Lena Brandenburg
When I was six years old, I came home with the following note on my report card..."Jolena is a bright child but she finishes her work and disrupts the other students."
Well, nothing has changed. I went on to be bright and disruptive for many years, eventually graduating from Wright State University with a degree in Organizational Leadership. While that degree looks pretty on the wall, my true calling is staying home with my two children. Nathan is in second grade and Naomi is just days away from turning one.
I spend my days chasing around my children with a camera, cleaning up after their messes and feeding them constantly...in my free time when I'm not scrapping I'm knitting, hiking, or watching movies.
My husband David has been a really good sport about me discovering digital scrapbooking. Only three months after we married he became very acquainted with the back of my head while I stared at the computer. There actually is a possibility he wouldn't remember what I looked like if he didn't carry a picture with him.
Seriously though, if I couldn't scrap I don't know what I would do. While I still sell my designs at ACOT, I'm no longer actively designing other than the occasional collab or charity kit contribution. That has freed up my time to scrap a little more and snuggle my husband and kids a lot more...and that's really what it's all about!

Hi, my name is Kim Higueria. I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington and attended college at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where I met my husband. Together we have one son, Caleb Michael, our little miracle baby, born November 5, 2005. He is now a crazy toddler who keeps me on my toes! We are now back in the town that I grew up in and love.
I have been in love with crafts and making things as long as I can remember. I started out taping things together from my Grandma's recycling bin when i was 4 and started paper scrapping when I was 12.
I discovered the digiscrapping world shortly after Caleb was born. I was looking for birth announcements, but couldn't find any that I liked. So armed with some knowledge of photoshop from my sister the photographer and a few freebies I had found online, I set off on this great digi adventure! A few months after that I started creating my own papers and elements and in April 2006 I started selling my designs at a small store.
When I'm not scrapping or designing in my free time, you can usually find me reading, cooking or playing with my son.
Here are a few random facts about me!
-I am the 2nd of 7 kids (6 girls, 1 boy)
-I love popcorn
-One of my favorite TV shows is Hannah Montana, my son even likes watching it
-My favorite flower is the stargazer lily
-My favorite book series is the Chronicles of Narnia, I could read the entire series over and over. My favorite is the Voyage of the Dawn Treader
-My favorite season is Autumn, I love the beautiful colors of the leaves, the cooler weather and anything that smells like or tastes like pumpkin!

Faith True
My name is Faith True, and yes, that is my real name. I was born Faith and my husband's last name is True so that worked out wonderfully! I have a 2 (almost 3) year old son named Arthur and he can be a joy- or a terror at times, but loveable none the less. My husband is Jonathan and we live in Georgia, US. I am surrounded by his family living on all sides of our house but I wouldn't have it any other way. Hey, I get along with them and it is free rent!
I started selling at Addicted To Digital last year (no longer a store) and I currently only sell at The Digi Shoppe and One of a Kind Scrapz. Last year, I also had a great opportunity to create two hybrid kits for Cross My Heart. It was amazing to see my designs on actual paper.
Some fun things about me-
-I am a born again Christian. I believe in Jesus Christ and I believe he is the only way to Heaven.
-I grew up as oldest of 7 children but when I was 21 I found out I had an older sister who was given up for adoption by my mother. I have actually met her too.
-I moved many times as a child and young adult. I attended 9 schools and neither of my parents were in the military.
-I have always been an artist in one form or another. I draw, paint, and now of course- digital designing. I am also a musician of sorts. I play the flute, piccolo, viola and a little piano.
-I was in the Army National Guard for 4 years. I was discharged on September 10, 2001. How is that for timing? I believe God had a plan!

Mish Gasser
Hi, I’m Mish Gasser, aka ohiotubagal around the forums. I’ve been digiscrapping for over two years now and started designing Quick Pages about a year and a half ago. Now I sell exclusively at Plain Digital Wrapper and loving it! This is the first hobby I’ve ever done for more than a month LOL. The community is so warm and inviting, and I’ve made so many good friends this way. J
In my “real life”, I have been married for 13 years to my sweetie Rob, and we have fraternal twin girls who will be 5 next month. If you’ve ever looked at my gallery, you’ve seen them in almost all of my pages. I am SAHM and I enjoy music (playing flute and singing, mostly at church), traveling, gardening and of course scrapping and designing.
I’m so honored to be working with these talented designers, and I hope you enjoy our creation!

