Our Entourage
Erlia AbdullahHi, I’m Erlia. I’m 27 years old and live in Singapore. I have dabbled in many handicraft hobbies as a result of my loving parents who encouraged my love in crafts since I was a child. I first started scrapbooking in March 2006, but started shopping for supplies way before that! I initially fell in love with the pretty products and I love using flowers, buttons, ribbons and bling on my work, with random touches of patterned paper cutouts. I love how scrapbooking expands a person’s creativity and how welcoming this hobby can be. I’ve gotten to know many wonderful people from scrapbooking, many of whom have become my close friends. I am so proud, honored and humbled to be a part of the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Entourage amongst all these talented women, and I’m looking forward to sharing the beauty which is scrapbooking with all of you! 
Linda AlbrechtHi, I'm Linda. I live in Minnesota with my husband David and 3 of my 4 children - Jessi, Luke, and Cort. My oldest son, Cole lives in our hometown, also. My children are my pride and joy and my greatest accomplishments. It is because of them that I scrapbook. I love this hobby and all of the rewards that it has brought into my life. I truly feel blessed to be part of this industry, through design teams and published work. I am so excited to be a part of the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Entourage! I hope you find my work something that you come back to visit often! 
Debra AlveyHi, I’m Debra. I live in Indiana with my wonderful husband and four beautiful step children ages 12, 14, 16, and 20. I have been scrapbooking for 2 years, and have grown so much in the last year. I love to scrap my step-kids and my niece and friends. I also love working with altered projects – it’s rewarding to turn something into a work of art by just adding papers and embellishments to it. I am so excited and honored to be part of the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Design Team, and looking forward to a new year with you. 
Leslie AsheHi, I'm Leslie. I live in Texas with my husband Alan and our children Savannah and Shaypher. They are my reason I do what I do, my inspirations, my loyal subjects and not to mention my number one support team. I'm ONE lucky girl. I've been a scrapbook engineer for a little over 11 years now. I was first introduced to this fabulous hobby by a friend who took me to a scrapbooking party and there was NO looking back for me. I was HOOKED! Scrapbooking is my joy, my life, my LOVE :) Making those memories and giving them life on a page...that's what it's all about! When I'm NOT scrapbooking you can find me hanging with the family, reading or out shopping. I've had an opportunity to be a scrapbook instructor and also have some of my projects published by scrapbooking magazines. I am SO excited to be included as a part of the Scrapbooks N Stickers Entourage and I can't wait to share ideas with you! 
Jessica BergosHi, I'm Jessica. I live in Southwest France with my dear husband, Cedric who I married in 2002. I am a full-time mother of two gorgeous little boys – Ugo, 3 and Oihan, 16 months. I have been scrapbooking since 2003 and bcame addicted immediately ! I love to scrapbook my children and also love photography. I am very proud to be part of the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Entourage and look forward to sharing my work with all of you !! 
Emilie FilipowskiHi, I'm Emilie. I live in Eastern France, near Switzerland with my husband Vincent. I started scrapbooking just after our wedding, in October, 2005 as I wanted to have beautiful memories of this wonderful day. I am a teacher by day and scrapper by night. I love scrapping all kinds of things (12x12 layouts, canvas, boxes, mini books) and love different highly embellished styles (mainly heritage, vintage and shabby chic). I’m very excited about my opportunity being part of the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Entourage and look forward to a great year on their 2008 Team. I hope you find much inspiration from them! 
Vicki FlinchumHi, I’m Vicki. I live in Texas with my wonderful husband and two children ages 9 & 4. All my life I've been an arts and crafts kind of person - painting, drawing, decorating, making things. Paper arts have been included in my many projects but scrapbooking is something I only took up about two years ago. I'm a self taught artist, with, what many say, is an eclectic style. As the self appointed historian of our family, I carry my camera in my purse at all times. I’m delighted to become a designer for the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Entourage! 
