Lasting Impressions: Scuffers, that's right I said Scuffers! They are the latest from Lasting Impressions. They are flower shaped sanding pads. I love to use mine to sand papers, embellishments and anything else I need to scuff up while scrapping. They are easy to use and easy to store. It helps to get rid of all of that ugly sand paper lying around your scrap area. It has 3 scuffers in a package all in pastel colors. They are very cute and very helpful. Keeping Memories Alive Sarah Heidt: If you are into tiles and tags, than these are perfect for All My Memories: Carolee's Creations: Looking for Sports papers? Gymnastics or even bridal shower accents? Have you looked at Carolee's creations latest lines? They have just released a special new line focused on those hard to find sports related papers!

S p o t l i g h t ! Featuring Shaker Member : JESS SCHERR !
Jessica lives in MN with her husband and daughter, Taylor. Besides being a wife and mother, Jessica works as a payroll manager for a major construction company. As if that weren’t enough, Jessica has started her own photography business. She hopes to one day be able to make this business a full time career. When Jessica isn’t busy with her family, scrapbooking or photography, she enjoys knitting, reading, listening to music and watching football. Although Jessica has been scrapbooking for almost 5 years, it wasn’t until she was making her own wedding invitations and was referred to a store called Archivers that she found a true love for scrapbooking. From the moment she stepped in and saw all the amazing papers, stickers and embellishments, she was hooked. Although Jessica appreciates various styles of layouts, she finds herself drawn mostly to the more simpler styles with fun colors. Although, Jessica loves to use blues and browns, she always finds herself drawn to using black somewhere on her layouts. When I asked Jessica what her favorite technique was, she replied, “Anything that involves ribbon – I seem to use this on almost every layout.” Jessica loves to participate in challenges and set goals for her scrapbooking. When asked about them, she stated, “I have a very busy life right now and by setting these goals, I make myself sit down and take some relaxing time to myself and scrapbook.” Jessica likes to scrap in her scraproom/spare bedroom so she can get some of that relaxing time. Sounds like a great plan to me! When I asked Jessica what she felt her biggest scrapbooking accomplishment has been so far, she said, “…having one of my layouts requested by PaperKuts magazine to be printed in their Scrapbooking Boys and Girls book to be released Feb. 2005” What a wonderful accomplishment! Thank you Jessica for becoming a part of The Shaker Box community! Please visit Jessica’s gallery today to find some great inspiration!! Please visit Jess's gallery today to truly be inspired.
