We have some super Guest Designers for this challenge and first up is our super, wonderfully talented Ada Nicholls.
To have been asked to be a guest designer for Scrap Africa was a total surprise and I am so honoured to be here and share my passion with you all. We all have one thing in common and that is to scrapbook!!!
Hi my name is Ada Nicholls and I live in the beautiful South Africa. I am married to Bruce and have 3 children and 4 grandchildren.
My work has been published by our local scrapbooking magazine.
I have recently been chosen to be on the design team of Let’s Scrap. It is my first attempt at being a design team member.
I am a freelance scrapbook teacher and have been for the last 8 years.
Creating layouts around my photos is just what I love doing.
Busy layouts are for me and I love adding lots of embellishments. Never to take away the emphasis of the reason for scrapbooking. My photographs!!!!
I have a LOVE of chipboard on my layouts as it gives it a bit of dimension. This layout was created to share with you today! I hope you enjoy it. Catch up with me and my activities on Face book as well as my block – http://scrapwithada’s.blogspot.com

True Random Number Generator8Powered by RANDOM.ORG Congratulations 8. Carol Peixoto , please send your details to scrapafrica@gmail.com. Many thanks again to everyone who played along! Please don't be disheartened if we have not picked your layout for the Top 3 this time, because next time it could be you!
Hi, I'm Debbi Tehrani. I'd like to start out by saying how excited and honored I am to be here at Scrap Africa as a guest designer. Such an amazing group of designers and members you have here!
I live in Frederick, Maryland, with Farzad, my husband of 31 years. We have no children, but we have two cats and three bearded dragons. Two of the beardies accompany me to school, where I teach fifth grade.
I've been scrapping for about a dozen years. I scrap 8 x 8, which is why I often include only one photo on my layouts. I love telling stories on my pages and using elements that will help to tell my stories. For me, scrapbooking is a creative outlet and a way to capture and celebrate all the random little things that make my life special and meaningful. Recently, I have been creating pages for friends who have lost loved ones. The page I made for Scrap Africa is one of these.
I love a scrapbooking challenge, and I've been on a bunch challenge design teams over the years, including Creative Scrappers, How Much Is Too Much, Sketchabilities, Creative Prompts for You, and Color Combos Galore. I also designed for Work in Progress kits and was a designer and writer forScrapbook News & Review. My pages have been published in Scrapbook Trends, Scrapbooks, Etc., and Simple Scrapbooks, as well as several online publications. I founded and create for CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration. I'd love for you to come check us out, and I welcome you to combine the sketch challenges here with CSI's Case Files.
The internet has transformed my hobby from a solitary passion to one that I can share with online friends I have made all over the world. If you'd like to see more of my work, I'd love for you to come visit my blog, Little Scraps of Magic.
