Lisa Andrews
Hello, I'm Lisa Andrews, owner of Scrapbook Circle. I have been married to my awesome husband for over 15 years and have 3 children ages 7, 9, and 12. When I'm not busy scrapbooking I enjoy reading, hanging out with my family and baking treats.
I started scrapbooking over 12 years ago. Like so many, I was inspired to start scrapbooking after the birth of our first daughter. I have always had a interest in photography (ever since getting my Fisher Price camera when I was about 8 years old) and I loved organizing those photos in those bad news magnetic albums.
Scrapbooking is such a wonderful way to celebrate life and I feel blessed to be able to preserve our family memories through this fantastic hobby!

Lifting You — Andrea
Hello! Today we are sharing Dani’s lift of this layout from Andrea. She shared her work with us on the Scrapbook Circle Facebook page.

Diana Waite
Hi! My name is Diana Waite I have been married to my best friend for almost 14 1/2 years, and have 3 amazing kids. They are pretty much the subject in all of my pages. I have been scrapbooking since I was 14 years old in some fashion or another. I love paper crafting in all forms and enjoy the creative outlet that it provides. I like to challenge myself often with new techniques, and trying to use up my stash! I also love to take lots of pictures, and enjoy telling the "story" through them. I love it when my kids flip through the pages of our albums and say "I remember that!" When not scrapbooking I enjoy being with my family, riding bikes, playing games, reading, and going to the gym. I am so excited to be with Scrapbook Circle!

Stickers!
I was SO excited to see the amount of embellishment stickers in the First Avenue kit. I challenged myself not just use them as a sticker but to layer them up: On this layout I have 7 different stickers (that’s including the adhesive chipboard!) I don’t that I had a favorite in the kit they [...]
Jennie Blaser
Hi! I'm so excited to be affiliated with Scrapbook Circle! I've been a design
team member since the Scrapbook Circle started in 2006 and take joy in watching it grow.
I actually started scrapbooking before it was called scrapbooking. I have
"albums" using nothing more than printer paper and Crayola markers from my high school days. (15 years ago!) If I can ever get caught up with my current life, I'm going to have to redo all those early albums.
I'm 33 and I have a wonderful husband(Dave) & 3 kids -- Eden (7), Josh (5), and Teya (2). I love to read and to scrapbook (naturally). I'd love whatever comments you have on my layouts. I'm always looking to improve!

First Avenue: Perfect for those older photos
Good morning! I love the colors in the June kit! I was strumming through my photos and found some of my husband when he was just a little boy. The colors from the 70s and 80s photos are PERFECT for the color scheme in this month’s kit. So, here is my layout: It almost seems [...]

I am a happy mother to three energetic, wonderful boys and wife to an amazing, supportive husband. I began scrapbooking in high school and became seriously addicted when we started our little family. Besides recording precious family stories, scrapbooking is a creative outlet that never ceases to energize and inspire me. When I am not scrapbooking or creating for my Etsy shop, Precocious Paper, I am choreographing and teaching as a professional dancer and actively serving in my church. I am thrilled to be designing for Scrapbook Circle and sharing my passion for scrapbooking with you!

One Item Wonder: Basic Grey Rub-ons

Rebecca Keppel
In a former life I was a corporate attorney living in San Francisco. After my daughter was born, my husband and I decided to move our little family to Arizona. We are still adjusting to the extreme heat, but overall we love the family atmosphere here. In 2007 our little guy was born. They are now 5 and 1/2 and almost 4. I have been a stay at home mom for the last 5 and a half years. I started scrapbooking about the same time our daughter was born. What started as a way to create a baby album for my daughter turned into much more.
Although I have been "journaling" and taking tons of pictures my whole life, it wasn't until I saw scrapbooking as whole that everything clicked for me and the obsession began! Besides recording memories and playing with fun product, I love to learn new techniques and learn more about photography. My favorite way to add texture and dimension to my projects is by sewing (either hand or machine) because I love the homemade, unique touch it adds. Besides making layouts, I love cardmaking and making gifts for family and friends. I enjoy blogging projects and photos --come say hi, if you have a chance: http://www.myclutteredcorner.com/
I am so thrilled to be on the Scrapbook Circle Design team and work with Lisa's AMAZING kits.

I'm a mommy to 2 adorable girls and have a hubby who gave me a super cool last name and who also supports my crafty obsessions. I've been scrapping memories since I can remember, but I joined the new scrapbooking revolution after getting married in 2002 but became obsessed with the hobby in 2010.