Pamela Gibson
My name is Pamela Gibson. I'm 21 years old. I met my husband when I was 18 and we got married this past July in my hometown of Surrey, BC at my local church that I grew up attending. My husband is from England so when I graduated high school I moved to England to go to university where I'm currently studying History. Last August we had our first little boy, well he is a dog, but he is my baby boy. He's my scrap-inspiration. He is a little model and loves to have his picture taken so I have several hundred pictures of him on my computer and on dvds. My husband works doing something with computers for the national health service. We live in a crappy apartment where the windows whistle like trains when its windy and none of the doors shut anymore because they either shrank or grew. lol.
In September 2005 I was bored and watching QVC and it was crafting day. I saw this really cute Christmas card-making kit and convinced my husband to buy it for me. After Christmas with some of my Christmas money i watched another QVC craft day and saw a scrapbooking kit. I thought it would be good for card-making so i bought it with no intention of actually scrapbooking. Once it got here i thought, why not and I loved it. Unfortunately I didnt have the money to continue paper-scrapping so I went looking for another way and came across Scrapbook-bytes. I started making friends and loving the art of digital scrapbooking and was immediately hooked. In February of 2006 I joined a design yahoo group and got my start designing kits. After quite a bit of time on it, I got accepted as a Design Team Member of Gottapixel and a store spot at digital freebies.
In November I left GottaPixel and helped a friend start a site. In December I left Digital Freebies and bought the site my friend had started with my two best friends. We have since been working on getting Scrap2Basics to get a bit of notice and I lately also started to sell at Divine Digital. I have since started selling at One of a kind Scrapz. I discovered DST in October and I have been addicted to it since then, and I mean hours a day addicted. Now i spend my time at dst and watching little house on the prairie and road to avonlea while i scrap and design.

Kim finds inspiration in the world around her, especially fashion and home decor. You can find Kim's products at CG Essentials and A Cherry On Top.

Traci Reed
Hi! My name is Traci Reed. My family and I live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in sunny California! I've been married to my wonderful husband Patrick since 2004 and we have two sons, Karsten who is 3 and Josiah who is 1. My boys love all things with wheels; cars, trains, bicycles and motorcycles and they keep me busy! They bring constant joy and laughter to our lives and I'm just bursting with pride over them!
I've been scrapbooking ever since I was a little girl, when my Mom took me to my first stamping party. I was hooked back then and I'm hooked now. I must admit I was never a good paper scrapper and think that I have since found my style in digiscrapping. I've always had a knack for design and computers, so the leap into digital scrapbook design was more like a shuffle for me. I've been designing product since January of 2005 and I've never looked back! I can honestly say that I've found my true calling and I am truly blessed that it allows me to stay home with my kiddos. Yes, they drive me nuts, but boy is that a blessing! LOL!
My style is very fun, and realistic. I love grunge and highly textured papers and elements that give your layout that certain "POP!" I often cater to more masculine palettes (since I'm in a house full of testosterone!) but I am such a girly girl, that I can't stay away from the frilliness! I like to say that most of what I design can be used for either sex and practically any set of pictures, but you just can't keep me away from pink for long! Did I mention I was a girly girl?

Toni Berman
Hi all! I'm Toni Berman, a 28 year old mother and wife to the most wonderful children and husband I could have ever hoped for. I live in Wisconsin, just a few blocks from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and about 60 miles from my hometown in Michigan. Being a mommy is my first priority, as I have an 8 year old son, Treyson and a 2 year old daugher, Peyton. They are the loves of my life, along with my husband, Davin... but designing is my "thing"! Designing is what I do to get away from the normal everyday things in life, my escape. It let's me keep my creative side satisfied and I love every second of it! I work part time in sales for a cellular phone company. I also enjoy sewing and crafting at home, and always have some project going on around the house!
I don't exactly know what my "style" is. I love to make a little of everything and I hate to "re-use" things, so I try to make things very different from what I have created previously! This is why you will see a little of everything in my store from alphas and templates to full kits and lots of elements!
