TDC has always been one of those places where I feel the warmth of all the people involved.

• When were you at TDC? from 2009 to 2012
• Share a happy memory that you have of your time at TDC. Vanessa: Oh man, there are so many happy memories of this place. I have to say the happiest was getting an email from Nicole saying that she would take us in when we completely cold called her for a spot. I was so happy she took a chance with us. I also have to say that although every single person I've met at TDC has been wonderful, getting to meet Danyale (Etc. by Danyale) and Laura (Wishing Well Creations) have been somewhat of a highlight for me. Those two have an amazing mind and sense of humor. I have literally spit coffee out of my nose reading some of their comments on different threads and I'm always in awe of how savvy and creative they can be. Vivienne: Agree, the email from Nicole was a very very good email!
• Where are you selling now? (Or, if you aren't selling now, have you moved on to other passions?) We are now selling at Scrapbookgraphics.

Current TDC Designer Kelleigh Ratzlaff

Bio:

• What is your design name? I went with something super unique: Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs
• How long have you been at TDC? Since October 2008, so almost 4 years!!
• Share a happy memory that you have had here at TDC. It was probably May 2009. That was my first National Scrapbooking Day weekend, and thanks to new releases, a grab bag, the brand new Hybrid Chick blog, a template giveaway I participated in for a fundraiser, and a whole lot more exposure via advertising and blog love, my sales were more than decent. For the first time, I felt like I could actually make a little money in this crazy fun industry by doing something that I loved! It was a welcome rush of happy feelings for this stay-at-home mom hoping to help out financially at home!
• What is your favorite kit that you have in the shop right now? How can I choose just one? I love my Cupcake Shaped Box (since it's the box that put me on the map), however the one I use most often for personal gifts is probably the Standing Pillow Box.

I could look at his for hours. The time put into these, and the detail is AMAZING to me. This is the coolest thing, ever!

[chloe]

Yep, pretty much what Kate said. And I totally forgot to look for the chicks logo the first time I saw the parade, but darn, they are hard to find! Well done, LuAnn, you're a hiding pro!

[grrfluudy]

Love, love, love the floats! They are so amazing! It was fun learning designers' favorite moments, too. Thank you for all your hard work!!