One Item Wonder: Studio Calico Frames
The Studio Calico frames are a fun take on the Polaroid trend. Diana and Ursula put the frames to use on recent layouts in uniquely different ways. Let’s take a look.

Ursula Schneider
Who's that girl??? Does anyone remember that song from Madonna? In this case, that girl is Ursula Schneider. I'm 40 and I'm proud. I've been married for 20 years to the best looking guy on the planet who treats me like a woman ought to be treated. I have four amazing children who are almost all grown up now, 1 dog and 1 kitty. I'm a self-taught professional photographer and graphic designer. (no college education here.......and I'm still proud of what I've accomplished) I'm a vocalist and a gourmet and I dabble in make-up artistry. I'm an avid reader, student of the bible and the Living God and a student of people, relationships, and of this beautiful world we all live in. All of that study has culminated in a love for creating beautiful things with paper and photography through scrap-booking, art journaling and whatever other formats strike my fancy. My life is centered in the Sonoran Desert city of Tucson, Arizona but I hope to claim to be a world traveler one day. I've got lots of dreams to fill up the rest of my life and I plan to make as many of them as possible come true, Lord willing and the creek don't rise, of course. I love color, texture, paper, beauty,photography, travel, food, my husband, my family and Jesus! That's me!

A different kind of Background
For me, creating a scrapbook layout is an exercise in creativity. I know I don’t need to feel this way, but I always want to do something different. I don’t want to create a page that everyone has already seen before. I want it to be different as much as is possible. Now I know [...]
Holly Humbert
I'm Holly Humbert. I'm married to my sweetheart of 5 years, mom to one little girl. We currently reside in a tiny town in southeast Idaho. I've been scrapbooking for over 10 years. It is not only memory keeping for me, but a creative outlet, a way to combine telling my story and being able to play with paper :) My family is very supportive and indulge me in “quick” stops to the craft store often. My style is somewhat graphic and simpler, but I enjoy adding details to my pages, to make them stand out. While 12x12 pages are my favorite to make, I also indulge in 8.5x11, mini books and cards occasionally.
My other hobbies include, quilting, photography and baking. I'm a move/TV junkie and love to watch my favorite shows over and over again. I'm a girly girl at heart, I love anything striped or covered in polka dots. I change my nail color a few times a week and I love to play with make-up.

Get out from behind the Camera
I’ve recently, only in the last year or so, started trusting my daughter, who is almost 5 with my SLR camera. She loves taking pictures and I’m hoping to eventually get her, her own camera. But I love the photos she takes. It gives me a chance to see the world through her eyes. [...]
Jennifer Chapin
Hi there! My name is Jennifer. I'm 29 years old and live in Eastern Iowa. My husband Adam and I have been married for 6 years, we have a little girl Keira (3), and a newborn son Connor. We live just outside of town with our beagle, Hunter. I work full time as a registered nurse.
I started scrapbooking in 2006 after making my own thank-you notes for my wedding. After that it was a slippery slope! I am fortunate to have my own crafting space to spread out in. I love using bright colors and stitching on my layouts; I rarely create one without my sewing machine. I tend to use lots of layers and am enjoying learning more about photography.
When I'm not scrapbooking, I like to read and I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes. I have a terrible addiction to Diet Pepsi and Starbucks coffee and am never without my iPhone. Visit my blog at www.jenchapin.blogspot.com

Dani Donner
Hi there! My name is Daniela Donner (but, please, call me Dani) and I live in Barrie-ON with my dear husband and two wonderful boys (7 and 4 years old - can you say BUSY?).
As for my job, I'm an Electrical Engineer who has found an amazing career as an IT Project manager. As for my passion, I found out about Scrapbooking mere 4 years ago, when my family and I moved from Brazil to Canada, and was hooked by the time I saw my first page. The possibility to preserve my memories and pictures to future generations while being creative at the same time just fascinated me! This hobby (I won't say obsession! You can't force me!) became my creative escape and opened my eyes to another beautiful word: photography! But, how can you not love something that combines pretty paper with pretty pictures? :)

Clean and simple
Hi Daniela here with a layout from June kit – First Avenue. I am not sure about the clean part, but simple for sure. I guess clean would be if I used a plain white background or something without a pattern. I just loved that I printed two vertical and two horizontal photos, totally by [...]
