My name is Gabrielle Pollacco,
and I was introduced to scrapbooking about four years ago and fell in
love with this art form immediately. First and foremost, I love that I
can keep a record of my family's history in such a beautiful way. And
who doesn't love playing with all the new and beautiful products that
keep coming on the market!! I've been published in both Creating
Keepsakes Magazine, and in Memory Makers Magazine, and am presently on
the Design Team for Daisy d's Paper Company. I worked as a Project
Manager for a Trade Show Design company before I had my two beautiful
little girls and now am a busy "stay at home mom" who has plenty of
time to scrap thanks to my dear husband who enables me in my scrapbook
habit....errr, hobby!! :D

I am Robbie Herring,
a born and bred Texan. I've been married 20 years and have two
great kids who are my inspiration. I am a craft
junkie. I think I've tried just about everything. In addition
to scrapbooking, I enjoy sewing and painting. I have been
scrapbooking for about 2 ½ years. I started thinking that I would make
a senior album for each my kids and that would be the extent of my
involvement. I was immediately hooked! In scrapbooking, I
have found a craft that allows me to do something I love creatively and
preserve our family memories at the same time. I truly hope that
long after I'm gone, my family and descendants will look at our books
and know who we were and where they came from.

My name is Liz Qualman and I guess you could say I have been paper crafting since Kindergarten, but I officially started to scrapbook in the winter of 2007, when I blew out my knee during ski season. While I was recovering from surgery, I decided it was probably time to do something with all of the photos we had amassed of our daughter. I did what every novice scrapper should and joined an online site to learn more about scrapbooking. This was such a great opportunity to make friends with other artists and learn a ton about the industry. Almost 3 years later you can find me obsessing over paper, adhesives and embellishments, and My Creative Scrapbook has all of my favorite ingredients. I would categorize my style as Cute, Bright, Clean and Sassy, and the kits with this amazing company are just right for scrapping the two little stinkers I have at home. I live in the beautiful Rocky Mountains with my family and teach in our local school district.
Scrapbooking is my favorite way to channel my creative energy and to share ideas with others.

My name is Amanda Muirhead (aka PEIgirl). I live in central Prince Edward Island on Canada's east coast with my husband and daughter. I usually work as a legal assistant, however I am currently taking time off to spend time with my daughter.
I have been a scrapbooker for over 10 years but since the birth of my daughter in 2005 I have become passionate (obsessive!?) about it. The main reason that I scrapbook is for the love of the supplies. Ever since I was a child I have loved pretty papers, ribbons, markers, paint, ink, stamps etc. and I would collect them and hoard them. I would pull them out of the drawer to touch them and look at them but I loved my pretty things too much to use them. Scrapbooking allows me to have my cake and eat it too... I get to have all the pretty stuff and when I use it for a project, I get to keep it and still enjoy it (unless it's a gift of course!). I also scrapbook just for the creativity. I have this desire, this need to create. It is a great stress buster, a fun hobby and the obvious bonus is that I am creating something that will be enjoyed by my family for many years to come.
I have a scraproom where I spend most of my evenings after my daughter has gone sleep. Many people ask me where find the time to scrap and I have to give credit to a helpful husband who does at least half the chores (if not more) and helps with cooking and taking care of our daughter.

Hi there. I'm Sandie Vincent and I am from the UK. I have been married for 12 years now and we have 3 children who are usually the main focus of my scrapbook pages, though lately I have started scrapping more random things.
I started scrapbooking in July 2005 after being convinced by a friend that I should have a go. At the time I was adamant not to try a new craft as I was already hooked on cardmaking. Well, I went along to a class that my friend was teaching, and was instantly addicted. I now have many albums full of wonderful memories, and I can't think of a better way to display my photos, and have a real passion for patterned papers and anything that sparkles. My hobby has also drawn me in to the world of family history, and spent a few years researching mine and my husbands ancestral roots.
I am honored and proud to be part of such a talented team here at My Creative Scrapbook and hope that I can inspire others using the fabulous kits, and my designs.

