Design Team Coordinator
My name is Amanda Laboy (aka: Amanda L.) I have been scrapping for the past 8 years. My motto is "Teacher by day, but scrapper by heart". Since discovering the online scrapbooking world a year ago, scrapping has turned from a hobby to an all-out passion of mine. There is nothing I really won't scrap, although my two favorite subjects are my adoring hubby and 5-year old son, both named Jose. I have an obsession with chipboard and patterned paper, but I have never met a scrapbooking product I didn't like. I scrap to savor the memories, but scrapping is also my therapy. I love the creative outlet it provides and the rush I get when a layout or project comes together even better than I had envisioned. I love challenges and strive to always push myself to "think outside the box". I hope that I can motivate and inspire others through my work. I am so excited to be the DT Coordinator here at Treasured Scrapbooking!

Card Designer
Hi everyone!! I’m Sara Garza (aka: arastosccrap). I have lived in San Antonio, Texas most of my life and I couldn’t imagine living any place else. Go Spurs Go!!! I have been blessed with four beautiful children. Gabriel, Katherine, Matthew and Christopher are my world and my biggest challenge in life. We share our home with a fat cat named Stuart whom we adopted several years ago. I have been scrapbooking for about five years, but only became passionate about it about three years ago. My mother introduced me to crafts when I was very young. I remember making cards for my Mom and Dad before I even started school. I hope my children can one day look back at my layouts and really understand who I am, and know that they are loved beyond measure. My favorite scrapbook items are patterned paper, flowers and chipboard. I am very honored to be part of the Design Team at Treasured Scrapbooking, and I look forward to this opportunity to inspire others, as well as, being challenged and inspired by everyone else in this wonderful community.

My name is Tracey (aka: TraceyT) and I am from Eastern Canada. I have two beautiful girls and a husband who is incredibly supportive of my obsession. I am a French teacher by profession who has just recently embarked on a new journey as a stay at home Mom. I made my first official layout five years ago when my husband won the provincial amateur golf title. Scrapbooking quickly became the outlet I needed to organize my photos and memorabilia into beautiful pieces of artwork and I absolutely love every minute of it. I am absolutely thrilled to be part of the Treasured Scrapbooking team. It is my hope that my work inspires you as much as I am inspired by all of you.

Hey there! I’m JoEllyn (aka: josie24). I live in northern Minnesota and I’ve been married to my husband for 3 years. We have a tiny little house with 2 large yellow labs and a cat-- but have managed to still make a space to call my own for scrapping! I work full time as a mental health practitioner, which is a very challenging and rewarding career! I love that I am able to make my own schedule and the flexibility that offers me. But most of all, I love that I am able to establish relationships with some amazing people. I have found while I’m teaching them, I always end up learning a little bit about myself in the process!
I’ve only been scrapping for a few years but I feel like I’ve learned a lot in that time, and a lot of it from being here at Treasured Scrapbooking. I was an art education major in college until the budget cuts started cutting out art programs, so I‘ve always been creative. I was a guide for some Wilderness camps after graduating college, which led me in a wonderful new direction, but I felt like something was missing. Then I realized I didn’t have a creative outlet. So, after I had made fun of her for a few years for scrapbooking, my best friend talked me into “just trying” it. I was hooked instantaneously! It was a combination of all the things I love about art and creating! I have a philosophy about scrapbooking that is summed up in three phrases: have fun, focus on the photos, and tell a story. I keep these things in mind whenever I sit at my table to play. One of my favorite aspects of scrapbooking is journaling and telling the story behind the photo(s). This is my first time being on a design team and I am thrilled to be working with all of these wonderful women and Leslie, the store owner. Thanks for the opportunity for me to share my passion with everyone and to push myself to learn even more!

Hello everyone! My name is Shirley Van Wieren (aka: Shirley) and I live in Michigan with my wonderful husband of 40 years, Dennis. We have three married daughters and nine adorable grandchildren in three different states and love traveling to visit them. Being their Nana is my favorite thing in the world! I work full time as the assistant to the President of a Coldwell Banker real estate office. Scrapping has been part of my life for 10 years and I’ve become totally obsessed in the last couple of years. My style is quite girly as I love ribbons, buttons and enjoy adding lots of layers. It’s always fun to try new trends and products but keeping the focus on the photo and the story is important to me. Challenges help push my layouts to the next level and I hope you’ll play along with us each month. Finding the online world of scrapping has energized my excitement and I love chatting and creating with friends around the globe. My other passion is photography and my camera is never far from my side. I hope you’ll be inspired by what we have to share and can’t wait to see all your wonderful creations. I’m honored and excited to have this opportunity to be part of this talented Treasured Scrapbooking Design Team!

