Ashley (USA)
Aloha! I am Ashley, 27,
military wife (USAF) and 2 little ones call me Mommy! I have a son who
is 5 and a daughter who is 3. We are currently stationed at Joint Base
Pearl Harbor Hickam, Hawaii. That is a mouth full, I know! We just call
our side of the base Hickam. I am also currently pursuing a degree in
Elementary Education! If you were to take a peek at my previous layouts,
you would see that my children
are the focus of my pages. I scrap for them and I scrap because of
them. I started when my son was about 7 or 8 months old and my passion
has grown over the years. I love a great challenge forcing me to go
outside of my comfort zone and use things I wouldn't normally use, which
is why I am beyond excited to be on this team!
Bel (Australia)
Hello
my name is Belinda Woods. I am a very proud army wife and stay at home
mum to our 4 adorable children, Currently living in Queensland,
Australia.
Besides
doing the cooking, cleaning and washing, I have to go to the gym
everyday as it helps keep me calm and of course I love to scrapbook.
I
love to use patterned papers, ink and chipboard and very rarely get a
page done in a day but I’m lucky to have a desk that is set up
permanently so that I can keep coming back to my pages and tinker with
them when I get a spare second or two.
Brenshevia (USA)
Hello
all! My name is Brenshevia. I am the mother of 2 adult children and
grandmother of 3. I started scrapping back in 2007 when I was
introduced to it by my God sister. She told me about how she scrapped
and how fun it was. I became so interested that I came home and tried my
hand at it and loved it! The rest as they say is history. As you will
see, my grand babies are the primary subject of my pages, I LOVE
scrapping those faces! I don’t really have a style per se; I pretty
much scrap the moment so my page could be clean and simple or elegant
and elaborate. Each year I try to incorporate something new into my
style in order to grow. Please allow me to share my life's journey in
pictures with you, by visiting me at Paper Memories.
Diana (Canada)
Hello everyone! I'm absolutely thrilled to be on the design team for
"1-2-3 Get Scrappy" and I'm looking forward to all the fun challenges.
Along with a good challenge, I love paper, design, tidy spaces, scrapbooking, chocolate, bright
colours, did I say scrapbooking?? LOL! ,
my girlfriends, flowers, reading, writing, but most of all my husband, son and puppy and the wonderful life we have together!
I can't wait to start playing and I really hope you plan on joining us!!! You can find out a bit more about me at www.dianasscrapbookingblog.wordpress.com
Elina (Finland)
My name is Elina, and I’m a scrapbooker, card maker, paper crafter, and photographer from southern Finland. Scrapbooking has played an important role in my life for four years now. Summer 2009 I was browsing through internet and paper crafting blogs looking for card inspiration, and landed on a Finnish scrapbooking challenge site. I had no idea what the thing was about, but I decided to give it a try. And got hooked right away!
The busier my work days are at the office, the more time I try to allocate to my favorite hobbies. After a hectic day I love to get my hands messy with inks and gesso. Being able to take even a short moment to myself and create something beautiful and tangible is very important to me. And I have realized that scrapbooking is the best way to keep work stress away!
I’ve been married for 10 years and we have two children aged 5 and 7. I love photographing my kids, and documenting our daily life on my layouts is an important part of my hobby. My kids don’t mind being in front of the camera, and you will see many pictures of them in my layouts.

Elizabeth ~ "Lizzie" (Canada)
My name is Liz. I am the wife of a wonderful and supportive man who
I've known since I was 15 and have been best friends with ever since. I
have 3 amazing daughters who keep me busy and feeling blessed. I am a
science nerd and have spent a great deal of my life in the science
profession. I have had a passion for photography and preserving
memories since I was a kid and have been a year book editor both in
high school and university to share this passion with others. I took
this passion to scrapbooking
over 10 years ago and have been loving it ever since. I have no idea
how to describe my style of scrapbooking other than I love layers and
colour! I love to dabble in many different styles and try new things!
If I were granted 3 wishes, one of them would be to be able to sing.
