- Come On Get Crafty

Happy Friday everyone! Please join me in welcoming our Featured Guest, Jennifer Ciriano, here at the Come On Get Crafty blog today!

Hi, my name is Jennifer Ciriano. I'm from Brooklyn, NY and must confess that I am a very proud "Brooklynite". I'm the wife to an amazing man and a mom to three awesome kids. I am happy to be a SAHM again, after working in the medical field. Being a homemaker now allows me to have more time for my family and to scrap and study photography.

I have been crafting since before I can remember. My mom enjoyed several crafts at home, so I was brought up around it. Through the years I have tried a lot of different crafts, but as an adult I found my true love...scrapping. I have been scrapbooking for well over a decade now. It all started with some card store baby albums, a scrapbook kit from my mom, and some episodes of the Carroll Duvall show. This eventually led me to find the wonderful online scrapbooking community, which opened up a whole new scrapbook world for me. In earlier years, I enjoyed paper piecing and I secretly wish it was still popular, but what gave me my real love for this hobby is how aware it made me of life and life's moments. I love that I can sit down with pretty supplies and remember all of our past moments. This also gives me another chance to be grateful for all of them. Scrapbooking also jump-started me with Project Life TM this year. I now wish I would have started earlier. Project Life TM allows everyday events to be recorded, that we wouldn't otherwise remember.

I wouldn't say that I have a definitive style. I like to try a lot of different trends with my layouts. It keeps it fun and interesting. Currently, I like happy colors.

I am over the moon happy to be a guest designer here on the Come On Get Crafty blog and I want to thank Nicole and Adrienne for this exciting opportunity!

I am so inspired by Jennifer's layout! I just adore those triangles and that title...wow! To see more of Jennifer's beautiful work, visit her blog at http://www.jenns-doodles.blogspot.com.

Thanks so much for stopping by...have a great day!
