Introducing our November 2013 Guest Designer!

Please help us welcome Yohko Takiguchi! Yohko was the international winner of our guest designer contest with Gossamer Blue. We are so excited to have her with us this month and we can't wait to share her creations with you!

My name is Yohko Takiguchi. I live in Nagoya, Japan with my husband and two sons, 12 and 13 years old. I work as a research assistant in a molecular biology lab. I started scrapbooking in 2004, for the album to celebrate the graduation of the nursery school. My style is colorful and playful.

 

 

Q: What did you have the most fun creating with and why? 

 

A: I had the most fun working with Stella Rose. I love the shabby chic color of this collection. The decorative brads are my favorite items.

Q: What is your favorite MME collection of all time?

A: My favorite MME collection is Lime Twist. I love all the color combinations and cute items of this collection. I found these so easy and fun to work with.