Heidi (New Zealand)
Hi, my name is Heidi, I am 43 years old and married to my
high school sweetheart. We have two beautiful daughters - Abigail (Almost
18) and Emma (just turned 12). We are originally from South Africa but
immigrated to New Zealand in 2000, lived in Auckland for 10 years before moving
down to Christchurch in 2010. I work full time as
a Customs Broker for one of leading Freight Forwarding companies in New
Zealand.
I started scrapping after our first trip to the snow
have have not looked back since. I love the creative outlet it gives
me and all the gorgeous products. I have been several design teams
before, Scrapbook Studio where I taught classes in Auckland and then down in
Christchurch at Scrappin Patch as well as a challenge site called Challenge Me
Happy.
My Scrapbooking style - I love
any type of style - from pretty, lots of white space, to arty. Anything
that has colour, texture and a photo, I love using mists, paint, and I love
trying new things.
Lynne (USA)
I started scrapping in the early ‘90s,
and although I enjoyed the process, I made very few layouts. It took me 5 years
to get one album done! Fast forward to 2004; a divorce and a major move back to
Florida, changed all of that. Funny how, my scrapbook supplies were the only
arts & crafts items that I brought with me. I worked on a few pages during
the next few years, but concentrated more on home decorating, sewing, and
floral arranging. While out shopping one day, I picked up a magazine that
inspired me to venture into a new art form – collages. Still working on that
one! Of course, if you are making collages, you need pretty papers, stamps,
inks, all of the lovely supplies you need to do scrapbooking! At about the same
time, my daughter, Ashley, announced that she was pregnant. Well, that was
it….I had to document her pregnancy and the baby shower, and the birth, and the
footprints, and the smile, and the…….everything!!! Now, I’m hooked! Scrapping has become a way of life for
me. Not only is it my creative outlet and escape, it has also helped me to
regain some sanity in my hectic life. I’m always looking for new ideas and
techniques to try out, and to pass on. And I welcome the challenge to get out
of my comfort zone, which is romantic chic, whether it’s grunged up, shabby chic,
retro or classic, it’s definitely my go-to style. The last few years have been very
exciting for me, with several scrappy surprises!! My layout, ‘Mr. Bunny’ was featured
on the Webster’s Pages Ning Site. I had
a GDT spot for Graphic 45, Flying Unicorn and Scraps of Elegance, as well as DT
positions at Snobby Walrus, Posh Design Scrapbook Store and at Scrapbudz. I am
currently on the DT for Twisted Tuesday and Flying Unicorn. I have learned so much
and have been inspired by many scrappers & crafters, and I am looking
forward to learning & sharing more!!

Raechelle (USA)
My name is Raechelle (pronounced like Rachel) Bellus. I live in
beautiful Spokane Valley, WA with my husband of nearly 15 years. We have
a big blended family of 6 beautiful children; five girls ages 13, 17,
18, 22, and 22 as well as a boy who is 23. Our wonderful family is
blossoming; we have a daughter-in-law, a son-in-law, a grandson, and our
first granddaughter is due to arrive in October. We also have 2 dogs
and 4 cats.
I work part time in a lumberyard. It is a physical
job, however I do spent a lot of time at a desk doing reports and data
entry in addition to handling the lumber.
I have been scrapping
for about 12 years now. I enjoy creating layouts most often, but do
enjoy making cards as well, and an occasional off the page item.
I enjoy hanging out with my family, reading and working puzzles.
I am excited to be a part of the 1-2-3 Get Scrappy team!
and then there's me....
Melina (USA)
the founder and owner of this little ole blog
I live in Alabama with my husband Brandon and kiddos, Aaron (13) and Bethany (9).
I have been scrapping for 15 years. I fell in love with it when I
attended a Creative Memories party with a friend. I also like making
cards and mini albums but scrap pages are my first love. I tend to scrap
in chronological order....I'm kinda OCD that way. I feel so
accomplished when I finish an album, even though I know there are 300
pics waiting to go in the next one! LOL
