Introducing the happyteam!

I have been waiting for over 2 months to tell the world about my awesome creative team! These 8 ladies have been patiently and lovingly supporting me since before the Apprentice contest started. These women are the most perfect team that I could ever imagine. Not only are they the cream of the crop at scrapping ... they are all just fabulous people. Without further ado ... I present: Becky, Christine, Debra, Emilie, Gerarda, Kim, Kristin and Michelle!

What a beautiful group of women! Let me tell you a little about everyone. (Roll over their pictures to see who they are or click to go to their blog/layout gallery.) Now let me tell you a bit about each member.

Becky (webchyck): What a terrific friend Becky is! Although I met her about a year and a half ago while on Cheryl Barber's creative team, it was not until about 6 months ago that I truly realized what a great person she is while working on the Scrapbook Graphics Creative and Blog Teams together. She is the Editor of the Studio Matters Blog at SBG and never ceases to amaze me!

Christine (Fiddlette): What can I say about Christine? She is my best Internet pal and we have been following each other around for over a year. She is fantastically creative and always willing to lend me an ear when I need it. I am thrilled she has decided to join my team. We have also served together on the Scrap Artist, Scrapbook Graphics and Iron Orchid Designs creative teams. She is my co-host of the Altered/Collage Challenge at Scrap Artist. And she just won a spot selling her designs at Scrap Artist as well! (And she picked me to be on her creative team!) I am lucky to have such a great friend!

Debra (Steinwaysmom): I first noticed Debra's amazing talent when we hosted an altered slide mount challenge at Scrap Artist. And from that day on, I have pretty much followed her every move! Her style is unmistakable. I also had the pleasure of coming up with one of her Quirk names at Digital Art Quirks. A true artist!

Emilie (AmyPunky): What a sweet person! I have gotten to know Emilie through her layouts and her comments on mine. What can I say? Her layouts really speak for themselves. Emilie has such a fun sense of style and I have been having a great time getting to know her even better!

Gerarda (Nevache): If you have not looked through Gerarda's gallery ... you NEED to! Totally incredible! You could easily mistake her for a seasoned graphic artist. I am continually amazed by the layouts that Gerarda comes up with. And to top it off, her journaling is always so honest and thought provoking.

Kim (MissKim): Kim is an icon in digital scrapbooking circles! Her children are almost famous as you can easily recognize them in Kim's layouts. I love Kim's clean scrapping style and look forward to seeing what she creates with my designs.

Kristin (Chicklets): I had never spoken with Kristin when I asked her to be on my team! LOL! I was looking through the Scrap Artist gallery and a layout of hers just jumped out at me and I started looking through her gallery and loved every layout. On a whim, I decided to ask her to join my team and she was the first person I asked! I was so thrilled when she said yes and I have enjoyed getting to know her since then. Just a sweet, sweet person.

Michelle (Mishou): Last, but in no way least ... my great friend Michelle, aka Meesh. She is my Internet little sister. I have thouroughly enjoyed watching her grow up before my eyes! I met her many months ago and she was kind of shy but you could see the talent was there. And then something just clicked and she now creates these fearless pieces of art. This girl is going places! Incredible natural talent. Love you Michelle!!
