Meet Rachelle... 
Rachelle has only been paper crafting for 3 1/2 years.  She got started because she wanted to scrapbook her wedding photos. Soon after she discovered card making.  She says her wedding album is still not finished but she's made hundreds of cards!  She sells her cards to family and friends and also to a local boutique. Besides paper crafting, Rachelle enjoys sewing, golf, bowling, playing violin and riding her Harley Davidson motorcycle.
 


Introducing Moira... 
Moira lives in Canada with her hubby Butch,  two adopted sons, Brayden (16) & Carsyn (14) and crazy dog Molly (2.5).  She started scrapbooking five years ago, the year after her boys arrived.  While she occasionally makes cards and has just entered the world of Tim Holtz inspired tags, scrapbooking is her main focus.  Moira is also a teacher, both in the school system and at her local scrapbook store.



A little bit about Teresa...   
Teresa lives in Surrey, England with her hubby, four year old twins and a daft mutt! She caught the card making bug about 5 years ago and never looked back. Teresa finds it rewarding to make things for other people.  She is also a teacher and  loves to find any opportunity to help others which usually means she will learn something new as well. 
 

Meet Jo... 

Jo is 24 years old and lives in West Yorkshire, England. She loves anything crafty, but in particular card making and knitting.  Jo studied psychology at university but now work in a craft shop, doing what she loves.
