We are so happy to have Kimberly Neddo as our guest designer for Makin' the Grade. If anyone would know a lot about back to school, it would be this mother of 6. Kimberly's blog banner is tribute to all of her kids, so we thought she would be a great fit for sharing some of her school moments. But before we share her work, we asked her a few questions to get to know her better.
LYB: What is your ‘go to’ embellishment?
KN: Twine or some kind of string. Love what it adds to a page.
LYB: What kind of music gets you in the scrappin’ mood?
KN: Hip hop and Pit bull…LOVE to create with Pitbull and his remixes in the background.
LYB: Do you have a favorite quote?
KN: Integrity is doing the right thing, when no one is watching.
We really love how Kimberly used our Makin' the Grade paper flower kit. The sprawling flowers are great to mix with sentiments, but don't add too much clutter.
Kimberly also added one of our signature clear cut shapes to her page and made a fun banner cluster.
The grays in this collection are such a great color to ground the brighter, primary colors. Here Kimberly paired yellow accents which pop off of the gray patterned paper and make the beautiful photo stand out front and center.
We love how personalized Kimberly's journaling is and how she uses her own handwriting on her pages.
Please visit Kimberly's blog Capturing the Moments for more about her and inspiration from her work. She'll be back next Friday with another project to share...
Have a wonderful and crafty weekend!

Such a great page! I love the brown background to really offset the cute embellishments. I finally got my Making The Grade papers from my LSS (had to convince her to get it!!!) and would love to share my page

Wow, I am so disappointed that LYB didn't participate in a make-n-take booth this year at Archivers Scrapfest 2012. What a cute new set for school projects! Everyone has been talkin about LYB having no booth! Scrapfest is totally going downhill. Even worse to see your favorite companies teaching a class to only a few people at Scrapfest and not letting everyone experience their new products. Only so many can get into a certain class. It feels like you have been cheated or that one small group of people who got into the class are being favored with the chance to see new paper line vs everyone getting to have the chance to create, see the newest designs first hand, even more fun, talking to the designers there interacting with the scrapfest patrons. Meeting the people behind your favorite paper line really makes it so much more personal! Even if it is just a few
Minutes while making a make-n-take. Last year at Scrapfest I didn't get to make any of their projects because they ran out of their supplies each day. I was so hoping to get a chance to make something this year. In the past years LYB projects have been some of the nicest. The Fall project pkg with couple papers and stickers inside ( it was given out couple yrs ago) it was amazing! I made several two page layouts from it. I used every last piece of it. The paper were of such great quality! That paper really secured LYB as a top notch brand. Last year left a bad taste in many peoples mouths when they weren't able to do a project because they ran out, and now no chance this year!
