Dearest May,
.....where do I begin... such an interesting and insightful talent in our industry. One of the greatest things about May is she has carved out her own little corner in the scrapbook industry and flourished! She has been in all realms of scrapbooking, retail, design, publishing, etc but, I think her true calling is her priceless ability to teach and pass this hobby on. Listen in to our interview, its a long one you may have to break it up, (May's a talker! just another reason I love this girl!) and hear a little about her paperlife journey and a lot about what she has planned for us this summer! You don't want to miss scrap camp with May:
So here is just some of what May and I spoke about in the interview:

Also fInd May Here:
and here is just a sneak peek at some of May's creative goodness, I will share more later in the week!
May just does eclectic so well, and she is really good about putting on that feminine twist to make it hers. Loved having you on May, hope to do it again real soon. Thanks for all you do to share your paperlife with us and for teaching and encouraging this hobby! You Rock!
Remember you only have until Sunday midnight CST to leave a comment for May's 2 fantastic giveaways so, leave her one on this post and check back here next Monday to see if a scarlet lime kit will be showing up at your front door or if you you will have a seat in the highly anticipated BPS class May is teaching, Camp Scrap. EEEKK! Either one would rock my paperlife how bout yours?
Hugs, Amy

May is so sweet! She came to my former LSS one time with her daughter and was such a doll. Loved meeting her and having her there.
It would be absolutely spectacular to be a winner of either of these fabulous prizes. I think I should go make a mess with my paper fun stuffs now! :)