Greta HammondHi, I’m Greta. I live in Indiana with my husband Wade and am mama to my two children Liam and Ashlyn. They are the subjects of thousands of pictures and the main inspiration for my pages. Scrapbooking has changed my world. It has given me an appreciation for the little details in life, challenged my love of photography to reach beyond the average picture and exposed a creativity that I never knew I had. Scrapbooking has become my passion. I discovered this amazing hobby about five years ago after my son was born. I needed an outlet after deciding to be a stay-at-home mama and scrapbooking proved to be that and so much more. I am inspired mostly by my photographs and the story I want to tell. Everything starts there. I am honored and thrilled to be a part of the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Entourage. This is an incredible hobby and I love sharing it with others. 
Catherine LabeeuHello, my name is Catherine! I’m 29 years old and live in Brussels. This is the capital of Belgium, a tiny country situated north of France (we are known for our excellent chocolate!). I am the mother of a little boy, Solal, who is 4 and a half years old. I started scrapbooking in 2005, but really become passionate about it in 2006. Since then, I haven’t been able to spend a single day without scrapping! I especially enjoy working with paper, sanding it, tearing it, inking it and combining it with stamps, flowers & buttons. I’m lucky to be giving workshops here in Belgium, but also in France and to have had several of my creations published in France & Quebec. I am extremely excited to join the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Entourage and feel ready to work on new projects!! 
Corinne LeClercqHello, my name is Corinne! I live in Eastern France, near Switzerland. I am a full-time mother of three children. They are Damien 15, Lorina 3 and Marien 4 months. I have been scrapooking since 2005. I LOVE to scrapbook my children. I try to participate in scrapbooking each and every day and have what I would consider an eclectic style. I am very proud to become a part of the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Entourage! 
Angélique LeRouxHi, I’m Angélique. I am 36 and live in Cherbourg in northwestern France with my husband André and our lovely 9 year old girl Romane who is the subject of most of my scrapbook layouts. I started scrapbooking in December, 2004 and have been addicted ever since. There is not a day without anything scrapbook related in my life. I love this craft because it has given me a way to preserve memories and tell the story of my family. I love the satisfaction of creating with my hands...and with my heart too. I would say my style leans towards shabby chic and vintage. I love distressing, aging and stitching. What is important for me is to bring emotion, love and sweetness in my layouts. I am so thankful, excited and proud to be invited to join the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Entourage. 
Desiree McCawBio Coming Soon...
Wendy McGeeHi, I’m Wendy. I live in the UK with my gorgeous husband and my scrummy son. I have been scrapbooking for the last 4 years. They are the reason I started because I wanted to be able to remember our family times together. I would describe my style as clean and neat. I love teaching this craft to new people. My other passion is photography so I don't go far without my camera. I am so thrilled to be asked to join the fabulous Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Entourage and I am excited to see what 2008 will hold! 
Ria MojicaHi, I’m Ria! I reside in Manila, Philippines and am wife to Buddy, mom to 3 kids – Luis 7, Nadya 5 and Bianca 2. I have been a stay at home mom for five years. I specialize in cake decorating and am exploring photography. I started scrapbooking after a trip to Disney World in 2003 and have been hooked ever since. Layouts for my daughters tend to be more romantic, while those for my son are more colorful and playful. I’m not locked into any specific style, but lean toward clean lines. I am so addicted to scrapbooking that my husband has banned me from entering my scrap room when he comes home from the office ! In the Philippines, I am part of the Scrappin’ Moms which is a group offering services and workshops to help grow the scrapbook industry here. We hold a Scrapfest two times a year plus have a monthly e-zine which I’m Editor-In-Chief of. I’m excited to become a member of the SNS Entourage and hope to meet more scrappers in my country through my affiliation with such a great on-line community. 
Linda RodriguezHi, I’m Linda. I live in Texas with my husband Roland and my two children Ryan and Emma. Since I was a child, I've loved taking photographs. I received my first 110 camera in elementary school and haven't stopped shooting since! When I was introduced to scrapbooking in 1998, it just seemed like a natural fit for me. Since then, scrapbooking has become a passion. My inspiration is derived from my family - our celebrations and our heartaches - and everything in between. I have been creating layouts for Kim since meeting her in June, 2005. I am proud to be a part of the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Entourage and look forward to designing lots of great new projects for 2008! 
