Hello Everyone! I am McSmitty Girl (my chosen DT name) and I would like to thank-you for taking the time to read about me.  

In the Summer of 2007, my Mom held a Baby Shower in my honour as my Husband and I were expecting our first Son. Typically you receive alot of gifts for the baby, which I did and most enjoyed and used (even to this day). But it was my Aunt Marg, you know you who are who gave me the gift I would personally enjoy the most. My first scrapbooking kit and album!

I remember clear as day, all the coordinating papers and embellishments, my dreams of how, what I would record. Then somehow my scrapbooking dreams were put off even when my son was born in November 2007. That would all change in March 2008 when my desire to record my son's life journey into this world was resurrected.

One day I was watching the Shopping Channel and a segment on Scrapbooking with Tina Lewis (aka Memories Direct) was inspired by the massive 9500+ pc Scrapbooking Kit offered. I asked my husband to watch with me another show airing and together we knew this was something for me to get into especially now that I was on Maternity Leave for the year. So after getting that kit home plus my gift from Aunt Marg, I scrapped and scrapped. I soon discovered eBay to stretch my scrapbooking dollar and fortunately for me that is where I met Nini!

Today, I've expanded my paper crafting to include card making, home decor but not forgetting my main passion scrapbooking! I use the Cricut machine as my main source for my all creations including the embellishments, matting, titling, you name it! Some of my favourite paper craft brands include: Basic Grey, American Crafts, SEI and DCVW. I love reading Canadian Scrapbooker and Creating Keepsakes magazines as well visiting various message boards all related to the Cricut.

Bonjour, je m'appelle Kim Larivière, j'ai 23 ans. Je viens de la campagne en Mauricie, Québec. Je suis partie de chez moi très tôt pour cause d'emmerdement total dans ma ville. Je rêvais des grands building de Montréal et de liberté. Je suis donc déménagé avec mon chum dans cette grande ville qui me faisait tant rêver. J'y ai fait mes études en graphisme.

Au bout de quelques temps je me suis rendue compte que la ville ou je voulais tant vivre m'a vraiment apportée beaucoup d'ennuis, vol de ma voiture, de mon appartement, et j'ai subi 1 tentative d'enlèvement, 2 vols à main armé dans le commerce ou je travaillais. Et j'ai été attaqué une fois. 

Alors quand j'ai appris que j'étais enceinte moi et mon conjoint avons décidé de nous "exiler" la où c'est tranquille. Nous avons acheté une belle grande maison dans le fin fond de la campagne et la vie se passe calmement. Nous avons eu par la suite eu 2 autres enfants.

Mes 3 petits amours et mon grand, son ma source d'inspiration. J'ai découvert le scrapbooking un peu par hasard, sans vraiment savoir que ça existait lors de mes études au cégep.

J'ai fait pendant longtemps du scrap digital en créant moi-même mes kits. Par la suite j'ai eu le coup de foudre pour les papiers Basic Grey, My Mind's Eyes et Magenta. Ce fût trop pour moi. J'ai laissé le scrapbooking digital de coté pour me consacrer au "vieux scrap"!

Je n'ai toutefois pas tourné le dos à ma formation de graphiste. Je créé encore beaucoup, que ce soit de la conception de logos, de cartes d'affaires ou autres. Je reste active! Et j'ai une tonne de .svg pour utiliser avec ma chère Cricut adoré! Alors me voici me voilà dans toute ma simplicité! Au plaisir!

Hi! I am Rebecca Keppel. In a former life I was a corporate attorney living in San Francisco. After my daughter was born, my husband and I decided to move our little family to Arizona. We are still adjusting to the extreme heat, but overall we love the family atmosphere here. In 2007 our little guy was born. They are now 4 and 2. I have been a stay at home mom for the last 4 years. 

When we moved out to the suburbs a friend of mine from San Francisco told me I would be scrapbooking before I knew it! And indeed it was around that time that I discovered all the tools, products and goodies that go along with this addictive hobby. What started as a way to create a baby album for my daughter turned into much more.

Although I have been "journaling" and taking tons of pictures my whole life, it wasn't until I saw scrapbooking as whole that everything clicked for me and the obsession began! I love to scrapbook my kids because (and I know I am biased here) they are over the top photogenic and because I love remembering the little stories, anecdotes and trials and tribulations we go through as a family. I also scrap my husband and our relationship. And I can honestly say I do like to scrap myself. I find it very therapeutic!

I am so excited to be a part of the Posh Designs Scrapbook Store Design Team and look forward to working with this amazingly talented group of designers!

Hello everyone! My name is Racquel Brown and I am a wife, mother, teacher and passionate scrapbooker. My obsession began in 2004 right after my daughter was born.

My husband is photographer and when our daughter was about 3 weeks old he took some black and white photos of her. When I saw them, I couldn't just put them in an album... they were much too beautiful for that.

I had to find a way to showcase not just the photos, but the memories that went with them. It was not too long after  that I was immersed into the world of scrapbooking and I have been loving it ever since!

Five years later, my passion has grown to include altering anything I can find, making albums and other personalized gifts for my family and friends.

Whenever I look at my creations, especially those I make for my children, I think of how awesome it is to know that these treasures will live on and be enjoyed by generations to come.
