Hi there! It's Erin Yamabe here, and am so thrilled to be on this amazing MLS DT and be one of Helen's DT Coordinators! I'm a sahm Mom to two beautiful little girls, who test me daily, and as a reward, are most of my subjects of my scrapbooking:) If I'm not hanging out with family or dear friends, you can find me trying to work magic behind the lens, in a zumba or yoga class, volunteering at my girls' schools, or enjoying a date night with my supportive hubby. My work can be found in print Scrapbooking Magazines in Japan, Scrapbook Memories TV Show, and QVC. I teach at my lss and just love it! |

Hi! My name is Pattie Beltran and I'm thrilled to be a part of My Little Shoebox and one of the dt coordinators. I love working with My Little Shoebox! The colors are bright, the patterns are cheerful, and the embellsihments are so cute and user friendly!

I've been crafting all of my life and scrapbooking for 12 years now. I love all things paper (I'm kind of addicted- anyone else out there like me? hee hee), and love bling, ribbon, lace, and flowers.

Hello, my name is Heather and I am a SAHM of 3 amazing children 2 boys and 1 girl. I have been married to my High School sweet heart for 11 years now, the Lord has blessed our marriage so much and I can look back and see His hand in our lives since the beginning. We live in sunny Southern California and serve at our local church as youth leaders.
I found scrap booking when I came back from our honeymoon and I had 500 pictures and had no idea what to do with them. I wanted to do something special so I went to my local craft store and found all these amazing papers and embellishments. It was so fun and I was hooked from that moment on. I look back now at that album and am thankful that I have grown in my hobby. Since then my passion has expanded to card making and altering projects in my home. I teach at many local stores in my area and at various events. It is my desire to continue to learn and grow in my creative expressions in hopes that I might inspire others to do the same.

Howdy! My name is Nicole Wragge and I live in the Bay Area with my dear husband and two silly daughters. I am blessed to be a stay at home mom and it has brought such joy and a deep sense of thankfulness to my life. My family keeps me pretty busy with play dates and charity events, but when I get some "me" time I usually spend it scrapping, taking photos of the everyday super-fun chaos and listening to music. I have been scrapping a few years, however it wasn't until recently did I discover the true depth of this amazing craft. When inspiration hits me it's time to brainstorm, sketch, raid my ever-growing stash and CREATE! I have been known for hosting family picnics in our living room because the kitchen table is covered with my in-the-works projects!
I am a huge fan and friend of My Little Shoebox, creating for them before in their spring 2009 catalog and their appearance on the Scrapbook Memories TV show. I feel so very lucky to be a part of this design team and I look forward to all the creativity to come! Creative Cheers!

Hello! My name is Pamela Young, and am thrilled and honored to be a part of the awesome My Little Shoebox team for another term!
I absolutely LOVE scrapbooking. It is a way of life for me. :) My style keeps evolving. I love to try new things. I also tend to stick with my favorite techniques and designs. If I find something I love, I tend to use it a lot. People have told me that they will see something by me and know it is mine before reading who did it. So I must have the "Pamela" style. :) I have been published in several different magazines (Cards, Creating Keepsakes, Memory Makers, Scrapbooks and Cards Today, Scrapbooks Etc, and Scrapbook Trends). Currently I am also designing for Punky Sprouts, Tattered Angels, and Helmar Adhesives. I also write for ScrapStreet magazine. I keep an updated blog at http://pamelasworldofscrap.blogspot.com/.
I live in beautiful Colorado, and I am a SAHM to two wild boys, ages 7 and 5, and a one year old girl. They grow up so fast. I am enjoying life right now, even though it can get a bit chaotic. J I have a wonderful husband who is supportive of my crafting obsession. We have been married for 10 years. Family plays a big part in my life. |

Erin Payne is so delighted to be on the My Little Shoebox design team for a second term. She began scrapbooking while her hubby was in grad school, and she needed something to keep her busy. Since then she has been teaching classes at the local stores, hostessing scrapbook getaway weekends, making funny videos, and keeping it real all the time. She looks forward to long walks on the beach, and any sporting event with ice cold coke pop, and fries. She has almost mastered juggling flaming decorative scissors, and can be found wearing blue jeans, and flip flops, and wandering in and out of cupcake bakeries. She is a magazine junkie, romantic movie-a-holic, lover of good books, and can be heard talking in weird voices. She would like to thank the 3 cave men at home, who let her out of the cave every once in a while, and a great big thank you to the amazing girls at My Little Shoebox for this wonderful opportunity and for making it so much fun! |