Hello!! My name is Julie Bonner & I live in Crownsville, Maryland. I am a SAHM to my adorable 2 year old son, Ryan, and have been married to my husband, Justin, for 6 wonderful years! I have always enjoyed preserving pictures, cards, newspaper clippings, and mementos in albums but it wasn't until the birth of my son that I threw myself completely into all the wonderful products & techniques the industry has to offer. I love to use hand-sewing, inking, pen detail, stamping, and distressing techniques to add that perfect touch to my projects - while still maintaining a focus on photos. Scrapbooking has been a gift that allows me to preserve my family's precious memories while providing me with a satisfying, creative outlet. I also LOVE creating sketches & currently run a weekly sketch challenge site called 52 Sketches 52 Weeks. I am honored and so very excited to be a Design Team Member for My Creative Scrapbook.

My name is Delaina Burns and I live in a small town in Alabama with my husband of almost 25 years and our two children. Simon is 18 years old and began his first year of college this fall. Anna is 16 years old and is in the 11th grade. I am surrounded by a large extended family, and you will see many of their faces featured on my pages and projects.
I have enjoyed making things with my hands for as long as I can remember. I am a self taught seamstress and have operated a successful custom drapery and bedding business from home for more than 12 years. This job has enabled me to be home for my family, while working and helping provide for them.
I began scrapping 3 years ago, after receiving an assignment from my daughter's cheer coach to make a scrapbook of the season's events. Though very unhappy with the assignment, I persevered and made a few pages. The bug bit and I have never looked back. My love for the craft and the crafters I have met along the way has changed my life. I encourage everyone I know and/or meet to give scrapbooking a try.
I design for, and teach at my LSS, Sweet Memories in Carrollton, Georgia. I have been published by and was on staff with Scrapbook News and Reviews for 10 months. I will have my first paper publication in Scrapbook Trends magazine in January 2010. I am so excited to be added to the team here at MCS. I am happy to work along side this talented group of ladies and to get to know all the fabulous members here.

I am the 47-year old mother of four children, ages 14, 12, 10 and 8. Yes, I know I got started late in life having children, but that was God's plan for our lives. That makes being a mother just that much sweeter to me. I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Mike, for 28 years. When I'm not working at home, I am a legal assistant for a local attorney and love my job. I really enjoy relieving stress with a nice, hot, sweaty jog.
I started scrapping 5years ago when I returned from a dream trip to Hawaii. I knew I wanted a scrapbook of my trip, so I picked up an idea book at my local scrapbook store and scraplifted my very first page. Since then, I haven't met a patterned paper I didn't like. I love making use of the patterned papers by cutting out elements in each pattern to embellish my page. I take my Nikon D80 with me everywhere and my kids' friends even pose for me now.
I am so thrilled to be part of the team here at MCS! There are so many talented scrappers, not only on the team, but on the site itself. This is a privilege, and I am so excited.

Hello! My name is Julie Howard and I live in Gainesville, Florida with my three furry children - Sketch, Catilla the Hon, and Easter. Basically, I'm a big dork with a passion for scrapping. Using my own terminology, I consider my scrapping style Funky Traditional. I love working with bright colors and have a major fondness for anything with a retro flair. I also love to inject humor into my pages and titles. In my case, a picture is worth a thousand giggles. I began scrapbooking in the Fall of 2006. It was during a mountain vacation that I decided to do something with all of the photos that I was taking on the trip. So I made arrangements with a friend to take a Scrapbooking 101 class once I'd returned home. It was a two hour class... 20 minutes in, I was hooked! I’ve been published in Memory Makers, Scrapbooking & Beyond and Scrap N’ Art. I'm so very happy to be a part of My Creative Scrapbook's design team! There are so many talented artists on the team and it's those artists who continue to inspire me to improve my own craft.
