I’m Amanda Jones and I’m excited to be teaching my first class here at Miss Art’s! I’ve been playing with paper and glue since I was a little girl, and have been scrapping in the format we currently know for more years than I’d care to mention out loud ;) I have an eclectic style, one day creating a very minimal, graphic layout and the next a textured page with layer upon layer of pretty papers and embellishments. It all depends on my mood and the product/photos that are inspiring me at that moment.
I am honoured to design for several of my favourite scrapbooking companies, including Teresa Collins Designs, Photocentric, Precocious Paper, and Scrap With V. My work has also been published in several magazines worldwide.

Hi I’m Kathleen Glossop, I live on the west coast of Australia with my hubby Jason and (nearly) 4 year old boy Clay. I begun scrapping about six years ago, but became more addicted once Clay was born. I’m not sure how you’d define my style, eclectic perhaps? I use a lot of layers, fabrics and paints, and generally have an element of white space. I am fortunate to be a part of the Bo Bunny design team, as well as Pencil Lines, My Little Bit of Whimsy, and am on the current Masters team for Aussie magazine Scrapbooking Memories.

Hello, my name is Jamie Dougherty, I am 30 years old and live in Southern California with my husband, Lance, and our two children, Karlie and Quentin.  I am so grateful to have the support of my family behind me in whatever I do. I have been creating art since my late teens. I had a fine arts and pottery background coming into scrapbooking. So, in the seven years that I have been creating scrapbook pages I have learned to infuse my fine arts into my pieces.

Hi, my name is Mimi Leinbach and I am 39 years old. Yikes! I am a SAHM to 2 soccer loving boys Nick(13) and Jack(9) and when I am not scrapping I can be sure to be found at a soccer game or helping out at school. I have been married to Josh for over 16 years. He has given me the freedom to indulge myself in this hobby and I just adore him for it.  I have been scrapping for 13+ years now and I would say my style is ever changing. I have been published many times in Creating Keepsakes, Memory Makers Magazine and Books, Scrapbook Etc., Scrapbook Trends, Simply Handmade, Creates Idea Books as well as Scrapbooking and Beyond magazine. I love designing and am proud to have designed for many manufactures and kit clubs. Miss Art's will be a fun new challenge...and I just love a challenge so I hope we will all have fun learning together!

My name is Daniela Dobson and I live in Dallas, TX. I am married to Peter and we have a little boy, Alex, who is 4 years old. He keeps me busy and my days are filled taking care of him. I have been scrapbooking and stamping for over 10 years. I really enjoy challenges and strive to be innovative. I love recording every day moments, especially now, with my son. I like using a variety of products and techniques to create lasting memories. I love to create cards and pages in different styles and sizes. My creations have been featured in numerous publications, including advertisements, manufacturer websites and trade show displays. I love that I have the opportunity to spend so much time doing something that I love. I am currently designing for Impression Obsession, Technique Tuesday, Therm O Web, Clearsnap and Two Peas Digital Creative Team.

My name is Gerry van Gent. I`m a mom of two adorable kids and a wife of a very supportive hubby. We live happily in the Netherlands. I`m a SAHM and I have plenty of time to spend with my kids and of course I have plenty of time for my hobbies...scrapbooking and photography. I got involved with scrapbooking while my first child was born in 2003. I was looking for a different way to display my photos and while surfing Internet I found out about scrapbooking. Needless to say I was immediately addicted and never stopped since then.

What I mostly like about this hobby is that I can show my creativity with paper, to show different ways to use it and I love to be creative and inventive. I love to hand-cut and hand-stitch. My layouts have always dimension and I always do my best to show that through my photos. I`ve been published in Dutch magazines and e-zines. I design for Webster`s Pages, The Scrap Cake and Once Upon A Sketch.  

 I’m a graphic designer and work from my home in the beautiful Whangaparaoa Peninsula, Auckland, New Zealand - where I live with my partner and our two young boys. I’ve been scrapbooking for about 8 years, and in that time have been on a number of design teams, both in New Zealand and internationally. These teams have included Australian manufacturer Rasberry, US magazine Scrap 'n Art and New Zealand magazine Up2Scrap (both as an Elite Team member and Senior Designer), as well as a number of retail teams.. I've had guest designer spots with Darkroom Door stamps, Flourish with a Bling as well as Nic Howard's recent Dimensional Details workshop on Big Picture Scrapbooking. I’ve also had some of my canvas album designs produced and sold through Prima Marketing. I'm currently an educator for US Manufacturer Shimmerz, am a Design Diva for Scrapbook Creations Magazine, a designer for chipboard manufacturer Twiddleybitz and am also on the design team for distributor Aussie Scrap Source, all based in Australia. My work has always involved experimenting with different products and finding new ways of using them, and through the years I've discovered and learnt a lot of new techniques that I love to share. My style varies depending on the project but it’s always very dimensional, heavily detailled and often with a vintagy edge. 

