at Linda Albrecht's "Christmas Wishes" House & Mini Album and you're sure to want one of your own! Hidden inside the cozy bungalow is a cheery 6-panel ringed mini album with designs on both sides. Too fun to pull out each year to reminisce. Visit our site for a complete listing of all details and materials including in this kit and view all images in our gallery under Linda Albrecht Designs.

We'd love to tempt you with 50% Off MSRP on all our ribbons and trims until the end of 2009! This includes ribbon collection sets from many manufacturers, gaffer tapes from 7-Gypsies, and all of our sold by the yard trims! Now's a great time to stock up!