I know I’m supposed to write a bio about myself, but I’m just like you. I love to scrap. I love to create. I laugh. I cry. I find beauty in everyday. I volunteer (a ton) at my kids’ schools (Grad Nite Chair, Athletic Boosters Board member, team mom for several sports, fundraiser, carpooler, cheerleader…) I’m married to the most WONDERFUL man (Jeff) and have 3 kids who are mostly wonderful (gotta love the teens!)… Jessica (20), Christian (17) and Anna (6)… oh, and I can’t forget our favorite hairy mammal, our puppy, Abby! I’m a homemaker. I’m overweight, but just completed my first triathlon and am training for my first century (100 mile) bike ride. I love to sing at the top of my lungs in the car. I love to hear my kids laugh. I love St. Patrick’s Day. I love cruises and I love camping. I love being barefoot. I love the smell of coffee in the morning. I love the sound of rain on the roof. And did I mention… I LOVE MY LITTLE SHOEBOX!
I am thrilled to be a part of this fun and colorful team! I am also a member of the Graphic 45 Design Team and was a member of the Rusty Pickle DT until they closed earlier this year. I love to write (I know, shock) and have been lucky enough to have not only my scrap work published, but many articles and tutorials, too. You can read the details of my resume here. I would LOVE for you to get to know me through my blog called, “WOOOOO HOOOOO!” If you are interested in scrappy ideas, following my Project 365 and/or RAKs, I would love to have you as a blog follower!
So… now that you know a bit about me… how much ARE we alike!? I already know we have one thing in common… our love for My Little Shoebox. Here’s to new friendships, new MLS products, and lots of MLS fun! Make it a Woo Hoo kinda day! |

Hello, my name is Melanie Stanczyk!
I'm so excited to continue on with My Little Shoebox! You can find me in my little scrapbook nook in Wisconsin almost every night and weekend! I live with my husband, Scott and our 3 children, Kaden, Khila and Brandon. I'm very fortunate my family understands my passion/obsession for scrapbooking and because of that, they are my favorite subjects to scrap. Luckily, they are always willing to be photographed at any given moment!
I like to use “unexpected” elements in my designs such as wood, fabric or vintage pieces. I take pleasure in spending extra time to add little details on my projects. I enjoy helping others with this craft by teaching them tips and techniques. I believe we all learn so much from scrapbooking together. So let's get those photos out of the shoebox and onto the cute My Little Shoebox papers!
Please stop and say hello when you visit my blog: http://melaniestanczyk-justbeingcreative.blogspot.com/ |

Hi! I'm Debbie, and I live in Wyoming with my husband, Jeff. I am so excited and honored to be a part of the My Little Shoebox Design Team! When I was introduced to scrapbooking , over 30 years ago, it seemed like a natural fit for me. Since then, scrapbooking has become my daily passion. Scrapbooking is my way of staying close to my grand children who live 500 miles away. Scrapbooking their photos is my way of watching them grow up. My inspiration is derived from my family - our celebrations and our heartaches - and everything in between. Good photography, a strong sense of design, use of color, texture and movement are the cornerstones of my pages. I hope you all enjoy my creations and I look forward to inspiring you as a member of the My Little Shoebox Design Team. |

Hi, Susan Dupre here. I am a wife and a mom of a fabulous little boy who is my favorite scrapping subject. I have been scrapping now for about three years, and I absolutely love it!! I have been on several manufacturer teams, and I have been fortunate enough to have been published in various magazines as well. All, which makes me feel truly blessed. However, the most rewarding part of scrapping is the amazing people that I have met throughout my journey. I looking forward to my term with My Little Shoebox and calling my fellow design team members friends. Thanks MLS! It will be such an honor to design for such a fabulous company! |

Hello Scrappers, My name is Taj White I live in Tx. I have been scrapping for 3 years, and I love it. I love color, all things floral, bling, tons of layers, and rub on's. Yes, I have a secret obsession with rub on's, LOL. I enjoy putting time into the fine details of my projects. My favorite scrappy subjects are my 3 really funny children (Jeremiah, Madison, Bailey). I adore fashion just as much as I adore scrapping. I like to dress up, wear makeup, and take lots of photos. I like to stand in my scrap room once a day and smell the paper in the event I can't create that day. I am super excited to be designing for My Little Shoebox and look forward to having lots of fun!! |

Hey y'all! I'm Deanna and I live with my family in east Tennessee. Right now I'm a stay-at-home mom for our two little girls, and we have a little boy on the way! When I'm not being a mommy (though that never really ends), I enjoy scrapping, taking TONS of pictures, learning more about photography, gardening, reading, and watching sports. We're a really big sports-oriented family, and I especially love college football! I also love being outdoors and my favorite place to relax is our family lake house. I started scrapping 8 years ago, just after my husband and I got married. Since then my love for the hobby has not only grown into a passion, but an addiction! There's just something about capturing our family moments and documenting them for future generations. Of course I love the creativity aspect of it too! I mean, who doesn't want their pages to look cute, right?! My favorite "toys" that I love to play with are patterned papers, ribbons, trims, buttons, and flowers of all kinds. I so excited to be a part of the MLS team, and can't wait to share parts of my life and passion with you! |

