Hi everyone! My name is Allison Cope Israels. I am a stay at home Mom to one little boy, Spencer and wife to my best friend, Todd. Our small family of three live in a little town in British Columbia called Sparwood, the gateway to BC and a coal mining community. Our family enjoys off roading in our Jeep, going swimming at the community center and hiking trails in good weather. I've been scrapbooking for 4 years now and have had the honour of being part of the The Bug Design Team for a year. I am also lucky to be a part of the Scrapbook and Cards Today magazine as their Blog Editor and also their Sketch Designer for 2009. I am also lucky to be a designer for the Canadian stamp company, my Stamp BOX. Thanks to Kim and Cherie and the rest of the team at the Scrapping Bug! I know 2009 is going to be a great year for everyone! Keep creatin'!
Hello! My name is Cherie Nymeyer. I've been fortunate enough to work at The Scrapping Bug since June 2005 and now being asked to join the Online Design Team is icing on the cake. I love being a part of a design team and working with the many talented ladies I'm lucky enough to design alongside here. I've been scrapbooking since the end of 2003 when I was looking for a unique way to display my wedding photos. A friend and co-worker introduced me to this amazing art form and The Scrapping Bug and the addiction began. I've been published in numerous magazines and idea books which is always exciting but my favourite part of the whole process is just sitting down with a myriad of products surrounding me and then diving in. I've been told that I scrap incredibly fast but I think this is because I never have a plan going into a page. I just cut and hope for the best! LOL! I'll make it work some way or another! Scrapbooking is all about having fun for me so I don't like to create or follow any "rules".
Happy Scrapping!
Hi! My name is Deanne Burton and I live in the beautiful province of Newfoundland. I am a wife, mom to 2 teenage boys, sister, daughter and a teacher to a group of wonderful grade 6's. I've been scrapbooking ever since 2003. I am very passionate about scrapbooking and every chance I get (which is about EVERY DAY!) I spend it creating something. My favorite time is SUMMER when I get two full months of ME time to scrap 'til I drop! I am so excited to be a member of the design team for "The Scrapping Bug"! I am happy to be able to share my creativity with you!
Hi there! My name is Kim aka: kimmiec. I just returned full time to the work force as a legal secretary after staying home to raise my two daughters, Marissa, 13 and Victoria, 6. I have been married to my honey, Dan for almost 8 years now. They are the focus of my scrapbooking and victims of the Mamarazzi :) I have been scrapping now for about 6 years and find it very soothing after a hard day/week. I have been published several times in various magazines in the industry and have recently asked to serve on Piggy Tales DT for the next year, a dream come true! I look forward to being part of the BUG team!!!
Hi! My name is Melanie Faber and I’ve been an avid scrapbooker for about 4 years now. I’m a busy single mom living in Woodstock, Ontario and I’ve always used my scrapping as a retreat, doing it usually after my kids go to bed. I love playing around with new techniques and am absolutely addicted to Thickers, anything by Basic Grey and Scenic Route, and buttons. Over the years, I’ve proved myself to be a pretty impressive collector of scrapbook “stuff” (c’mon, we all have it), but since I’m an engineer in the Automotive industry and times are tough, I’ve recently learned how to rediscover my stash – and it’s actually fun, finding things you’ve forgotten about! I’ve taught at The Bug and some other local scrapbook stores and I was previously lucky enough to be on the Design Team at the Scrapping Bug for two terms and had to leave when life got a little hectic. I’m happy to say that things have since settled down and I find myself back with some time to devote to my favourite hobby. I am looking forward to showing you what I have to offer and to learn from all of you!
Hello, my name is Shannon L'Heureux. I am a 31 year old Mom of one beautiful four 1/2 year old boy named Jakeb, who is full of spunk, energy and beauty. Although he gives me a run for my money, he is the light of my life and heart. I'm married to my best friend and soul mate Herve. We have been together now for almost 8 years. After deciding that full time work was taking away from my family life I decided to stay at home and then soon discovered a part-time position at the best Lss ever!!! The Scrapping Bug. I just adore Scrapbooking and everything that comes with it (with the exception of the loss of funds in my wallet). I'm an anything goes type of scrapper with no specific style. My loving sister Cherie who has also become my best friend introduced me to the hobby and we enjoy creating together. My first time ever being published will be in the "Spring 2009" issue of Scrapbook and Cards Today! one of the best mags out there! I feel so privileged and happy to be a part of the Design Team for the Bug! I can't wait to start creating!
