Julie.....



Hi, my name is Julie and I have been scrapping for about 12 years now! I have FINALLY developed a style (I think…LOL) and decided to make this blog….well, because we all HAVE FAVE THINGS!!!! And I thought what better way to share them but through this AMAZING art we all share!!!! I hope U all can JOIN US in this EXCITING ADVENTURE OF MINE!

Georgia.....



Georgia (a.k.a. GeVisacri), 32 y.o., Brazilian, married since 2001 to her best friend and doesn't have any kids yet. Started traditional scrapbooking in 2005 and discovered digital scrapbooking in 2008. CT member to several digital product designers such as Feifei's Stuff and Ida Designs. Loves meaningful and colorful scrapbook pages.

Deana.....



Hi, I'm Deana.... mom to Bryn & wife to Bob. I've had a love for scrapbooking and photography for most of my life. I attended a Creative Memories party about 11 years ago and really became aware of acid free products & how important it is to journal. Thankfully, my style has changed dramatically since then, but I still have a love for journaling & multi-photo layouts! Finding all of the online inspiration was a creative turning point for me as well... and now I'm officially addicted to scrapbooking & card-making. Last year we finished building my dream craft room and I can get lost creating in there for hours! When I'm not creating though, I am working-out daily. I love Zumba, Step & Spin classes at the YMCA and have run two 1/2 marathons (13.1 miles), as well as other shorter races. I love to travel all over the world, but especially love our home-away-from-home in Scottsdale. I have a thing for fashion & probably own too many clothes, shoes & handbags. I love dark chocolate, music, interior design, "date nights" & volunteering in my daughter's class at school. My favorite thing in the world, though, is being a MOM. I really am very blessed! I'm so excited to be part of this talented group of designers & think this is going to be one VERY FUN challenge blog!

Jamie.....



My name is Jamie Dougherty AKA Jaylynn. I live in Sunny Southern California. I
Love to create great memories and pieces of work, that my kids one day will be
proud of. You can find me at my blog http://jaylynnscraps.blogspot.com. I
frequent SIS, ScrapGal, A Million Memories.


Hanneke.....



Hi everybody, my name is Hanneke I come form a small town in the Netherlands! I have to amazing boys (Rick 10years & Finn  8years) a great guy, and the sweetest dog ever!!! I scrap for about 5 years now and I love it!!!!


Chris.....



Although I am a jill of all crafts and am an avid quilter, knitter, sewer, and beader, I discovered scrapbooking 3 years ago and have never quite recovered. My style is very detailed and collage oriented with lots of vintage, fabric, and items from my myriad collections - buttons, ribbons, and ephemera. As to homelife, my DH, cat, and I landed in SE Florida when we returned to the US on our sailboat a few years ago and are happily settled in a small city on the ocean. My current passion is watercolor painting which I love to use in my layouts.


Sarah.....



Hi, my name is Sarah. I live in the sunny (most of the time) state of California. Scrapbooking has always been a part of my life since my high school days, but it has recently become an everyday activity (aka. addiction)! On top of being a hobby, it helps me relax and relieve my stress. Besides, the best part about scrapping is there is no right or wrong way to do it, so I can never make a mistake at something I love! If I’m not scrapbooking, I’m probably shopping for scrap supplies or enjoying the fresh air at the beach. I don’t have any children, but I have two pets — Maui, a white Miniature Schnauzer, and Hilo, a parti Miniature Schnauzer. If I’m not scrapping my family or my friends, I’m scrapping my “kids”.

Bekka.....



Hi!  My name is Bekka, and I teach high school technology.  I've been scrapping for about five years.  I'm crazy about photography, my cute husband, my cat, and crochet.  (Not in that order, though!)  :) 



Amy.....



Somethings new, Somethings old and Somethings unique..... Three of my favorite things.... I am a happily married stay at home mom of 4 beautiful children.... I am a California native but have loved Lafayette, Louisiana since the day I arrived 9 years ago. What an awesome opportunity I have to make our memories last a lifetime with a little "scrap" in my back pocket. I would like to think I don't really have a particular scrapbook style cause with me anything goes. Scrapbooking has no rules cause it is your own personal creativity. I do love vintage everything...old books, old gadgets just somethings old.... I love the scrappy stuff that is out that is made to look old....Somethings new and I love to go on a scavenger hunt to find bits of somethings unique to use on my layouts and projects. This is my first official design team spot and I am so excited to share a little of me with you! Happy Scrappin'

Jeanet....



I'm Jeanet Kuiper from the Netherlands, 40 years young,living together with the love of my life for 17 years now...we've got a 9 year old son,Levi. Dusty,our doggie and Flappie our rabbit make our little family complete... Started scrapping 4 years ago and I totally love it,it's such a various hobby with lots and lots of different materials to use and techniques to try...it's never boring...so love to create! Guess my style is a bit shabby with lots of layering and use of paint,ink and stamps,and a bit of toughness in it.... I'm so honored Julie asked me to be a part of this Awesome Design team..so excited to work with all these lovely,talented girls!

Thanks for stopping by and HOPEFULLY we will see U all here NEXT WEEK on the 15th for our FIRST FAVE CHALLENGE! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
