Laura Williams: {Design Team Coordinator}
My name is Laura and I am a total scrap-junkie! I LOVE PAPER! I love to cut, glue, tear, stamp, fold, and build fun, beautiful things out of paper! It just makes me HAPPY to create. Some things I love are: black and white patterns, the color red, sunflowers, polka dots, the smell of vanilla, cleaning and organizing, making lists, anything chocolate, clean sheets, getting packages in the mail, cool autumn weather, pigtails, baking and decorating cakes, photography, and hot Chai from the coffee shop down the street.

I majored in Art Education, at Flagler College where I met my sweet husband, Eric. I taught elementary school for a few years, and now I stay home with my son, Bryce. (And I LOVE IT!!) My husband and I have been married since 2001, and he is currently finishing up his masters at Asbury Theological Seminary, at which point he hopes to serve as a pastor in the United Methodist Church. As a family, we love to go on walks, eat ice cream, and play at Disney World whenever we can! I am so excited to work with 4 Scrappy Sisters. I love the welcoming, encouraging, and inspiring atmosphere here, and I hope you feel right at home!

Melissa DeLlanos:  {Full Kit Designer}

My friends call me Mel. I’ve been married to John for 14 years. We have three awesome kids. Joey is 12, and has Asperger’s Syndrome (Autism). Kati is 10, and Olivia is 18 months. They are my inspiration. We live in Iowa now, where I was born, but have lived all over the south. I am a work at home mom, with a home daycare. I like to spend a couple of hours each evening in my scraproom, after the kids are in bed, that’s my “me” time. I have been scrapping for a little more than 10 years. My style has changed from using stickers on every layout, and cutting my pics in funky shapes with deco scissors, to inking edges, using flowers, and using patterned paper for embellishment instead of as the base. I think that my style changes with each layout. There are some pages that just scream fun, bright, colors, & lots of embellies. There are also some pages that are right with more muted colors, and a more simple design. I love trying new techniques, and thinking outside the box. Of course, my second passion is collecting patterned papers, ribbons, buttons, brads, chipboard… well, you get the idea!! When I’m not scrapbooking, I also enjoy cooking, walking, riding my bike, reading, writing, and spending time with my family.

It has been so much fun to see 4 Scrappy Sisters grow in the last few months, and I am thrilled to be a part of the Design Team here! I hope that you will browse the gallery, chat it up on the message board, and make yourself at home! You won’t find a friendlier bunch than we have here!

Karen Reichel:  {Full Kit Designer}

I live in beautiful northwestern Minnesota. My hubby Jon works out of town a lot in his job so I am almost a single parent most of the time. My daughter Taylor is almost nine and in the third grade. My son Tylan is four and enjoying preschool. I work full time at a company that assists people with special needs live in their ownhomes.

I have been scrapping for close to 15 years. I started before I knew it was an actual hobby. I just threw some cute papers in with my photos in albums. A friend then introduced me to Creative Memories and then my scrapbooking hobby really took off. I love seeing all the variety of scrapbook products available now. Your creativity is never limited with all the neat stuff available.

I am honored to be a part of the 4 Scrappy Sisters Design Team and hope I can inspire everyone as much as the talented scrappers here have inspired me.

Jennifer Mosier:  {Full Kit Designer}

Hi my name is Jennifer Mosier and I am so excited to be a full kit designer for 4 Scrappy Sisters! I am newly married to my sweet husband Chad and we have two beautiful daughters. Alexandra is 10 and loves Hannah Montana. And Hannah is 8 and loves Dora and purses!! She must get the purse addiction from her mama. We live in Lagrange, KY which is on the outskirts of Louisville, KY where I grew up. I do work full time as a billing and accounts receiveable clerk.
Ive been scrapping for about 6 years now. It all started with an invitation to a Creative Memories party. From there I was so hooked!!! Then I realized there was so much more to the scrapping world!! I absolutely love paper!! I must have it in all patterns and colors!! I also have an addiction to my cateye chaulk inks. My layouts are naked without them! Oh what would I do without cute lil embellishments!!! My scrapping style can vary so much. Sometimes its very simple and at other times its very detailed with my photos always being the focus.
Other than hoarding all the scrap supplies I can get my hands on, I also collect willow tree figurines and love to get involved in bible studies at my rockin church.
I am very honored and humbled to be part of such a wonderful site and hope that I can inspire all of you to make the memories of a lifetime and also learn from each of you also.

Chris Christensen:  {Petite Kit Designer}

Hi! I'm Chris Christensen. I love is St. George, Utah with my sweet husband of 32 years, and our two felines, K2 and Precious. We have a wonderful son, Nicholas, and a sweet daughter-in-law, Leandra. I love to scrap their photos as well as nature scenes. I love documenting our travels - even our day trips!

Scrapbooking is my creative outlet. After I left the teaching profession, I had a huge hole in my life! After I spent my first year of retirement cleaning and baking for my husband's staff week after week, my sweet husband came home and suggested I try scrapooking. I was clueless. I had no idea what it was. He told me it was like making little bulletin boards. Well, I knew what that was! What followed is history, and he has no one to blame but himself for what has followed since the fall of 2003!

My scrapping style is eclectic. I want to have diverse pages in our albums. So, I'm always trying this or that. It can take me four days to do one layout because I play with this or that until I get the look I want. Please join us in the forums and gallery where you will find so much inspiration!

Renee Zieglmeier {Petite Kit Designer}

Hello there! My name is Renee Zieglmeier, otherwise known as MnMommy2 on the message boards. I am a SAHM to two very wild and crazy boys. I have been married for 10 years to my best friend Andy.

I have been a cardmaker/stamper for 10 years now and an active scrapper for almost 7 years. I discovered the art of papercrafting while working at a Michael’s Arts and Crafts store in 1997, but didn’t really get addicted to scrapping until after my first son was born.

I would consider myself to be a simple scrapper, I like to keep the main focus on my photos and the story they tell. Of course I like to try new techniques and step outside the box occasionally. I scrap my family mostly and nature photos. I have always had a love for photography and will honestly NEVER run out of photos to scrap! My goal for this year is to create a Book of Me and also to journal more on my pages, if you see me slacking… remind me of this statement!

I am honored to be chosen as a Design Team Member for 4 Scrappy Sisters and can’t wait to build more friendships through this addictive hobby.
