Design Team Introduction: Cindy Shipman

Hello Scrapdoodle fans. My name is Cindy Shipman and I'm excited to be apart of the Scrapdoodles design team. I've been scrapbooking for over 15 years and have seen a lot of changes in the scrapbook world during that time. I've had a few of my cards published in years past. I've taught classes in the past and have been on a few design teams. In 2006 I joined the Little Black Dress Designs crew. I was apart of their design team and was given the opportunity to teach at a few CHA's & ScrapExpos.

I have been married for over 19 years to a wonderful Naval Officer, Brian. We have 2 beautiful kids, Mason 17 and Paige 14. We also have a 7 year old Golden Retriever named Arleigh Burke.

My first layout I did was a Patriotic theme but with my lovely husband who, as you can see, is in the Military. I used mostly Karen Foster and Maya Rd.

This is my niece and I used a mix of several products including Creative Imaginations, Making Memories, Queen & Company and SEI. I colored in a few of the "O's" to make them stand out on the background paper.

This album was a lot of fun to make! I used a majority of My Mind's Eye Penny Lane with some Jenni Bowlin and a few odds and ends from my vintage collection.

Thanks for stopping by....
Cindy
