Guest Blogger, Angela Ploegman

Please give a warm welcome to next week's guest blogger, Angela Ploegman. She is an accomplished paper-crafter and the author of the creative blog, Angela Ploegman Designs. Stop by to say "hi" and find plenty of project ideas. Introducing Angela...

I live in Bettendorf, IA with my husband of 11 years and my 7 year old son and 3 year old monster, oops, I mean daughter! I started scrapping in 1999 when I moved to the area from (beautiful, spacious and a tad bit cold) Canada. I have a degree in Chemistry (yes, I'm a certified NERD) and an MBA that I use by day as a lab manager for a paint company. In addition to my passion for paper crafting, I enjoy cooking, baking and a good cup of coffee (Starbucks anyone?)

My crafting style is best described as simple, layered and linear. I enjoy mixing patterned paper and though I do use a variety of techniques on my projects, the focus is always on making them fast and easy (as I don't have a lot of spare time!) I have been published in a variety of idea books and magazines including Scrapbooks Etc., Scrapbook Trends, Cards, Simply Handmade, Stamping, Scrapbooking and Stationary, Memory Makers and Scrapbooking Memories. Please stop by my blog Angela Ploegman Designs or visit me on Facebook! Can't wait to share some crafty goodness (and a recipe) with everyone next week!!

Cheers! Angela Ploegman
