Back in September, when we were choosing our new Design Team, we had a group of talented designers that we just couldn't pass up. So we added a special team of On-going Guest Designers, that will joining us here on the blog throughout the year, along with the rest of our Design Team. Each month, we will feature two of these designers, which means they'll each be joining us three times over the next year. I'm excited to introduce you to our first two fabulous designers, Diane Payne and Charity Hassel.
Hello everyone! I’m Diane Payne, and I reside in the big state of Texas with my wonderful husband of 22 years and our two teenage children. Although I love recording the details of our life, I enjoy the creative process of scrapbooking as much as the memory keeping. I like to experiment with different techniques and incorporate photos into our home décor. I scrapbook with a variety of photo styles, including current, vintage, and Hipstamatic prints. My favorite tool for journaling is my vintage 1930's Underwood typewriter which is also used as decor in the entry way of my home.

"Apple Crisp", by Diane Payne.
When I saw the adorable apples in the Finally Fall line I knew they would be perfect for documenting one of my favorite childhood desserts that was passed down from a long time family friend.
I wrote the recipe out on the recipe card from the Cute Cuts sheet and tucked it behind the photo.
I secured the recipe card and photo together with a paper clip glued to the back of the chipboard apple from the Ciao Chip Icons.
Supply List
Finally Fall: At the Patch, Bliss, Leaf Pile, Apple Holler, Cute Cuts, Borders, Quadrants, Alpha & Bits Stickers, Just Write Journaling Stickers, Miniature Stickers, Ciao Chip Icons
"Little Stinkers", by Diane Payne.
This photo of my kids from 2001 captures their personality at that time perfectly. To highlight the photo I enlarged it 8x12 and added cut out hearts, clouds and word stickers accents right on top of the photo. I love how the brighter colors of the Finally Fall line complement my special photo.
