Note from Debbie: Since becoming President of Scrap Girls, it's been fascinating to learn about all the pieces that come together to make the website you love. What has impressed me the most is the fantastic group of women behind the scenes who make it all happen. Their skills and talents are immeasurable and as unique as they are. Meeting them has been so enjoyable for me that I want you to get to know them better, too.

President, Scrap Girls Inc.
Web Wizardry - Wendee Pease
I wanted to make sure that our new Boutique was launched before introducing you to Wendee, the Scrap Girls Webmaster, so that you would be able to see her skills first-hand. She is the one who designed and coded the sleek new look of our Boutique. "Functionality" was the word Wendee kept coming back to during our many discussions about the new look, and now we are all benefiting from her foresight.
Wendee's experience with the World Wide Web actually began when she was the moderator for a message board about organization. One day while poking around, she realized that she could change the look of her posts by using html (the main language used for displaying web pages). From there, she started reading and experimenting with html every chance she got and teaching herself everything she could about web development. Today, she not only designs websites and blogs as a consultant, but also teaches Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Illustrator at the community college near her home.
Wendee's involvement with Scrap Girls began as a customer. She and many of the other Scrap Girls in her area (the Wasatch Front Scrap Girls) began meeting for lunch regularly with Ro, the founder of Scrap Girls. Her goal was to become a designer for Scrap Girls. Some years after becoming friends with Ro, she started helping out with the newsletter and the website, but it wasn't long before she became the full-fledged webmaster for Scrap Girls. This allowed her to start learning new web-coding languages, solve all sorts of techy problems, and create a totally new look for our Boutique - but it hasn't helped her to free up any time to get her first designs into our store!
As well as being a web wizard, Wendee is also a happily married mother of three. In January, her oldest daughter, Aimee, passed away suddenly. Wendee holds a place in her heart for the Scrap Girls community, who helped her through this time with their kindness and support. She considers Scrap Girls her "happy purple place." When her designs are released later this year, they will be dedicated to Aimee, so she can share her daughter's spirit with all of you.
The next time you drop by the Boutique, think about Wendee – because she was thinking about you when she redesigned the Boutique!

High Noon Crop
Wednesday, September 19th - 12 Noon EDT
Join April (April Showers) each Wednesday at 12 Noon ET for the High Noon Crop. All coasts and time zones are welcome! These crops are designed to allow you to work on your own photos and themes, simply giving participants a one hour goal and a fun, new challenge each week.
On September 19th, we'll do a No Photo Challenge! Create a layout without any photos. Everything else is fine! Are there some things you'd like to document but you don't have photos? Try using scanned memorabilia or extensive journaling to make a memorable layout without photos.
Create your layout and upload it to the special High Noon Crop Gallery. You'll be amazed what you can get done in just one hour, but there is no High Noon Sheriff timing you! Hope to see you in the chat room!
Heritage Crop
Thursday, September 20th - 9:00PM EDT
Do you have boxes of heritage photos just waiting to be restored and scrapped? Are there family stories just waiting for you to write down and preserve? Then this is the crop for you! Join April (April Showers) at 9pm ET for the Heritage Crop and Chat! This month we'll cover ways to use products like ScrapSimple Paper Templates: Absolutely Blended to create unique backgrounds for your heritage pages. Come to the chat and get motivated to scrap those heritage photos and record your family stories for future generations to enjoy.
September's Forum Game: Simplify September
This month's Scrap Girls Forum game, Simplify September, is designed to help you get more scrapbooking done with a series of simple steps that add up to a finished project at the end of each week.
Throughout September, Monday through Saturday, a team member will post a daily layout step in the Simplify September game thread; the first week has seven steps, and the remaining three weeks have six steps each. These steps will be posted in large purple font so they will be easy to spot.
Members who complete the steps required in the game thread and post all four layouts in the Simplify September Gallery will be entered in a drawing for one of two $15.00 Scrap Girls Boutique Gift Certificates.
Each completed layout posted in the Simplify September Gallery, up to four per member, will be entered in a drawing for one of four $5.00 Scrap Girls Boutique Gift Certificates.
You have until 11:59 p.m. ET on September 30, 2012, to complete the steps and post your layouts to the Simplify September Gallery.
For complete details, visit the Monthly Forum Games folder on the Scrap Girls Forum.
