Hi, my name is Fleur Smith.  I have been an avid Scrapbooker since the birth of my first son, about 11 years ago, but have loved paper crafts my whole life.  One of my fondest memories growing up was cutting paper and gluing it to everything I could.  I have been published in Canadian Scrapbooker, West Coast Families and Scrapbook Trends magazines and various e-zines as well.  I am also on the Zutter Bind-It-All design team.  I love being the Design Team Coordinator for all the talented artists on the Scrapbook Star design team.

I have been married to a wonderful man, Michael, for nineteen years and we have two amazing sons that keep me very busy.  My other passions are taking photographs, traveling, reading and music.  I do all of the above (especially Scrapbooking) whenever I can and you will usually find me at my designated scrap zone well past midnight.

Hi!  My name is Melissa, a.k.a. peeps. I started scrapping in late 2006 in preparation for my trip-of-a-lifetime to Australia. I joined the Scrapbook Star boards for inspiration and to chat with other scrappers. Soon after, I was as addicted to this amazing community as I was to scrapbooking itself.

I’m a smidge over 30 and live in Montreal, Quebec where I work in fashion marketing. Single with no kids, I scrap my travels, my cat, everyday items and my friends’ adorable children. I’m addicted to patterned paper, stamps and ribbon and…well, pretty much every scrapbooking material out there!  In addition to scrapping, I love to design greeting cards and alter gift bags/boxes for special occasions. 

My goal as a DT member is to continue to learn new techniques and challenge myself - and you!! See you on the boards!

Scrabooking is an escape for me - my down time. It allows me to combine my love of crafting and photography with my artistic nature. I enjoy each and every second of the creative process involved in taking a layout or project from start to finish. I completed my first scrapbooking layout in November of 2008 and have been addicted ever since.

My design style is constantly changing and I am always looking for new techniques to try. I tend to gravitate towards rustic-vintage/shabby chic with lots of distressing! I am inspired by wonderful photos (of my 3 kids mostly) and awesome patterned papers. I have been fortunate enough to have several of my layouts published in both print and online magazines and my blog featured a handful of times.

I am currently on the design teams for Scrapbook Star and Scrapbook News and Review Magazine. To view more of my work, please visit my BLOG at: http://eachmoment-onlyonce.blogspot.com/

Hi there Everyone. My name is Erika Taylor and I originally hale from Calgary Alberta. My husband, who is my biggest supporter and fan, and our 2 zany children, moved to Saskatchewan last year. Small town living is pretty comfortable and we love the fact that we can concentrate on the things we love without worrying about the hustle bustle.

I have loved art and crafting for a very long time, but just last autumn, started making cards and paper crafting. There is something very therapeutic about creating in my craft space. I'm a big fan of techniques and bling and I love stepping outside my comfort zone on a regular basis. You never know what you may create and fall in love with when you do this.

I have been published in Scrapbook News and Reviews as well as Scrapbooking.com's online magazines. I'm grateful to be a part of the Scrapbook Star family and absolutely love creating for you.

Hi!  I’m Lesley Langdon.  I live in Ontario with my husband Mark, and three children. As if that doesn’t keep me busy enough, I have added this all consuming hobby known as scrapbooking!  I am very excited to be a part of this team at Scrapbook Star.

I began stamping and card making in 2006, and quickly found scrapbooking as a wonderful way to document my family’s history.

I love to create projects of all types, and they usually include ink, stamps, and loads of embellishments.  I am inspired by other people’s creations, journaling, and overall ability to create something from nothing.

My scrapbook layouts are usually filled with creative "clutter" in the shabby chic style.  Right now, my favourite colour combination in kraft brown, dark red, and light blue.

Hi, my name is Glenda Tkalac and I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. I am super pumped to be designing for Scrapbook Star!

I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have 2 kids and 2 fur babies. I work full time but would love to be able to just make stuff full time! I love experimenting with different products and techniques and thinking outside the box. In addition to being a scrap addict I also love making ATC's, art journal pages, mini albums and canvases.

One of the reasons I love scrapping is to preserve memories because I have a horrid memory!! I also just love playing with all of the fun toys like the paper and scissors and embellies. I joke that I have so much patterned paper that I could paper my entire house twice over with it! haha I love scrapping about the everyday things as well as my family.

When I am in my art room time stands still and my heart is happy and my soul is free to fly. I have been blessed to have been published in numerous magazines and publications and if you would like to stop by and visit me you can drop by my blog

Hi, my name is Tina aka cyberbumz!  I am a graphic artist/designer.  I started scrapbooking in Sept. 2008 when my fiancée was working nights and joined Scrapbook Star when I stumbled upon it searching for a LSS.  If you want the latest techniques, products, classes or just need to vent then this is the board for you. 

I am engaged and been with my man for 3 ½ years.  I am a mother to a wonderful son, Alex who is 20.  Scary how the time flies!  I am living with my fiancée, Michel and 2 weeks a month I am a stepmother to two boys, Simon & Francis, ages 10 & 13.  Life is certainly keeping me on my toes.

I am always trying out new techniques so my style changes a bit but one thing that doesn’t is that I fill my page.  I do have to admit that I am a junky when it comes to gadgets.  I love my slice machine, and lately the I-top brad maker.  My favourite companies right now are Basic Grey, Fancy Pants, Cosmo Cricket, Prima, Crate Paper & Bo Bunny.

I have been published several times with ReadySetCreate (an online magazine).  This winter I was published twice with Canadian Scrapbooker.  I am super excited to be on the DT and look forward to continuing friendships, meeting new members & seeing everyone’s take on challenges and daily inspirations!
