Hello, from Pittsburgh PA! I am Debbie Gaydos, mommy to 2 wonderful boys, 7 year old Ryan and 5 year old Tyler; and wife to my great husband, Mark. After several years as a stay-at-home mom, I have been back to work for the past two years as a part time adjunct mathematics instructor at a local branch campus of Penn State University. I love this hobby and try to do something scrap-related everyday! I have been known to work scrapbooking-themed problems into my math exams – so even my students know I am obsessed with it. My work has appeared in Memory Makers, Scrapbook Trends, Scrapbooks Etc. and the book Layout Blueprints 2. I am so thrilled and honored to be invited to be a Tres Chic Girl here at Scrapperie!

Hi, I’m Beth Price. I’m wife to Steve and I’m a stay-at-home mom to my three girls ages 9, 7, and 4. I love the art of scrapbooking, including the stories behind the pictures. My mother and grandmother are both genealogy hobbyists and because of the interesting stories they’ve found, I’ve gained a new love for telling the stories of our every day life. I’ve always been drawn to hand-crafted art and I’ve tried everything from embroidery to knitting, so it was no surprise I became obsessed with scrapbooking after I started having children. When I scrap, I love color and flowers and frills of all kinds and you’ll see at least one of those on any page I’ve worked on.

I am so excited to be here and really looking forward to my time at Scrapperie as a Tres Chic Girl.

My name is Colleen and I'm married to a wonderful husband, George, that supports my scrapbooking addiction and we have 2 wonderful little boys that I love to scrap! I was teaching, but I'm now a stay at home mum and I also take care of my niece. I'm lucky enough to be able to get out and work a couple of shifts a week in my local scrapbooking store as well.

I have been scrapbooking for over 10 years and cardmaking for about 4 or 5 years. I've been some kind of cut and paste thing most of my life, but it was really when I moved to Osaka, Japan to teach English that I started scrapping some of my experiences there. After three years, I came home with 4 albums and a lot more unscrapped pictures! Thus began the addiction!

Scrapbooking is a creative outlet for me and I enjoy doing a range of scrap-related projects including layouts, cards, altered items, mini books, etc. Now, I'm pretty much up for any challenge and love trying new things. I generally have what I think most people would think of as a fairly clean, linear style, but I'm not afraid to change it up a little either. I do single and double page layouts as well and one photo and multi-photo layouts. As I said, this is a creative outlet and playing with it is a big part of it for me.

I'm thrilled to be part of the Scrapperie team and a member of the Tres Chic Girls!

I am a former graphic designer, turned attorney, turned stay-at-home mom to 3 kiddos who provide me with lots of material for scrapping. I like to say that I have been scrapping since birth, and that is not far from true. As a kid I did LOTS of collages and I still have (somewhere) the scrapbooks I made with photos of Kirk Cameron/Michael J. Fox/whoever I loved at the time. I found "modern" scrapbooking after my son Eric was born. I have been lucky enough to be published in several magazines and I was honored to be a 2007 Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame Honorable Mention winner. I am a co-founder of a technique blog (www.methodplayground.blogspot.com) and have really enjoyed that experience. I love the challenge that comes from receiving product in kit form and trying to make new and interesting designs from that set of goodies. I have found so many online friends through this hobby and I am thrilled to be a tres chic girl.

MHi, I'm Keely Yowler from Georgetown, KY. I'm a mom of 5--ages 11, 10, 9, 9, & 7. I work as a Clinical Nurse Specialist by day. By night...I'm a total scrap addict! I have been scrapbooking for 8 years. I watched Lisa Bearnson on QVC, ordered the kit, and I've been hooked ever since. I love to create 12x12 layouts, cards, mini-albums, and altered projects. I would describe my style as Whimsical with a touch of Shabby Chic. I love bold, bright colors and combining lots of cool patterns, but I can't resist inking, buttons, and old lace. I'm honored to have been published in several magazines and I'm always on the look for great calls and contests. I love challenging myself to think outside of my comfort zone. The great gals here at the Scrapperie are so inspiring...I'm thrilled to be a Tres Chic Girl!!!

My name is Michele, I am a 33 year old stay at home mom to a very spirited young man and I live just outside of Charleston, West Virginia. When I'm not scrapping, you can usually find me on the message boards that I stalk, making layout sketches, playing with photoshop, and once in a blue moon cleaning the house/doing laundry. My other hobbies include knitting, writing, crosswords, sudoku, teaching a children's sunday school class, singing, playing the flute and ringing handbells. I am so excited and honored to be a Tres Chic Girl! I don't know if I have a style, it changes with my moods, but my favorite projects are altering just about anything/everything and making mini books.

My name is Shelly Brewer. I love creating art! Scrapbooking is the outlet in which I can share my thoughts and feelings and truly show my personality. I am influenced greatly by pop culture and all things retro. Give me lots of color, some song lyrics, quotes, rainbows, unicorns, hearts and I am content! I love to scrap about my life with my cute hubs and our sweet furry girl MJ. My family and friends are great subjects for scrappin along with my everyday life! When I'm not scrappin I am teaching history to 150 high school students. I also am a runner, a reader, and an obsessed tv watcher.

Hi from the Southern Oregon Countryside. I am a wife of ten years and a stay at home/homeschooling mom of 5 ages 9,8,6,5,5 (yep, twins). I started scrapping about 9 years ago, but just found the world of online scrappers about a year ago. When I scrap I love to get messy, I am not finished with a LO unless I have painted, inked or stickled something! I thrive on challenges, and can't get enough of them. We just moved on to a farm, so lately my inspiration has come from my kids learning to take care of 4 legged creatures. I also Garden, blog and READ. If I have any free time left over...... I love to quilt and make Jewelry.

It is truly an Honor to be a Tres Chic Girl