My name is Andrea and I currently call the sunny state of Florida home, but originally from the Pacific Northwest. I am a stay-at-home mom to two quickly growing, energetic boys and love every moment I am able to spend with them. Crafting has been an active part of my life for the past seven years and make sure to incorporate it into each and every day. Color rules my creative world from lovely papers to beautiful ribbon. The search is always on for new techniques and materials. I love sharing ideas and hope my projects are inspirational to others as others have been for me.

I live in Upstate New York with my husband and daughter.  I work outside of my home in the Investment Management field.  I am the Department Coordinator and in charge of overall client management.  I am finishing up my tenure as a Board member on our local School board of Education as well as being a Girl Scout leader for the past 4 years.

I have been scrapping seriously for the past year and a half, although I did dabble a little bit for a few years prior.  I am currently on the design team for Swirlydoos Kit Club.  Previously I was a staff member for Scrapbook News and Review where I became an Education Coordinator.

Hi!  I'm Mandie Pierce.  I currently live in Northern California with my husband Troy & our 3 kids (Claire, Noah and Collin).  That will likely change in another year.  We are an Air Force family and move every 3 years or so!   I've been scrapbooking since Claire was a baby; so I've seen the craft change a lot in the past 12 years!  I love to scrapbook for the pure enjoyment of it.  It's a plus that I get to document family stories at the same time!  :)  I also love reading, photography, party planning and may have a slight addiction to coffee! 

Hi, all! I was born and raised on Oahu, Hawaii, and I still live here with my husband Rob and daughter Zoe. By day, I am an English teacher, working with words, surrounded by students' papers, and by night, you’ll find me playing with words (and pictures), surrounded by patterned paper. Like teaching, scrapbooking is a creative, challenging, colorful, and rewarding endeavor, and when I immerse myself in it, I am in my element. I see us all as authors of our own stories, and scrapbooking is instrumental in the documentation of that story, motivating us to embrace “a way of remembering that which it would impoverish us to forget,” as Robert Frost once claimed about poetry, and which I think perfectly captures what scrapbooking can do for us as well. I like to think of my personal style in terms of "convergence," since I love to pull together bits and pieces until they click for me, until they all say what I want them to say.

I'm Tina! I'm 35 yrs old and live in beautiful New Brunswick, Canada with my hubby of 11 years and our 5 beautiful children! Life is busy but exciting!! Scrapping is my release from every day reality! I've been scrapping for about 8 years. I draw my inspiration from life around me!! Everything from the looks on my children's faces, to their clothes, to music we listen to and emotions in our daily life! My style is hard to pinpoint... but is kind of romantic, clean and simple. I love distressing, B&W photo's and journaling strips!! I'm a Layout gal... I also do cards and off the page kinda stuff, but layouts are where my heart lies... I love the photo's and the journaling... this is what it's all about for me! :) That is they WHY behind doing what I do! I've had the honor of being on several fabulous Design Team's. I am presently designing for Spellbinders Paper Arts and Simply Renee. I have also had the honor of being published in several great magazines! And now I'm over the moon excited to be teaching at Miss Paper Arts! I hope that I can inspire you and that together we will grow! I'd love for you to stop by my blog.

Hello! Sabrina Alery here and I am absolutely thrilled to be teaching for Miss Art's Papercrafting!! I live in a spooky old farmhouse on an acreage in Madison County, Iowa with my hubby, 3 energetic toddlers (ages 3, 4 and 4), 3 terriers and a pig. They are my loves and most often the subject of my paper projects. When I'm not playing with paper, I love to sew clothing for our girls and myself, try out new recipes, garden flowers and veggies and try to instill the spirit of adventure into the kids. Scrapbooking has been my creative outlet for the past 4 years, ever since I walked into a Hobby Lobby with the plan to make a one-of-a-kind baby book for my daughter. I filled my cart with pretty papers and stickers and haven't looked back. Thank you so much for letting me share my love of stamping with you!

Hi there, I'm Keri Babbitt. I'm a mom of two, who’s been happily crafting since high school. I love capturing life’s moments and expressing myself artistically through scrapbooking. I'm obsessed with anything vintage and love trying new techniques, as well as finding creative, eco- friendly ways to make my supplies stretch. I love to experiment with any and every scrapping
style, from minimalist to shabby chic. I am often a grid-based, multi-photo scrapper, and enjoy finding well-designed ways to include lots of photos. I've been published in Simple Scrapbooks, Creating Keepsakes, and several E-zines. Currently I
design for Epiphany Crafts and Get Picky Challenges, and am the Sketch Artist at Sweet Peach Crop Shop. Other than crafting, I enjoy reading, contemporary dance, antiquing, music, and the outdoors. I'm honored and excited to join you here at Miss Art’s Papercrafting School!

