Elle's Studio: September Guest Designer : Susan Weinroth

We are switching things up on the blog today and introducing our September Guest Designer before the gallery goes live tomorrow!

We are absolutely thrilled to have Susan Weinroth on board with us this month! She has such a fabulous scrapbooking style that is always so inspiring! We've been a fan of her work for quite some time now, so we feel honored to have her working with our products!

We asked Susan a few questions so we could all learn a little bit more about her, take a peek!

Name: Susan Weinroth
Location: Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
Blog: http://www.susanweinroth.typepad.com
Twitter: @susanweinroth

Why did you start scrapbooking and how did you get started?
I first started in 2000 - my sister introduced me to lots of stickers and premade frames all just stuck on a page(!) - and then in 2004 adopted my current (evolving) style of page design.

What are three products you can't live without?
Circle punches, patterned paper, and my sewing machine.

What is your favorite color combination?
Aqua and ANYTHING - right now it's usually orange.

Do you record every moment or just special ones?
I like to create pages with the photos that I LOVE - and I usually want the page to tell a story, or to remember a little memory, that I don't want to go otherwise go unforgotten (but that we all know so easily can in the crazy-busy lives that we all lead).

What are your three favorite Elle's Studio items?

Would you like a chance to win Susan's favorite Elle's Studio products? We'd love to give them to one lucky winner! Just leave a comment below and we'll select one commenter at random to receive Susan's three favorite Elle's Studio products. Comment must be posted by 11:59p on Saturday, September 24th, 2011.

And, stay tuned for tomorrow! We've got an amazing Inspiration Gallery coming your way... you're going to LOVE it!
