ValerieT Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 This week, we want to celebrate our designers, so we’ve asked each of them five short questions to help you get to know them a little better. But wait! What’s a celebration without prizes? After you “meet” our designers below, head on over to each of our new designer’s store, browse through their store, and pick your favorite collection or item. Then come back to this thread and post a link to the item or the product preview (while on the product page, right-click and choose to save the image). Tell us what you would scrap with the item or what you love about it. On Saturday 1st July, we will come back to this thread and choose one lucky person who will win the item of their choice! But First let's get to know Cheri Thieleke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieT Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Cheri Thieleke How long have you been designing? I began making sketches for the sketch chat in 2010 or 2011, soon after joining the Layout Artist team. When a call was placed for new designers, I marketed myself as a template-only designer and was hired in 2012. Since then, I have branched out a little, but still consider myself mostly a template designer. What is your favorite item to design? Easy-peasy question - layout templates! It's so much less overwhelming to begin scrapbooking with a template. I love providing customers with a wide variety from which to choose. Where do you get your inspiration? My own layouts, advertisements, art, and even packaging at the store. If you could visit one place, where would it be? Italy. I've been to Rome and Venice, but would love to explore the entire country! Florence or the Cinque Terre are next on my list. If you could be a superhero, what would your superpower be? My super power would be curing cancer. It's such a devastating disease, from robbing people of their health to ruining their finances; I just want to be able to fix it all. If not designing, what is your favorite pastime? My favorite pastime is reading. I can lose myself in a book for hours upon hours, and even as an adult, I have a hard time hearing my own family members talk to me if I'm engrossed in a book.

ValerieT Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 For Cheri I would pick ScrapSimple Digital Layout Album Templates: 12x12 One Hit Wonder Mini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyW Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Ok Cheri! You, me and Amanda....we are going to have to make plans for an Italy trip Absolutely love all your templates and have no idea how you keep coming up with something fresh and new all the time. But I couldn't pass up the chance to post your Penguin Collection, they are soooo adorable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-M Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 What a great variety of template styles in Cheri's store. As I enjoy using stitching on layouts this set caught my eye and I think I really really would like to own it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishrose Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I love Cheri's Bright Ideas Collection. My eldest DGS is definitely favouring science over the arts so I think the contencts of this collection will come in very useful in years to come.

Florida granny Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hi Cheri, We already know a little about you since you are so good about participating in the forum. However, I enjoyed reading even more about you! Among other wonderful products, Cheri makes super templates. I've used this one for a photo book and it turned out great! I've also used parts of it in one-page layouts. I love the photo arrangement, and the stitching adds a lot of interest. So here's my favorite Cheri template: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolynKite Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I love these embellishments The whole collectioni is fab, but these are wonderful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLo1103 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I always think of Cheri as our Template Queen! Although I am horribly behind on my Project 52, but when I am ready to catch up Cheri's templates are what I'll reach for! But with kids home for the summer, I probably will NOT be doing much catching up until September... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I am addicted to templates and Cheri is my hero! All of her template sets are my favorite, but since I used these on several years' worth of SG 52 albums, I'll share these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figment Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Cheri's branching out products are so fun; I also love the penguins. But this one caught my eye. Very pretty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilary, I'm so glad you like that one - it was my first "branching out" product, and I may have almost done myself in trying to accomplish it, hehehehe (and I may have tried Angie's patience a little too, lol).
