Introducing our October Guest Designer

Greeting, scrappy friends. Is everyone out there scrapping away this weekend, or are you outside, trying to taking advantage of the last warm days of the year before fall sets in? Hopefully none of you are in places impacted by Hurricane Helene. Our hearts go out to all those who have experienced flooding and loss of property and loved ones.

 

Tomorrow is the start of our new batch of challenges, so today we want to introduce our October Guest Designer. She is a repeat participant who loves to play along with our challenges, and we can't wait to showcase her work! Please help us welcome Connie.

October GDT Connie

Hello! I'm Connie Corrigan and I'm excited to be a guest designer for October. I've been married to my husband Jim for over 27 years and we have a fur-baby cat named Murphy (she's 14 1/2). I've been scrapbooking since my niece was born in 2000 and my sister declared we needed to get our heritage in books for her. I love following sketches to create my pages but I'll use all sorts of prompts. I have a full-time job at a local community college (we live just north of Philadelphia, PA). When not working or scrapbooking you can usually find me in a national park as I attempt to visit the over 400 units (parks, battlefields, national monuments, etc.) across the country. At last count, I'm at 169! My blog, Nothing Witty, highlights those travels. I hope you stop by: https://cmcorrig.blogspot.com/

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. Please come back tomorrow when we start the first of four fall-inspired challenges!
