Single page team: July - December

Please welcome my lovely single page team!

 Loreto

Hi!, my name is Loreto Barsby (instagram @lorebarsby), I’m Chilean and I live in Santiago with my husband and two little daughters. I met the scrapbook in 2013 and since then it was love a first sight and I don’t go a day without seeking scrappy inspiration.

My Family  are the primary subject matter of my layout, they are my inspirations for scrapping, I'm rarely without a camera to capture the moment. I don’t really have a certain style, but I would define my style as simple an colorful. I’m so excited to be a part of the Stick It Down!!!

My name is Khristina and I live in the Arizona with my husband and three adventurous children. I am a Registered Nurse and also spent nearly ten years teaching middle school and high school students through the Teach for America program. I have been a crafter and scrapbooker since I was a child and taught in a scrapbook store throughout college. I love to complete traditional layouts as well as pocket scrapbooking spreads along with cards, home, and party décor  with my supplies. I really enjoy working with sketches as a jumping off point to create something amazing using my stash.  I really love to meet and network with crafters from around the world and am really looking forward to working with all of you to push the creative envelope and try new things.

I’m Laura Rumble, an M.E. suffering crafty scrapping Auntie in my early thirties from the UK.  Besides creating and spending time with my nephew I enjoy nature and food, and they often become my scrapping topics.  I’d describe my style as lots of white with pops of bright colours and I usually have sequins and/or ribbon on my layouts!

Katy

Hi, I'm Katy. I'm a busy twin mum from Essex in England. I don't get as much time to scrap as I'd like - so sketches are perfect for me! They provide the inspiration and I get to do the fun side of creating! My style is very much heavy on adding bits - I'm not a blank space kind of girl, but I'm looking forward to being pushed out of my comfort zone with some of the sketches. I'm honoured to have been picked for the stick it down design team, I've been following the challenges for over a year and I love the variety of cards and layouts they have helped me produce. I'm looking forward to seeing what I produce over the next six months!

Niki

 

Hey there, I'm Niki. I live near London in tihe UK with my hubby and our two young kiddies, Sophie age 5 and Max age 3, who are pretty much always the subjects of my layouts. Aside from being a full time mum, near enough full time childminder, I would also call myself a full time scrapper! I teach scrapbooking classes locally, am on the Hey Little Magpie design team, the Silhouette UK design team and GoGo Getaway design team and I average around 30 layouts per month! I just love playing with pretty paper and glittery things and enjoy keeping all those memories of my babies and my day to day life. My favourite manufacturers right now are Crate Paper and Cocoa Vanilla Studio, oh and Pinkfresh Studio and I would describe my scrappy style as a 'throw it all on' kind of style. I love to drink vanilla coffee and eat shortbread biscuits while I scrap. Thanks so much for having me on the Stick it Down design team I can't wait to get my scrap on with you! xx

Hi, I'm Lorraine. I live in a pretty rural location in East Anglia, UK. I am a Daughter, Wife, Mum and Nanny with a passion for scrapbooking and pretty paper. As a busy mum and nanny I love nothing better than documenting special memories and everyday moments within my scrapbooks. I have enjoyed this fantastic hobby for over 15 years and love sharing this passion with like minded people. 

I am co-owner and design team member of GoGo Getaway, a scrapbooking retreat company here in the UK. I have been excited to teach at many events in the UK over the years and have been pleased as punch to written articles for craft magaiznes and featuring in publications in the UK. 

I would describe my style as fun and quirky as I love to add those little touches such as cute woodland animals. At the moment I am loving Shimelle's ranges, especially Little By Little  followed closely by Cocoa Vanilla. I am really looking forward to sharing my sketches and layouts with you all. Thank you so much for inviting me on the Stick it Down design team.