Hi! My name is Erin Gudge (aka: ErinGudge). I am a stay at home mom to three kids- Rhiannon, Alexander, and Alora. I am married to Brian, and we live in a small town in Oregon, and I love it here. We live near mountains, coast, valleys, and rivers, so I will never run out of beautiful locations for photos. I am a message board fanatic, dork, scrap enabler, and when I'm not scrapping the night away, I love to read, cook, and watch TV! I have been scrapbooking for about three and a half years now, and I love it! I have always loved art- colors, textures, composition- but never found the right medium until now. I love that within scrapbooking I can paint, doodle, layer, alter, stitch, glaze, wrinkle, rip, sand, ink, whatever I want! It is a combination of so many different things, and it never gets old! I love to keep up with the newest trends and products, while staying true to my own style. If I had to label my style, I think it would be freestyle chic, since I love to combine newer funky things with antiquing, vintage, and shabby chic items and techniques. I also like to do things that have a sense of humor to them, and show off my dorky side. I like to give things a twist, sometimes a lighthearted touch, sometimes a little edgy funk. My children are my inspiration, they are little goofball crazies! My life is about to get even crazier, as I am going back to college after ten years away!

My name is Sarah Edens (aka: Sarah). First I'd like to say what a privilege it is to be chosen as a TS design team member! I'm a happily married SAHM to 2 year old and 3 year old boys, and a 7 year old stepdaughter. My husband is currently in Iraq, and right now scrapbooking is my way of keeping busy while I miss him and keeping him in touch with the every day moments here at home. He loves coming to the gallery and seeing what I've created and what the kids have been up to. Scrapbooking began as a hobby 3 yrs ago after my oldest son was born, now it has become an obsession and pure passion. I love the hands on creative outlet it provides. I'm always trying to convert anyone I meet into becoming a scrapper! I have to say my scrapbook studio is my favorite room. I'm lucky enough to have a wonderfully supportive enabler (aka hubby) that has gone out of his way to encourage me along my scrappy way. He built my 625 square foot studio almost two years ago, and I love every moment I spend in there creating!

Hello there! My name is Michelle Lanning (aka: alysmom). I am thrilled to have been chosen as a part of the Treasured Scrapbooking team! I reside in sunny Southern California with my awesome hubby Mike and beautiful daughter Alyson, whom are my favorite subjects to scrap! I am a first grade teacher and love the rewards of teaching children. But after a long day, and the family is sleeping, I love to de-stress by scrapping.
Scrapping started as a fun pastime - but quickly turned into a passion, especially after the birth of my daughter. I have gone through many changes as a scrapbooker and am still discovering in what style I am most comfortable scrapping in. One thing that does not change is my love of scrapping the memories of our family - those little moments that seem so trivial in just photos but can become so much more with journaling, paper and embellishments. It is all about telling the best story I can so that future generations will see what our lives were like. And given the opportunity to use the awesome kits from Treasured Scrapbooking is icing on the cake! I can't wait to get started!

Hello, my name is Lisa Houpt (aka: justlisa), and I have been scrapbooking for over 10 years
and just love it! I have been married for 21 years and have two wonderful
daughters and one sweet little cocker spaniel. They are wonderful and put up
with this scrapbooking obsession that I seem to have. My scrapping style is
a little girly, shabby and fun! I love all kinds of embellishments,
especially ribbon/trims and flowers, and sometimes find that I just can't
stop myself and keep adding "one more thing" to my layout. I am so excited
and honored to be designing for Treasured Scrapbooking!!

Hello, my name is Dolores (aka: Dolores), and I reside in one of NYC’s boroughs, the Bronx home of the Yankees. I have been married to my wonderful husband Felix for 21 years. We have 4 amazing children who are my inspirations. I started scrapbooking a little over a year ago and I am so addicted to this amazing hobby. Scrapbooking has literally become part of my life, it is my ‘me’ time. I have met so many wonderful ladies through scrapbooking, I now have friends that share my passion. It is also nice to be able to share my family history the good, the bad and the ugly to future generations. Journaling (hidden or open) is important to me because even though the cliché is a picture is worth a thousand words, sometimes there’s just so much more than just the picture. There are the feelings and emotions of that particular picture on that day. My style I joke is anything that tickles my fancy, but in reality I just don’t know, I’m still learning. I love to use flowers, ribbons and now I have the fever of buttons. As far as techniques I love stamping, sewing and inking. I am excited to be part of an amazing team, and looking forward to working with Treasured Scrapbooking kits.

My name is Michelle (aka: momof3crazies) and I am a SAHM of three bright and beautiful and CRAZY children. To say that I am busy is a drastic understatement but I wouldn't have it any other way. They are my pride and joy and are constantly giving me reason to create scrapbook pages. I consider myself an EXTREMELY passionate scrapbooker...not a day goes by that I don't think of something scrap related. Learning or coming up with new techniques to use while creating has to be my favorite thing to do right now. It might be a simple technique that helps me jazz up my embellishments, or just altering something that you would not ordinarilly see altered with scrap supplies. I love what this hobby has brought to the table and what joy and happiness it brings to our family when they get to see their pages completed.
