Sherry Ferguson Designs

It seems a while since I have featured another member of our design team here at ScrapMatters. Today the spotlight is on Sherry Ferguson of . . . Sherry Ferguson Designs! She will tell you all about that design name too!

“Hi, my name is Sherry Ferguson and I live with my wonderful family in Texas. We recently left our home of 11 years and moved about an and hour and a half from our old town into a brand new one. We really love it here but still miss our friends and family that we don’t get to see as often. My family consists of my myself and my husband, who I met at all places, when we were both working at Wal-mart while we were in college. I had a good job at a bank before that, butf because my school schedule conflicted with my classes I had to make a change. So, thanks to the conflicting schedule, I met my husband of almost 13 years. We have two daughters who are 11 and 9. The move has been a little difficult for them but they are adjusting well. They are great girls, but with the teenage years just around the corner, I get nervous at times.  I know they are going to grow into beautiful young women but my job as a mom is just going to get a little harder for awhile

I started designing back in 2005. I had been trying to “decorate” some of my digital photos with clipart and such to make a scrapbook when a friend introduced me to the actual world of digital scrapbooking. I tried and tried to make a layout like one I had seen but had no luck. I eventually went to the bookstore and bought a book about digital scrapbooking that was actually more about designing and I became hooked. I get inspired by lots of pretty things: my girls, fabrics, inspiration boards, and more. I use PSCS, Ilustrator, and occasionally ArtRage. My style has remained pretty consistent over the years. I really love the paper look but I have been constantly learning and improving and I will admit that the kit I made for my feature here is my favorite yet. I guess my design name could have been more creative, but back in 2005, most everyone just used their real names…lol.”

Sherry chose a few of her favorite layouts using her designs.  Here is Pretty as a Picture by Tinci using Pretty as a Picture.

I just love this layout Sherry chose by Mother Bear named Reader, using Sherry’s mini kit Reading Room

Sherry made you this beautiful kit for her featured designer spot. The kit is free with a purchase of $10 in the ScrapMatters store, March 8-14.

Here are a couple of layouts from the SM creative team.
