We are thrilled to have ten past Studio Calico designers joining us this month in the Creative Team gallery! Each day for the next ten days, we'll be sharing a little more about each of these amazingly creative ladies—we hope you enjoy catching up with them as much as we have!

I was on the Studio Calico design team for several years from approximately 2010-2015. I can honestly say it was pure joy every month when I received my SC box! I would try to carve out a few hours to pour through each item and begin designing, as soon as I possibly could. I never opened the box when I knew I only had a short amount of time. I would even wait until 10 pm and stay up into the night so that I could savor opening the box. I found that using a monthly kit was one of the most satisfying ways to be inspired. The products always inspired me to WANT to create. I have not really scrapbooked since 2015, and I miss it! Every January I try to create a layout for each of my grandchildren, but his year I failed! I'm still going to try.

I was thrilled to be included in Studio Calico's ten-year anniversary celebration! When my box arrived, it immediately brought back the memories of receiving a box of inspiration and craving the time to get alone with that box and make things! I knew that I would create my pages for this project with photos of my youngest grandchild Maci. All ten of my other grandchildren have albums full of pages I created with not only photos and pretty paper, but my observations, hopes, and dreams for them. So now, Maci has a few pages in a book of her own!
