Introducing July 2025 Guest Designer - Penny Grimsley

Hello ScrapRoom Friends! 
We are happy to announce our
July 2025 Guest Designer
Penny Grimsley

I’ve been scrapbooking since 1994—back when stickers were flat and photos had rounded corners! Since then, I’ve filled over 100 albums with everyday moments and magical memories. I’ve designed for We Create magazine and Scrapbook Generation’s Sketch Support blog. My background includes 24 years in corporate accounting, a rewarding chapter as a stay-at-home mom, and leading a $1 million sales team as a Creative Memories Consultant for 9 years. 


These days, my favorite place to be is surrounded by paper, photos, and a good story to tell. I approach each layout with creative joy, an eye for detail, and a deep love for storytelling through design. I’m proud to be married for 38 years to my college sweetheart, and together we’ve raised two amazing sons. These days I share my craft space with our two Frenchies, Sophie and Coco. Our sweet life is a balance of traveling to make memories — and staying home to scrap them.

Penny truly knocked it out of the park with the July Flavors of the Month Kit!

 Her beautifully crafted layouts not only showcase her creative talent but also highlight just how much inspiration and value you can get from these kits. Each page is a perfect example of how to stretch your supplies while still creating something unique and eye-catching. Take a look at a few of her layouts here:

Meet Our Design Team Member: Deborah Lazar

Big news! 

Deborah Lazar

 is officially joining the ScrapRoom Design Team! Her creative spark and fresh perspective are sure to inspire, and we’re so happy to have her on board.

🌟 A Little About Deborah...
My name is Deborah and I live in the southern part of New Jersey, right outside of Philadelphia, with my husband, my teenage daughter and our 5 cats. I also have two adult sons that have already left the nest.  I have been scrapbooking for over 25 years and love it as much today as when I first started. While I mainly scrap 12x12, I also enjoy putting together mini albums and creative listing in TNs. I also love going to retreats and taking classes to learn new techniques. For me, scrapbooking is not just a hobby but it’s way of life….the photo taking and the memory keeping. 

When I am not creating a new layout, I work full time as a Construction Project Manager building retail pharmacies. I also love traveling, cooking, and shopping for new scrapbook supplies! 

Layout Inspiration:
For her first project with us, Deborah created a beautiful layout using the
Simple Stories Happy Travels Page Kit from the July 2025 Flavors of the Month kit:
and she used the July Sketch challenge:
