The Shabby Girls are pleased to welcome our TWO sponsors - Bugaboo Stamps and Paper Sweeties!
As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!
If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

I am pleased to introduce you all to this week's Guest Designer, Lauren Bergold - All The Good Blog Names Were Taken! Lauren earned this Guest Designer spot for her win in the Tea Room during the Week #127 challenge - 'For The Love of Books'.
And, on a personal note, Lauren's card this week has got to be the 'most special' card we've ever spotlighted here in the Tea Room! Among all of the talented people that grace our blog pages here daily, you may be wondering why I said that. Well, Lauren lives in New Jersey, which, as most of you all know, was ground zero for the land falling Hurricane Sandy which came ashore last week and caused such total devastation along the Jersey Shore and the New England Seaboard. Lauren's home was spared from any of the horrific damage that we've all been seeing on TV, but she has been without power for six+ days as of when this post goes live, so it's truly incredible that she was still able to make a card to participate as our guest this week! Lauren shared with me the heroic efforts she went through to take her crafty supplies to her mom's house - about 30 minutes away - who still has power. There she was able to complete her card, photograph it and blog about it. Now ... if that is not a 'die hard' crafter, I don't know what is! THANK YOU, Lauren, for sharing your passion and creativity with us all this week in the Tea Room! I hope you all pop on over to Lauren's blog and leave her a little bit of love ... I am sure it will brighten her dark, and electric-less day :) I'm praying that the powers to be can restore your electricity soon, Lauren, so you can begin to make strides to get things back to normal!!
And some more beautiful inspiration from our November Special MONTH-LONG Guest Designer ... Maria Patrick - Maria's Merry Makings!
