Antonia

Hi, I’m Antonia, I live in the UK with my family. I’m an occupational therapist by day, avid scrapbooker by night and nature wonderer on the weekends. I started scrapbooking about twelve years ago, wanting to capture and record the special moments in my children’s lives, as they grow up. It has since become a passion and a form of therapy – it keeps me sane when life gets a bit crazy! I’ve been on the Stick It Down design team for over three years now – I’m so proud of being part of such a fantastic team!

Lauren

I'm Lauren and I'm from Philadelphia, PA. I've been married to my husband Mike for 15 years.  We had our daughter, Audrey in November of 2021. We have two tuxedo cats, Oliver and Rosie.  I work from home for a yearbook publishing company, so even in my job, I work with photography and page layouts. I started scrapbooking in 2002 and I am absolutely obsessed. My other hobbies include antiquing, photography, reading, gardening, and cooking/baking. I love to travel, and that provides so many scrapportunities for layouts.

Bethany

Hi everyone, I'm Bethany! I'm an elementary school librarian by day and a scrapbooker by night. My husband, sweet puppy and I live in Minnesota! The long Minnesota winters first introduced me to this wonderful hobby and now I can't seem to get enough of it. I love how this hobbies brings so many amazing women together! I look forward to being a part of this amazing team!

Maureen

Hello, I am a mother of 2 & wife to Stan. After scrapbooking and stamping for over 10 years, I became a Close to My Heart (CTMH) Independent Consultant. When I'm not spending time with my family or working, I am thinking all things paper, inks and stamping! I hold 2 classes at my home each month. Please join us!

 Single page team!

 Melissa

 

Hi!  I’m Melissa and I’m excited to be making single pages for SID.  I live in Prairieville, Louisiana.  I was born in La.  and have lived most of my life here.  I’m a stay at home mom to my three kids and one dog.  I started scrapbooking in 2005 when my husband was deployed.  I really felt that was important to document for our kids.  I’ve been hooked since then.  I find scrapping to be very relaxing and I love the process.

Brandi

Hi, I’m Brandi! I am a full-time mama, part-time paper crafter! I live in Maryland with my husband and our two boys, ages 3.5 and almost 2! 

I am currently loving scrapping single page 12x12 layouts with the occasional double page spread. I’ve been scrapbooking since I was in late Elementary school when my Aunt got me started with 8.5x11 albums to hold my Girl Scouts memories and photos. I quickly moved to 12x12 and have too many albums to count! My husband jokes he’s a little concerned about what it’s gonna look like years from now, especially having so many photos of the boys to scrap!

I love using sketches or other design prompts to get started. My favorite part of the process is definitely picking colors and mixing and matching papers and embellishments to create the perfect combo! Happy scrapping! 

 Jane

My name is Jane - I love all things paper! My favorite part of the scrapbooking process, besides the photos, are the papers and embellishments! I have been married for 41 years and my husband and I have 2 children who are adults. We live in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon, with our cat. I spend lots of time in the summer working in our garden and I also love to sew.

Sharon

Hi!  I’m Sharon Bessinger.  I am so excited to be joining Stick it Down and their talented Design Team!  I’m married to Shaun going on 23 years and we have a 3 wonderful kids.   We also have 2 rescue dogs, Pippin and Shandy, 7 chickens, and a bunny… I’ve always been an artsy person, I am a silversmith as well.  From the time I was little, I loved to color and create fun projects.  A couple of years after our oldest son was born (20 years ago), I was introduced to scrapbooking. I fell in love with it.  I love creating in my craft room with paper and a cup of coffee, listening to my echo podcasts or music.

Mandi

I am a Michigan girl who has a crafty obsession. Thanks to my parents, I was encouraged to be creative at a very young age. I don't really have a style anymore since I love trying new things but one this stays the same with me is that I love layers. When you can't find me in my studio I am most likely to be found in the kitchen cooking.

Monica

My name is Monica and I live in IL with my husband and 3 boys (Well 2 now, since my oldest is now in the Air Force). To pay bills and support the crafting habit I work for the University of Illinois.  I love to be able to play in my craft room and create when I get a chance. I began making cards in 2010, after a little scrapbook hiatus and enjoyed the smaller project size (which has slowly helped me get back into scrapping). I love working with sketches and I'm super excited to be a part of the Stick It Down card team!

 Sherry

Since childhood I've always been passionate about paper crafting, vintage items, DIY and just being creative.  As far as a "style" I would have to say I am the most comfortable with vintage, grunge and distressed. With that being said I will often get out of my comfort zone to try something new and different.
