Hello My name is Melinda! I live in Wasilla, Alaska. I have been married for 11 years. We have two little Dachshunds, which are our babies. If im not scrapbooking, Im riding motorcycles and four wheelers. I also love to take pictures, garden, and jog.
I have been scrapbooking for about 13 years and I love every minute of it. I love to organize my crafty products as much as scrapbooking. Our winters are long in Alaska, so I spend most of my winters creating all my crafty projects. |

My name is Heather Gerrits and I live in Palmer, Alaska. I am a wife of almost 8 years to Erin and a SAHM to two kidlets (Gavin,5 and Bekah,2), two cats and a dog.
I started scrapbooking over five years ago after the birth of my son, Gavin. Besides scrapbooking, I love to read (Twilight is my fave) and take pictures (which I really need to do more of!!).
My favorite scrapbooking supplies are my Martha Stewart butterfly punch, glitter and almost anything from Cosmo Cricket and Maya Road. I love to create...whether it's layouts or cards or altered items...I love being crafty!

| Lisa King, Design Team |
I'm Lisa King from Kelso, Washington. My husband and I have been married for 26 years, and we have two kids, both in college. I work as a teacher's aide at a local elementary school, a job I've been blessed to do for 13 years. And I also have two cats who think their hair should be a part of every project I create!
I've been scrapbooking since my daughter was 3 (she's 18 now). I saw a scrapbook that a friend made for her daughter, and I said, "I have to do that!" What started as stickers and a few die cuts has turned into my favorite way to relax, create and spend time with friends. I scrap mostly 8 1/2 x 11 size, but love to make mini albums, cards and creative "projects" involving paper.
When not working or scrapping, you can find me reading, watching reality TV (Survivor!) and spending time with my family. We are Disney fanatics, and a lot of my albums and layouts focus on our many trips to Disneyland. I also love the beach and hope to own a home somewhere on the Oregon Coast in the future. And I'm rarely without a cup of coffee nearby!

| Aimee M., Design Team |
I’m Aimee, and I’ve been scrapbooking for almost 14 years. I grew up in Wasilla, Alaska and still live within 20 miles of where I graduated from high school. My husband and I’ve been together for over 24 years, married for five of those. We have a 14 year old daughter and a furry kid (our boxer, who’s getting up there in years).
Scrapbooking has eclipsed all of the other hobbies I used to have, and I’m just now getting back into a few of them. I started trying to teach myself how to crochet, just so I could use cute little crocheted flowers on my layouts… When I’m not scrapping, I’m working and spending time with my family. I work with two of my best friends, and I’m lucky enough to laugh every day while I’m working. Having summers off, that’s when I do the bulk of my creating; but I manage to find time to sneak a page in on the weekends…
You can find me at my blog: optimistic scrappiness…

| Tracee Provis, Design Team |
My Name is Tracee and I live in Bristol UK with my DH our 2 youngest children & our very spoiled doggies. I am also a Grand mum to a beautiful 7 year old little girl called Star.
I have always crafted in one form or another since I was a small child from stuffed toys to knitted scarves. I was introduced to scrapping in 2004 & I have never looked back with each layout bringing more love for this hobby along with a whole group of friends who share the same love.
My family & dogs are the main focus of my work, I just love how you can turn a memory, that might otherwise be forgotten in time, into something very special indeed.
Really I'm quite a sensitive soul with a small amount of crazy thrown in, right now I am loving my scrappy journey and all the fun friendship and memories it brings everyday. With an ever changing world scrapping remains my Safe Haven & most days you will find me at some point in my craft room.
