I have been creating scrapbook pages for over 25 years and enjoy sharing my creative process and layouts with the amazing community here and my process on you-tube. I enjoy playing along with the counterfeit challenge because it gets me to use up my stash (some 15+ years old) and makes me think about my supplies in new and different ways. It also allows me to focus on a specific set of papers and embellishments for the month, many that I’ve forgotten that I have. I love the connection to other creatives in this supportive community.
Hi! I’m Brandi, a full time mama to two little boys! I squeeze in as much time in my scrappy space as I can, they love playing with paper and stickers too, so we have lots of craft time! I’ve been scrapbooking since I was very young, late elementary school to be exact, and I just love having a creative outlet to store my photos and memories! You can find all my work on Instagram @scrappy.boymama
I’ve been an avid scrapbooker for over 25 years, starting when my second daughter was born. I still love the hands-on, tactile experience of working with paper, scissors, and glue—it’s truly my creative happy place. My style leans clean and simple, with a focus on meaningful photos and thoughtful details. I enjoy incorporating pieces from my stash and occasionally adding touches of mixed media for extra interest. While I organize my albums chronologically, the layouts I create tend to feature photos from the past year and a half—focusing on recent memories while still telling our story in order. My biggest inspiration comes from my family—my husband, our three young adult daughters, our son-in-law, and our two dogs. I love capturing everyday moments along with special experiences, especially the concerts we enjoy together. For me, scrapbooking is all about telling our story in a way that’s authentic, creative, and lasting.
I started scrapping about 22 years ago (almost 23 I guess now) when my daughter was small. I fell in love with the creative process and while I document our lives, I do not scrap chronologically. I enjoy working from inspiration - either a kit or a photo that strikes my fancy. It's also fun because then I get to relive memories in no particular order.My most common subject is my daughter, but I toss in a few of my cat and hubby. I live in Texas - born and bred, with no intention of ever leaving. However, I do love to travel and we typically travel at Christmas every year. I am not currently on any other design teams, although I do participate in 30 Days of Sketches with Christy's beautiful life and had a sketch featured this last round. I work a full-time job and own a nutrition club, so my normal scrappy time is 4 am during the week. If I'm lucky and there are no house chores, I "get" to scrapbook sometimes on the weekends. :-)

I am mom to four bio kids, (two that still live at home) one adopted son, and two adult stepsons. Two of those kids are married, so I'm a mother-in-law - and I’m Mema to my two granddaughters. I was just remarried in November of 2022, to the man I prayed to God for for over 20 years.I live in Idaho, and work full time outside the home. I love crafting of many kinds - quilting, painting, canvas art, but scrapbooking is what I love the most. I dabble in digital, but prefer the tactile art of physical scrapbooking.
I started scrapbooking in 2002. I’ve become known within my circle of friends as "the one who brings the challenges" for the group. I love challenges! I like both simple and clean, as well as detailed and intricate. I eventually created a board game of challenges for scrapbookers, called Scrapbook Joey, which I am hoping to get marketed in the next year or so.

Hi! I am Tara, also known as The Paper Snob over on YouTube and kryptonite_72 on Instagram. I have been scrapbooking since early 2000 and fell in love with this hobby. I have always loved photos and the stories behind them. My sister introduced me to scrapbooking and after an initial "no thanks", I decided to give it a try and LOVE keeping my families stories alive this way!

Hello! My name is Vikki Taguinod and I live in Nevada. Scrapbooking is my passion and since I'm retired, I can be found most days in my scrap area either scrapbooking, making a card or occasionally a mini album. I have been scrapbooking for 30+ years. I started in high school with magnetic photo albums. I currently use 3 ring binders and love that system. My albums are in chronological order, but I don't scrap that way. When not scrapbooking you can find me reading, crocheting, writing or enjoying a coffee or chai.
A lot of my scrapbook layouts start as paper kits, unless I'm working with a specific collection. Most of the time I pull from my scraps to add to a paper kit. I will then choose photos, alphas and ephemera to go with the kit. I find this way of scrapbooking to be most effective for me.
