Creative Team

  • Becky Derby (bderby)- I am currently a SAHM to two adorable twin boys who are almost 3 years old–so, yes, I am very busy!! My wonderful husband and I live in Oklahoma right now. We lived for 2 1/2 years in France and loved every minute of it. OK is definitely a bit of culture shock! :) I was introduced to digiscrapping last year by my sister and have been addicted ever since!


  • Claudia Star (star74, claudia) - I’m a 34 year SAHM of 2 kids. Lisa who is almost 5 and Tony who is 2,5 years old. I’m married to a great husband for 8 years now and we live in Rijnsburg, the Netherlands. So excuse me if my english isn’t perfect. I started scrapping 6 years ago and got totally addicted. About 2 years ago I discovered digital scrapping and now I’m hooked ;) At least we now don’t have to eat our dinner on our lap anymore, because the dining table is now freen from scrap-stuff! Now me and my hubbie struggle about who can use the computer LOL.


  • Dawn McFarland (winkasheart) -


  • Heather Theado (camlu) - I am Mom to two girls, ages 7 and 3, who keep me on my toes and bring joy to my life. I also have a wonderful DH and 3 cute furbabies in my life. I work part-time as a software tester so scrapbooking gives me the creative outlet I need to balance out my technical side. I have been scrapbooking for over 10 years, and digital scrapbooking for about 2 years. I love to create layouts that preserve my family’s history in a fun and artistic way.


  • Kelleigh Ratzlaff (kelleighr)


  • Kelly Ann Halbert (Kiki) - I’m married with two furbabies. I live in Quebec, Canada and enjoy the outdoors, digital scrapbooking and design, and am a shopaholic when it comes to gorgeous kits!


  • Kristen Haacke (khakisack) - Hi! I’m Kristen, 28, married for 6 years to my high school sweetheart. I just graduated with my masters degree in nursing and am preparing to take my neonatal nurse practitioner boards in November… wish me luck! Currently I’m doing my internship in a busy newborn intensive care unit– a very stressful but rewarding career. Scrapbooking is my stress relief outlet! My husband and I have 8 nieces and nephews, and they are currently the focus of my scrapbooking until we are able to have our own children (which will hopefully be soon because I am getting VERY impatient).


  • Kristen Rice (Quirky, Quirkyk) - I’m a mom to a lovely little girl Savannah, age 5 and a soon to be little boy Jordan due in January. Wife to a wonderful hubby Rob. Own two dogs, a lab and a cocker spaniel, as well as one Kitty cat, a Norwegian Forest Cat mix (basically A LOT OF HAIR!) and we all live in North Carolina. I have been scrapping since Aug. of 2006 and of course am addicted! I have recently ventured into the land of hybrid but I’m still a bit timid on that one! As well as scrapping I also do knitting, sculpting, and crocheting (working on getting a site up to sell mine and my partners creations in those areas) Will be at Etsy and a site under Quirky Bits-n-Pieces. And that about sums me up! :)


  • Leah Farquharson (chicscrapper, chicscrapper29) - I’m married to my {awesome} hubby, Andrew, and we have 2 crazy boys ages 6 and 2 that I currently stay home with. {Though I don’t know how much time we actually spend at home! Ha!} I started paper scrapping almost 3 years ago now, and added digi late last fall, though I didn’t really start digi scrapping much until around June. I’ve only very recently started to do more hybrid scrapping, but those projects have ended up being some of my absolute favorites! I love being able to combine the best of both worlds.

  • Lisa Newhouse (lnewhouse) - I am mom to three gorgeous kiddos and wife to my wonderful husband. I am currently a SAHM and I am loving every minute of it. I the past I have always held Info Tech jobs and will probably get back to work once my three year old is in school. I love to digi scrap and occasionally get messy with my paper supplies.


  • Melanie Hobbs (melanie3boys) - I’m stay-at-home mom to three adorable little boys and have been married to my awesome hubby, Travis for 8 years. I found digital scrapbooking through some friends at church and I’m hooked! It’s my personal mission to get all of my friends and family into my new hobby! I am still pretty new to scrapping the digital way so I’m always looking for a new ideas and techniques for my pages. Mostly I’m obsessed and can’t stop!! I’m excited to be on this team and can’t wait to start creating!

I am currently on the digital/hybrid design team at AC Bailey Designs and I’m also a member of Jodie McNally’s CT at Oscraps. Some random tidbits about me…I hate bridges, I take pictures of everything from fungus on a tree to clouds in the sky, I overuse the words “absolutely” and “totally” and I am addicted to McDonald’s Cokes. I can’t wait to get started and meet everyone!!


  • Sam Lewis (scrappychic) - I’m mommy to 3 princesses, living in the San Francisco Bay Area.Started paper scrapping when my 1st daughter was born, but turned to digi when I no longer had the room or time.Now I’m all digi - it’s the only way I can get any page done!

  • Tara Forbes (TaraLyn, AbbysMomma) - I am a married mom of one daughter (5 1/2) and one furbaby (a 9 year old male Chesapeake Bay Retriever). In addition to digi scrapping, I also enjoy knitting, card making and hybrid scrapping. I work full-time outside the home and commute via train—built in knitting time. I tend to scrap at night in front of the tv.


  • Tiki Tse (cherryberry) - My name is Tiki. I live in California with my husband and two young boys. I’m trained as an Accountant but I’ve been a SAHM since 2004. I’m relatively new to Digital Scrapbooking. I did my first layout in May 2008 and haven’t looked back. Digital Scrapbooking has replaced endless hours on the computer video editing. All my memories of my first son are documented by way of videos. When son #2 came along, I found I couldn’t keep up so was looking for a faster way to save memories and I read about Scrapblog in a magazine and the rest is history. I still have multiple video files that need some attention but they will have to wait!
