Hi There! My name is Amy Kingsford and I have lived all of my life in Northern Utah. I am married to the funniest man I have ever met and am a mother to one very silly, but beautiful little boy, who has become somewhat of a muse for me over the past couple of years! While we hope to have more children soon, we are enjoying our one-on-one time with our little man!

I first became interested in scrapbooking at a very young age, as I would make memorabilia collections of my favorite sports stars and my Hollywood crushes (and I am embarrassed to admit that I still have most of them….the books I mean…ok, some of the crushes too !) By the age of 17, my tools had switched from construction paper and crayons to a more conventional form of scrapbooking and I soon became obsessed with patterned papers, stickers and decorative scissors. I have been going strong now for ten years, preserving the memories of my families’ lives and learning from fabulously talented people along the way!

After becoming involved in the wonderful online community that Debbie has created here at Get It Scrapped, I soon found myself venturing into the new and exciting worlds of Art Journaling, Photography, Photo Editing, Digital Scrapbooking and more! I have met some of the most wonderful women here and have learned more than I had ever thought possible! I look forward to meeting each and every one of you, because I know there is so much we can learn from each other!

I’m the owner of this website and the author of “Get It Scrapped” published by Memory Makers Books. My first online classes were based upon the chapters of my book (Scrap Your Events, …Your Everyday Life, …Yourself, … Your Travel). I love working with the teachers here to develop and offer their classes.

Dina lives in Glendale, AZ with her husband and three sons. She started scrapping in 1995 when her first son was 6 months old. Her scrapbooking took an artsy turn when she discovered mixed media collage. Now she dabbles in scrapbooking, mixed media collage, visual journaling, and encaustic art. Dina has kept a journal since she was nine years old so combining words and photos and art was a natural progression. Dina designs for Hambly studios, {entreARTistes} magazine (a French publication), and Kenner Road kit club. She’s a docent at the Phoenix Art Museum where she gives tours on the museum’s collection to visitors and school groups. Dina’s blog.

Doris grew up just six miles from the ocean on the gulf coast of sunny Florida. After college her dormant gypsy blood surfaced and she began her wanderings; she has lived in Guatemala, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Honduras. Her vagabond ways were tempered when the little guy came along. Gabriel is her world and life is wonderful with him in it. They currently call Tennessee home where she stays quite busy keeping up with Gabriel’s social life, teaching English as a Second Language, and scrapping, of course.

Doris has always enjoyed photos and the stories they tell. As a child one of her favorite pastimes was digging through her mother’s collection of old photographs and wondering what the people in them would tell her if they could speak. She loves that scrapbooking allows her to share her stories and thoughts with her son, family, friends, and future generations. Doris would describe her work as structured freestyle, a hodgepodge of fun with a solid foundation. She currently designs for Jenni Bowlin Studio and American Crafts and has been published in Scrapbook Trends, Creating Keepsakes, BHG Scrapbooks Etc., Memory Makers, and Cards. Doris’s blog.

I love taking photos. I love capturing my everyday life — the small details and the big events. Just having my camera in hand makes me happy! I’ve taken pictures for as long as I can remember but really began to care about improving my skills when my son was born. I turned my camera off of auto in 2005 and never turned back.

I discovered digital scrapbooking in 2006 after accumulating 5 years worth of digital photos on my hard drive. I have a photo first style and often scrap them BIG for impact! I am on the Creative Team at Designer Digitals and am admin for our Photo A Day Flickr group.

My favorite subjects to photograph are my husband Shea, my almost 4-year-old son Ian, my garden, and my food and beverages! My blog.

My name is Lynn Weber. I’m a retired first-grade teacher and the grandma of eight adorable grandchildren. I’ve been scrapping digitally for over four years, ever since my best buddy, Pattie, lured me away from paper scrapping and started my digital addiction! During this time, I have taken thousands of photos of my grandchildren, but not all of them have turned out exactly as I had hoped. Learning to use Photoshop to improve my photos has saved me! I have been editing and restoring photos for clients and at local scrapbook stores and teaching photo editing classes in my area. I’m very excited to be working with Debbie here at her wonderful site! I am on the creative teams at Designer Digitals, E-Scape and Scrap and KB and Friends. I have been published in Simple Scrapbooks and Digital Scrapbooking Magazine.

HI! My name is Michelle Houghton. I have been scrapbooking for over ten years. I started when my husband and I got married. I bought the boxed starter set from Wal-mart and was in love. Even before I began scrapbooking, I have been a lifelong artist, majoring in Fine Arts at the University of Oregon and then teaching high school art for 7 years before having my first kiddo. My style has changed dramatically over the years from decorative scissors and as many photos as you can cram onto one page to layouts that take a little more time and include a lot of handmade elements and journaling. If I have a style or signature it is probably doodling. The pages I create that I like the most are ones that include my own art on them somewhere. I am currently a busy stay-at-home Mom to two beautiful girls and a husband in Iowa. I am thrilled to be teaching again and especially on Debbie’s amazing site. I have learned a ton about scrapping in the classes I have taken here myself. My blog.

Pattie began scrapbooking in 2002 when she worked on a graduation album for her daughter. Frustrated with sloppy journaling, glue in her hair, and ink smudges on the pages, Pattie started searching the web for help and found her first online home at Scrapbook Bytes.Six years later, Pattie is a Contributing Editor for CK Media’s Digital Scrapbooking magazine, writing the “101″ column geared toward teaching beginning Photoshop techniques. She designs digital products (including layered page templates) for Designer Digitals Pattie is thrilled to be here sharing her love of digital design through her series of classes. Pattie’s blog.

My name is Paula Gilarde, and I have been scrapbooking for over 5 years – what started as a simple wedding album has turned into a full-blown obsession. I started with paper and discovered digital scrapbooking almost three years ago. I still switch back and forth between the two depending on my mood! I usually scrap 12×12 and my style tends towards clean and simple. I’m happily married and have two children Molly, 5 and Tommy almost 4 who provide me with endless inspiration for my pages. I’ve been published in Simple Scrapbooks, Creating Keepsakes, BHG Scrapbooks Etc, Memory Makers, Scrapbook Trends and various other scrapbooking idea books. I’m thrilled to have been named a winner of the 2007 Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame. Paula’s blog.

Sharyn Tormanen

As far back as she can remember, Sharyn has enjoyed bringing photos and stories together. “What I really enjoy,” says Sharyn, “is including little details in my journaling, bits of history, bits of current trends and issues, bits of real life to go along with the story and photos at hand. I also enjoy capturing those things beyond the obvious, those little things that will have my children and me saying, “Oh yeah! I remember that!” in the years down the road. ”

Sharyn’s style is classic and straightforward. She loves event layouts. She loves two-page layouts and pages that tell a story. Since 2000, she’s had pages published in many magazines and received two Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame Honorable Mentions. Sharyn currently designs for Creative Memories. Also, a big stack of her pages are featured in the Memory Makers Books’ “Get It Scrapped!” (by Debbie Hodge). Sharyn’s blog.
