Computer engineering graduate I am also fond of craft since my mom taught me knitting and sewing "art". Cross stiched, watercolors, photo, collage ... and I am also a silk painting teacher. But now with digital scrapbooking it's better than ever, because I can use my favorite tool (my dear computer) to get great effects in volume, aging, distressing and layering ... I am married to François, the manager of CDIP (you know, Studio Scrap) and my favorite themes are my two children (4 and 2) and our travels. I am one of the muse of Studio Scrap and I am a member of its design team. Blog : http://www.lemondeduscrap.com/photopost/member.php?uid=1463&protype=1

I’ve been scrapbooking since 2005. But, I’ve stopped from early 2006 for more than a year and only started to scrap again in March 2007. A couple of months later, in June, I’ve discovered stamping and inking. I think a lot of my blog readers would think that I'm kinda different in styles and ways of doing my scrapping. There are very limited supplies available here in Malaysia and there is not a lot of online scrapbook stores that delivers their goods here. So, these situation had actually kinda put me in a situation where I have to really put my thinking cap on. I’m a staff member to Scrapbook News and Reviews (a new scrapbooking e-zine) and a DT of ScrapbooksNStickers in Florida. I will be featured in ETT Trykk as their guest artist in their June 2008 issue. Well, about my style. First of all, I’m kind of the ‘Ephemera’ style but then again, I would love to work with some fun colours at times. But there’s one thing I can be sure of, I’m all about distressing! There’s no one page of my work recently that has not involve inks. |
| Kah-Mei Smith | ![]() |
Hi! My name is Kah-Mei Smith and I am the creative principal/owner of FontWerks, a rubberstamping and scrapbooking supplies company based out of British Columbia, Canada. For years, I worked as a welfare officer until I finally left my day job to run FontWerks full time. It is one of the best decisions I have ever made, not only because I love working at FontWerks, but because now I am able to drive my children to school everyday and am also able to go with them on field trips, for the first times in their lives. I have been married to Rob for over 11 years, and have two children, Emily (8 years) and Cameron (5 years). They are the best and most supportive family anyone can ask for. I also have a very close extended family who I thank God for everyday. My favorite stamping tool is the stampamajig. I love ink and paper and getting messy and using all kinds of products. My creative style is a mix of everything. Some days I will love linear work and other days my work is freeform. I use my handwriting on every page. I love to travel and teach and meet people as well as photography. If you ask me how I envision myself as an old woman, I would say, “living in a cottage by the sea, with a vegetable garden and a creating studio. And with lots and lots of family and friends who live close by. » |

| Pascale Lavigne | ![]() |
I began to scrapbook 3 years ago to propose this activity to my high school students. They loved and I never stopped. I used the nickname of Miss Marpple 2 years ago for the first time on the Scrapetpipelettes message board. Today I teach scrapbooking classes at " maison des 5 sens" in Bordeaux and at the association Voyage au Pays du Scrap at Pessac. What I love the most with scrapbooking are the papers. My style is quite tonic. I love bright colors, patterned assortments and so I don't often use embellishments. I like very much mini albums for an entire event and for the liberty of creation I have with them. |

A passionate scrapper and a real "I have to try", designer for Studio2Mers Créations. I am a professional photographer. My style is more free style. I do a lot of mixed media too. I like to work on different supports, paper, wood, metal or even canvas, to switch with 2D and 3D. Every month I organise « scrapsessions » where I explore many worlds following my inspiration. I also teach in associations. I really appreciate to share my passion during classes. And for me it's essential as much as the creation of products. The other side of my activity is the creation of products for scrapbooking : papers, stamps… I love being in the move with the trends et see my drawings and creations come to life into the creations of the others. This is an occupation growing up each day and I plan new products for may. |
