I have been an avid scrapbooker for over 10 years. I loved it so much that when given an opportunity to start a retail business in something I enjoyed, I chose Scrapbooking. I ran a very successful scrapbook business for over three years. My style of scrapbooking is one of clean lines. My favorite scrapbooking subject is my granddaughter Natalie. Natalie is very well known in this area since my layouts have been on display from birth.

Although a recent addict to the world of scrapping, I have always been involved in crafting. From making Barbie furniture as a child to refinishing furniture as an adult, I have been using rejected items (trash) in new ways. I came into scrapbooking through the back door, using the papers and supplies for other types of projects. Although my background is more in home decor, I enjoy scrapping pictures of my family. I am still on the lookout for discarded objects to use in my designs, finding it fun to make a treasure out of them.

2 Scrappy Chicks

est. April 2005

Avid scrapbookers, best buds and pursuers of a laugh, Melissa Hines and Annette Prudhomme have a passion to share this scrappin' art form and addition with the world!

Designing projects, teaching class, and making the complicated seem easy is our chosen avenue to reach and convert as many as are willing. If that was not fun enough, we also host retreats, day scraps and birthday parties (no barmitvahs yet)!

There is no happy like scrap happy!

When didn’t I scrapbook would be the better answer than when did I start. I have always cherished photos and felt like they held a currency to the past. I do not come from a family of storytellers and I felt like photos have always been the link. I always loved examining furniture and room colors in pictures, and especially clothes and hairstyles. Everything that is old is truly new again!

I started Creative Memories style, as most did, right after my youngest was born. I have scrapped so many moments of her life, but felt I had to branch out to preserve it properly. Thank goodness for the market interest and no matter where I go or who I talk to EVERYONE has a story to tell! The two things I can not live without is ink and pattern paper, and I love to stand while I scrap (usually dancing around listening to my iPod).

Things that INSPIRE me (isn't that what it's all about?)...

My 2 teenage boys (they're awesome)
Random acts of Kindness (by anyone)
My silly dog, Oscar (especially his expressive brown eyes)
Love of my parents (thru the past 43 years)
Ali Edwards (everything that she does)
Traveling (only wish I could do more)
New scrapbook supplies (from Crafty Scrapper, where else?)
Music (Can you say iPod?)
Photos of my family (I so badly need to take more)

But most of all LOVE...
...and in the end the love you take is equal to the love that you make. -Beatles

Betty Atkeisson

My first daughter-in-love introduced me to scrap booking 10yrs ago. I love all aspects of scrapping: pages, cards, Heritage, crafts, canvas etc. and use all available mediums including sewing. My past craft history included a store where I taught oil painting classes. Today I make scrapbooks for others and teach classes in and around Corsicana. (home, club/church groups or individual) as a personal trainer. If you would like to contact me please email me at creative.grandma@sbcglobal.net

My style can change every day of the week! Some days my projects are whimsical and fun, and some days I do clean, uncluttered designs...and yet other days I'm all vintage! Regardless of the style, all of my projects are made from the heart and I pay very close attention to detail.

I have an art degree from an Oregon university and put my creative energy to work daily through rubber stamping, paper crafting, illustration, and photography. I'm proud to be an artist for Whipper Snapper Designs, and am truly honored to serve on several design teams for rubber stamp and paper crafting companies. Every day is a creative adventure!

A big thanks to the gals at The Crafty Scrapper for welcoming me to the design team! I look forward to all the fun! You can see more of my work (there's lots of it to see), and catch the occasional glimpse of my life on a small Texas farm at http://sweetmissdaisy.typepad.com/

Susie Moore

My name is Susie Cannon Moore and I am a brand new member of the design team. I started scrapbooking just like everyone else with decorative scissors, a circle template and a paper cutter that didn't cut straight. Throw in a few die cuts, patterned papers and stickers – that was the genesis of my scrapbooks.

Ten years later, I have discovered my scrapbooking style, which is linear and clean. My pages reflect that. BUT, my passion for mini books and card making knows no bounds. I approach any non-page project with an eye for the shabby chic, eclectic or just plain "out there". If I can sand it, I will. Throw in a flower and some ribbon…. I'm in heaven.

I work full time for CBS Radio in Dallas. Scrapbooking, creating projects and teaching scrapbook classes are fun sidelines for me. I have even been on national TV teaching 2 scrapbooking segments on HGTV's Crafters Coast to Coast.

I am just now discovering the world of digital scrapbooking and have been doing some hybrid scrapbooking. My latest passion is learning Adobe Photoshop Elements. I love a new challenge almost as much as I love a new scrapbooking tool.

My husband Randall & I have 5 grown children, a host of in-law children and 2 sweet grandchildren. We have ordered more grandchildren, but none are presently on the way. We reside in Dallas, and will go on a cruise at the drop of an invitation! Randall is my biggest scrapbook supporter.

My motto? "A day without scrapbooking? Not if I can help it."

Aimee Nichols

Hi my name is Aimee Nichols aka Crazy Aimee some even know me as
A-I-M-E-E, dashes included. I am a newer member to the design team. I have always been a crafty person but only made my first layout, about two years ago. I don't think I have a certain "style" of scrapping, BUT I do love my stamps.

John and I have been together about 4 years. We moved here from California in November 2005. We finally bought our first house the end of February, and after a short 3 month remodel we moved in the first week in June. I only have one baby Dalton and he will be sixteen this Sunday. (time has flown by) Dalton always seems to inspire me to scrapbook, he is always keeping things that I could use on a layout, receipts, ticket stubs, oh and the screw that was removed from his broken leg.

After moving to Texas I got a job doing billing and collections for a small company, but decided a few months ago that was not for me, Now I have a in home day care, so far I am really enjoying it, but I am going to have to get a part time job to support my stamp addiction.