Hello scrappers! My name is Aphra, and I live down South in Louisiana with my Alaskan oil man Jeff and our two boys, Jonathan (9) and Ethan (3). While my husband is tromping around in the Alaskan tundra for weeks at a time, I'm home working part-time at a doctor's office, chasing around two rowdy boys, cleaning up after our miniature dachshund Max, and staying up into the wee hours of the night scrapbooking.
I fell in love with this hobby back in 2000 when my oldest son was born, and I get more and more addicted with each new product release. It's my passion, my creative outlet, my sanity! Mostly, I create layouts of my family, but I also enjoy making cards, gifts, and decor. Honestly, I will use any excuse to get to scrapbook! |

Hello from Albany Oregon! I am thrilled to be invited to join the MLS team! A little about me: I am a mother of 4, grandmother of 1 (clearly a young grandma...lol), happily married, and a full time RN in intensive care. My passion for scrap booking started in 2005 after the devastating loss of my brother in law while he was serving in Iraq. It is amazing how much healing comes from creating and documenting life's events. I also love photography, traveling, teaching, inspiring, sharing, and playing with family and friends! Favorites: buttons, color, layers, and texture! I look forward to a creative year! |

Hiya! My name is Kathleen and I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of this team!! I live in Western Australia, married for 9 years to my teenage sweetheart, Jason, and have a cheeky 3 year old boy, Clay. I started scrapbooking about 6 years ago and became a complete addict once my son was born - nowadays a day rarely goes by when I don’t do something scrappy – it really is such a huge part of my life. I also enjoy teaching at my local scrap store, and dabbling in photography – I find it gets me down to my son’s level and allows me to capture things I may have otherwise missed. I love all things bright and whimsical, playing with fabrics and paints, different textures, and always try to put my own spin on the products I use. |

My name is Hilde Janbroers. I'm 31 years old, married and mother to 2 lovely girls. I started scrapbooking 3,5-4 years ago. I never stopped since. It relaxes me, helps me express myself and just is a part of who I am.
I love to work with lots of layers and embellishments. Think the title Shabby chic will fit me most.
The brightness of the products My Little Shoebox have really makes me smile. I love the cute images and the wonderful shaped papers. I'm really thankful My Little Shoebox is giving me the opportunity to be on their team.
Can't wait to get started! |

Hi, I'm June. I'm a stay-at-home mum to two energetic boys (2 and 7 yrs old). I'm blessed to be married to a wonderful husband who is supportive of my crafting obsession. We live in sunny Singapore. I started digital scrapbooking in November 2005. A friend gave me a scrapbooking kit for Christmas in 2006 and I'm addicted to paper scrapbooking ever since. I constantly inspired by the things that I see everyday. Scrapbook has been my place to escape and relax after the kids go to bed at night. My scrapbook style has moved from clean lines to a more layered look but I love adding embellishments to the page to highlight the photos. |

Hi Everyone! I'm Cindy!!
I am a SAHM of a beautiful, sweet, 5 year old little boy and wife of almost 10 years to my AMAZING & equally sweet husband and we are proud to call Atlantic Canada our home. I have always been a crafter (I've dabbled in cross stitching, dried flower arrangements, sewing, knitting & crocheting over the years). I have been scrapping for 4+ years and soon became scrappy addicted. This REALLY started to become an obsession when I discovered the LSS and the online community. I was literally on the internet for WEEKS continuously searching out work that inspired me. That's all it took & I was HOOKED!!
I am a TOTAL paper collector/hoarder and can never have enough (but I am sure my hubby wouldn't agree!!), I put buttons, clouds and stitching on almost EVERY SINGLE LO. I have been published in Scrapbook Trends, Canadian Scrapbooker & Scrapbooking and Beyond. I am deeply humbled and extremely honored to be asked to join this fabulous pool of talent.

Hi There, my name is Beckie, originally from the South of England but after many years of travelling have settled in Scotland with my hubby and our two wee girls, who keep me on my toes daily.
As well as creating with fun products I love to take my camera and head out with the family into the hills or down the beach, these are great places to find the lost mojo that has decided to take a wee holiday!
My early memories of crafting were with my gran when I used to go and visit and she would show me all the things she had made. I love to scrapbook and make cards and can often be seen at the school gates glistening with glitter!
I have had work published in the UK and US magazines and also enjoying teaching the joy of scrapbooking!
Basically I am just a girl who has been let loose with paper and scissors, living life to the full and scrapping to preserve it! |
