Meet Shannon Thibault

Hey, my name is Shannon Thibault and I'm from Stittsville. I am a Military wife, have two children under the age of 8 and have been married to my husband for almost 10 years. I'm a work at home which allows me the time to make memories with my children daily, I also provide care on a daily bases for my neices, and close friends children.

My days are mixed with mommy jobs, children ,and as many moments as possible in my studio. I have always been a lover of crafts , but it wasn't until 2001 that I found my passion with papercrafts while working for a direct selling company that specialized in cards. A year later and my creative energy had moved from cards and altered items to the world of Scrapbooking too. The last 7 years has been a blast ! I'm so happy to have found a way two preserve my families memories and to have met so many wonderful people !

Most recently you will find me in the studio desgining my next Mixed Media project , mixing my love of Scrapbooking and paint on Canvas! My greatest inspiration comes from my family and friends in the photos, but I am also inspired by sketches, patterned paper, and what I bought recently from the scrapbook store.

I do not have a clue as to what my style could possibly be, but there are a few elements I can not leave off a layout these days, such as threaded buttons, distressing, inking, and layering. Since my time is mostly devoted to being a wife and mother, I believe that scrapbooking should be FUN!! There is no greater pleasure for me than to enjoy my family, put the kids to bed, and relive the memories that we created once again. I am so grateful for a hobby that gives me a creative outlet and therapy at the same time!

Meet Brenna Smith

Hey there, my name is Brenna Smith and I am 23 years old. I have many hobbies and interests which include listening to classic rock music, watching old classic movies, dirt biking, riding horses, and most recently skydiving!! At the top of that list, however, comes scrapbooking!


I started scrapbooking about 5 years ago when I moved away to college and wanted to make a 'special gift' for my best friend back home. I stepped into a world that I had no idea exhisted!! Today I have more scrapbooking materials than can fit in my tiny apartment. I am constantly finding those red, static pieces of plastic from the back of the two tape ALL over the house. I was having a conversation with my boyfriend the other day, trying not to stare at the piece of red plastic on his face... :)

I would say that my style changes from project to project but I like to think that my art is always a little 'outside of the box.' Clusters are my new thing! What a great way to use a wide variety of materials in your pieces! Chipboard and paper are my vices for sure...I have had some pieces of paper for YEARS! They're simply too nice to use... hmm, are you thinking new years resolution?? If you've seen some of my pages in the store, you may notice the abundance of clusters and chipboard :)

I look forward to sharing my many many ideas with people who appreciate what a great hobby scrapbooking is! Can't wait to get started on some challenging and exciting projects!

Take care,

Brenna

Meet Debbie Lewis

I have been married for 15 years to a wonderfully supportive husband, and I am a proud mother of three beautiful girls. I have been scrapbooking for approximately 6 years; however, in the past 2 years I have the desire to become more creative with my scrapping and I am enjoying it thoroughly. It is important for me to create beautiful works of art for my children to cherish for years to come. I work as a paralegal full-time and in the evenings I am catering to my daughters’ schedules for competitive soccer. During my “me time” is when I get to relax by scrapbooking. I like traditional scrapbooking the most, I love to use different techniques, and enjoy trying new ideas with my pages.
