We decided we should round out the October Afternoon design team with a twelth member and when we saw her fun, whimsicle style, we knew Marcy Penner would be the perfect addition! So, today we introduce you to Marcy!
My name is Marcy Penner. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to be a tiny part of October Afternoon! I've loved this company from the very beginning and you'd be hard-pressed to find many of my layouts that don't have something from this company on them!
I'm a pretty simple girl. I married my high school sweetheart and we have three kidlets. For the last 11 years we've been living on the family farm and renovating a 120 year old farmhouse in Canada. Yes. Still renovating! ;) Back in the day I earned my Bachelor of Education degree, but an artistic life has always been calling my name. I'm always busy doing something creative... photography, scrapbooking, decorating... you name it! I love that scrapbooking combines so many of my hobbies into one! It's the perfect fit.
Thanks for the opportunity to inspire you all and I can't wait to see what you guys all share as well.

On another note, we are putting together many fun new features for Wednesdays and today we want to introduce you to Reader Spotlight. We just love when our blog readers share with us all the fun they have been up to with our product and we want to share it with you too!
We were completely inspired by these projects from Kim Jeffress, and we hope you will be as well.
Kim really rocked the Campfire line. That little wild card banner in the corner is so clever!
This "Beach Bum" layout is adorable. What a cute photo!
Wild cards are always the perfect touch for cardmaking.
Kim says, "I created these projects as part of my Design team pack from Handmade with Suzanne an online shop here in Australia. OA is definitily my favourite manufacturor, I love how everything coordinates perfectly!!! Especially for my little boy pages as thats what I mainly scrap...my fav collection is the upcoming rocket age collection, I am hanging out for it to hit the shops here in Australia. My four year old is mad about anything SPACE, I have about 8 sets of photos just waiting for this collection to arrive. Thanks for this chance to be sharing some of my OA creations."

Now we want to ask YOU...what kinds of features would you like to see on Wednesdays?