Colleen StearnsHi, I’m Colleen. I live in Pennsylvania with my husband JC and two amazing sons, Jacob and Ian. My interest in scrapbooking began in high school, when I created albums by cutting my photos in wild shapes, added a little blurb about the photo on notebook paper with a marker, and placed photos and "journaling" in the magnetic page. In 1997, I rediscovered scrapbooking when I attended a party and was given a copy of Creating Keepsakes magazine. I soon found a scrapbook store where I spent the first of many small fortunes on supplies, and I never looked back! Perhaps it is the English teacher in me, but I believe that my layouts need to tell the story as well as be visually appealing. Scrapbooking allows me to blend words with design to express the emotions I hope that future generations will experience when they look at my artwork. I am excited about joining the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Entourage and am looking forward to creating new memories and sharing ideas with all of you. 
Kara StephensonHi, I’m Kara. I live in Texas with my husband, Chris and my two gorgeous girls, Grace and Lauren. I’ve been scrapbooking for over 8 years and am an official scrapbook nerd! I scrap mostly photos of the girls, but also secretly enjoy doing pictures of myself and my adventures. I’m a tabloid junkie and love everything celebrity! I try to live green for our future and try to live in the moment and teach my children the same. I am so excited to design for the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Entourage and hope you like my work! 
Irene TanHi, I’m Irene, but more well known on line as Scrapperlicious! I live in Malaysia with my family. I have two children – a one year old and four year old. I started scrapbooking in 2005 and took a break in 2006 due to a complicated pregnancy. I have recently re-discovered the hobby and my love for stamping, inking and distressing. For me, scrapbooking is really about my life and my family as I love to capture our memories during every day life with them. I am so excited join the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Entourage! 
Roxann WalkerHi, I’m Roxann. I live in Kansas along with my husband Ike and my four children Logan (11), Jensen (9), Griffin (5) and Marinne (3). They are the world to me and my inspiration in all of my scrapbooking and paper crafting projects. I love stamping and combine it with my layouts and projects often. I love to teach people how to scrapbook and hope that it will lead them on a journey that they will treasure throughout their lives. I met Kim at a Creating Keepsakes Convention in Tulsa and from then on have been so happy to be able to be part of the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers Entourage as well as join her at some of the shows for 2008 for work and play. I hope to meet some of you personally and share my passion with you!! 
Ginger WilliamsHi, I’m Ginger. I live in Texas with the love of my life Marc and our 3 boys Ty (6), Blake (3) and Spencer (1). We just moved into our first "real" home here in Texas about a year ago and we love it here. Besides scrapbooking I love to read, surf, swim, go camping, sew, quilt, eat chocolate, and just recently I started to get into photography! My favorite subjects are my boys, but I also enjoy doing photo shoots for friends and family. I’ve been scrapbooking for 11 years, but it has been the past 6 years where this hobby has really exploded for me. I’ve had the opportunity to work as a scrapbooking instructor and have layouts and projects published by most major scrapbook publishers. I’m very excited to be part of the Scrapbooks 'N Stickers Entourage and hope you enjoy viewing my pages & projects. 
Lisa VotoHi, I’m Lisa. I am a forty something artist and a stay at home mom with a little home based on line auction scrap booking business. I am married to my best friend for over 18 years and have 2 stepsons that are the perfect fit with the 3 children that we have together. I started scrap- booking before there was such a thing. I was scrap booking back in 1988, using construction paper and markers. Then the boom of scrap booking appeared. In 1996 I was able to let my creativity take off. I was honored to design two scrapbook albums for a major company in 2005. I have a very unique style and I love to see what my brain will come up with. I enjoy making altered items, cards and layouts but my passion is making mini albums. It takes me just as long to make a 2 page layout as it does for me to make a complete mini album. When I look at my paper in my studio I never know what the theme will be until my cover is made. It is always a surprise. I hope you all enjoy my creations as much as I do and look forward to inspiring you as a member of the Scrapbooks ‘N Stickers 2008 Entourage. |