I'm Lilith. I was born in Leuven, Belgium on 26th January 1979. As a child I grew up in South Africa and my parents moved back to Europe when I was a teenager and settled in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. I now live in the South of Belgium in the Ardennes. I am a mother to four marvellous but mischievous boys (Damien, Noé (7), Robin (4) and Elouan (2)) and have been married to the most wonderful man for 11 years. I'm a part time foreign language teacher. I teach Dutch and English to French speaking students and I LOVE it. Besides my passion for languages and teaching, there is also music, photography and on the top of my list SCRAPBOOKING. I started just after getting married as I wanted to make a wedding album. I really got hooked when my two eldest boys were born in 2003 and I haven't stopped since. It helps me unwind from my hectic days being a mum and teaching teenagers. Scrapbooking has made me realise that I can be creative and I love documenting my family's life. It has made me become more confident and willing to have a go.

Hi Everyone! My name is Leanne and apart from being a passionate scrapbooker, I am a busy stay at home mum to four children…. 1 daughter and 3 sons. These guys and my wonderful husband (who is thankfully very understanding of my need to create), are under constant attack from me aiming the camera at them! I am not however, a professional photographer, just a mum with a camera!

We live in beautiful, sunny Queensland, just north of Brisbane, Australia and I guess it reflects in my style of scrap booking. I think it is best described as fresh and clean. But mostly honest. I have a  strong urge to capture the stories behind the photos and pretty papers…and there are lots of pretty papers out there to play with!! So it depends on what message I am trying to get across. I am quite happy to create a layout that is “earthy” and I am totally smitten with white space. In most of my layouts you will find several small photos that will take you on a journey. Capturing the images is part of my love of scrapping. Handwritten journaling telling “the story” is the other component I love. 

I really hope I can inspire you and others to scrap the “day to day” living aspect of their lives. To create something that you can look back on in the future and truly reflect on how things used to be. I am still relatively new to this hobby, having been scrapping since 2009, but I absolutely love the opportunities this craft has given me. Especially when I get to document my family's history.

The Take 2 Team includes the following teachers. Thanks to each of them for their participation in this event!

I am graduated in architecture and plastic arts, but I have been working in a Bank for 21 years as an appraiser of jewelry. I have been in love with Arts and Crafts since I was a child . I discovered Scrapbooking in 2004 and today I am totally crazy about it. I love to use paints and texture in my layouts and I melt the photos with the background. I love mixing a lot of techniques and products in my pages such as acrylic paints, watercolor, stamps, modeling paste and acrylic gesso. I love the artsy style!

During that time I have been fortunate to have been a Creative Design Team member for Scrapbooking Memories Magazine [AUS] in 2009 and currently a Scrapbooking Memories Master for 2012. I am also fortunate to be invited to be on the Creative Design Team for a new UK based scrapbooking magazine; Scrap365.

Currently I design and create for Tattered Angels 2012 Team and as a In-House designer for Imaginarium Designs; [you will soon find out that I have a passion for mist and chipboard] :).
I consider myself fortunate to be able to share my scrappy passion with regular publications in Scrapbooking Memories [AUS], and have been featured in the last 3 editions of Somerset Memories [US], with technique articles and layouts in the reader gallery. I have been told that I have a creative style that is; Unique, deceptively simple, and arty!
I very much looking forward to, and am honoured to be sharing my creative scrappy passion with you all here at Miss Art's Papercrafting School.

Hi my name is Janine Koczwara and I have been scrapbooking for almost 10 years. I am married to a very supportive husband, Paul for 17 years this year and we have 5 gorgeous children who feature heavily on my pages, Lachlan, Cameron, Ethan, Kaitlyn and Ashton. Yes, that is 4 boys to one very spoilt little girl! Over the course of the 10 years I have been scrapping, I have owned my own scrapbooking shop for 5 of them, closing to have baby no 5 as I deemed it too much work to do both! I have had the pleasure of being published in many magazines in Australia as well as overseas and have even been on the DT as well as the Elite Team for For Keeps magazine. I am currently on Design Teams for Prima Marketing, Websters Pages, Aussie Scrap Source and am one of the Co-Founders of the Color Room. My style is shabby chic with lots of distressed layers and details. I scrap for the joy the creative process brings me as much as for the chance to record family antics.

Hi, I’m Kerryn. I live in sunny (most of the time) South Australia with my husband and two children (well three if you count the dog ). I have been scrapbooking for about 4 1/2 years now. I started with a scrapbooking kit that my husband bought me for a birthday one year, a gift he is probably now regretting LOL. Soon after I discovered the online world of scrapbooking and I have not looked back. I am lucky enough to have a whole room in the house where I can retreat to when I am ready to create. It is a hobby that I love with a passion that has been good to me in so many ways. One of the greatest rewards to come from this hobby has been the many wonderful friends that I have made, both online and in real life.
I don’t have a particular style as such but I love layers, I love distressing and I love concentrating on the details. I switch between 12x12 and 8.5x11 depending on which way the wind is blowing. Having both a son and a daughter means I get to indulge in pretty, girly layouts as well as grungy, fun boy layouts. I love to experiment. I love to alter embellishments. I love to use my stash! I am a bit of a hoarder and find it hard to throw things away, even those tiny little scraps of paper.
Most of all though, I love to have fun. This is a hobby after all, it is supposed to be fun. I am looking forward to sharing some of my ideas with you all here at Miss Art’s Papercrafting School.
