Hello, my name is Tracy McLennon and I live my crafty life on the east coast of Canada in Nova Scotia. My world consists of my talented band teacher husband, my 2 beautiful step daughters and our crazy rescue pooch Kya. I have been a scrapbooker for about 17 years now, I adore papercrafting! I would say my scrapbook style would be clean, classic and layered. Currently I design for May Arts Ribbon, DecoArt and I am the new DIY Crafting Bride columnist for DIY Wedding Magazine.I was so happy to be asked to be a Guest Designer for My Creative Scrapbook just a couple of months ago, and now to be a part of the My Creative Scrapbook Design Team.
I love the simplicity of scrapbook kits! So many of us have so little time in our busy lives to craft, and then when we do it can be daunting. It takes time to organize, plan and finally create. BUT, if you have a kit with all of your coordinating products and papers….all you have to do is add photos! This is what I like to do when going to crops, I just pack my kits, photos, cardstock and I’m good to go!


I am the 49-year old mother of four children, ages 16, 12, 11 and 9. Yes, I know I got started late in life having children, but that was God’s plan for our lives. That makes being a mother just that much sweeter to me. I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Mike, for almost 30 years. When I’m not working at home, I am a legal assistant for a local attorney and love my job. I really enjoy relieving stress with a nice, hot, sweaty jog.I started scrapping 6 years ago when I returned from a dream trip to Hawaii. I knew I wanted a scrapbook of my trip, so I picked up an idea book at my local scrapbook store and scraplifted my very first page.
Since then, I haven’t met a patterned paper I didn’t like. I love making use of the patterned papers by cutting out elements in each pattern to embellish my page. I take my Nikon D90 with me everywhere and my kids’ friends even pose for me now.I am so thrilled to be part of the team here at MCS! There are so many talented scrappers, not only on the team, but on the site itself. This is a privilege, and I am so excited.

Hi! I’m Marilyn Rivera and I live in Puerto Rico, a tropical island in the Caribbean. I live with my husband, Israel, and my two teenagers, Alexander and Paola Sofia. I started in this hobby 5 years ago and I fell in love with it immediately, It’s a therapy for me!I’m a fashion designer so during the day I’m surrounded by fabrics, sewing machines, threads and dress forms and when I’m not playing with fabrics, I’m playing with papers. I love to create!In my pages you will see a lot of techniques that I use for my dressmaking, such as pleating or draping.
I love mixing papers with fabrics, mediums. lace, feathers, paint, and pearls . I think my style is like a “modern shabby chic” with lots of layers, distress, textures and dimension . I’m so happy and excited to be part of MCS Design Team.My blog- http://marilynrivera.blogspot.com

Hello, Marcia Dehn-Nix ( pronounced Mar see ah ) here. I am married to the most wonderful guy and we live in Minnesota (where winters are way too long and summers are way too short). We have three adult kids, lots of fur babies and grand fur babies, the result of me being a stray magnet as well as a foster failure for a local rescue. I have been scrapbooking for about 25 years. You will see me use lots of cut files on my layouts as well as layers. 9-5 I am a software engineer.
At night I love to play with paper. I also enjoy gardening, cooking, listening to audiobooks, and walking with my dog.


Hi! I’m Jeanne Jachna. I live in Northwest Indiana near Chicago with my DH and one very large fur baby – an Akita I call Miss Moriko. I like to read, garden and cook but I have been completely captivated by card making and paper crafts. I love to mix and match different pattern papers and can’t resist a rainbow of colors. My time crafting is a sweet escape and a fun way to express myself.
I’m blessed with the many friends I’ve made who share my paper crafting obsession and I can’t wait to share my creations with you. You can find me on my blog A Kept Life or here on Instagram.
I’m Claire, a UK based scrapbooker and long time lover of pretty paper. I’m based down on the south coast of England, where we benefit from some beautiful beaches and a national forest. It gives me plenty of photo opportunities to scrap! I live with my boyfriend and my fur baby. Both of them feature heavily in my layouts, so you’ll get to know them pretty well 🙂 I’ve always enjoyed being creative, and originally began with card making before discovering scrapbooking which now totally has my heart.I enjoy all kinds of styles and techniques, but clean and crisp tends to be my ‘go-to’.
I also enjoy dabbling with mixed media every now and again. I’m so pleased to be joining the My Creative Scrapbook Team, working with such beautiful kits and talented creatives that inspire me everyday. You can see more of my work on my Instagram page @scrappysoulmate
Hi! I’m Namie(pronounced Nah me ay) and I live in Massachusetts.(Originally from Japan) I’m a wife and working mom to 3 children(one boy & twin girls)whom you will see in most of my projects. I started scrapbooking back in 2013.
My high school bestie used to send my kids beautiful birthday layouts every year, and I was so fascinated by them. That was, if I think back, the beginning of my creative journey. I love playing with mixed media products such as watercolor, alcohol inks, and all kinds of pastes. It’s food for my soul and I feel lucky that I found my passion in life.
I am absolutely honored and delighted to be a designer for My Creative Scrapbook!

I became interested in Scrapbooking 15 years ago , from that moment I began creating this technique. Scrapbooking is my great hobby and my job.
I love making journals, cards, albums and other art objects, whatever I make will always be layered and detailed.
I am drawn to vintage, shabby chic styled crafts which I love to create. I also appreciate the talents of mixed media artists and love the variety of styles and textures that it produces. I am always inspired to learn and try new techniques in both teaching and my crafts. I have been giving scrapbooking workshops for the past years.

Hi, I’m Maree and I am a New Zealander (or Kiwi!) living in beautiful Denver, Colorado. I have a wonderful husband, two teenagers and two kitties in my household. I have been scrapbooking for 15 years, I started when my son was born as a way to preserve all the baby memories we created and just never stopped because I enjoyed it so much. I love creating 12 x12 layouts and getting inspired by fun products and cut files. I find scrapbooking such a joyful and creative outlet and enjoy the scrapping community I have discovered through social media. I love being creative, spending time with friends and family and going on vacation. I love to ski with my family in winter and hike with friends in the summer. I am also lucky to have lived in 5 countries and traveled to many more! You can find me on Instagram @kiwigirlscraps.
Thanks again for the opportunity. I am very excited to work with your kits. The main May kit is absolutely stunning!
Kind regards Maree
Hi! I’m Joanne. I started scrapbooking in 1900 when a friend introduced me to it, I became obsessed with the creativity and designs of memory keeping. I love making albums for myself, my family, and my friends. I feel like I’m creating a small piece of art work on each page! I have been lucky enough to be on a number of design teams throughout my years of scrapbooking. I enjoy spending time with my husband, three children, six grandchildren, family, friends, and fur babies.
Hello everyone, Michele here. I have been scrapbooking for 23 years now, and through all of the trends, changes and pretty things I have loved the journey! I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my husband, and as we are now empty nesters we love to travel and spend time outdoors. I love learning and growing creatively, being inspired, and inspiring others. I’m excited to work with the Limited Edition kits and the team at My Creative Scrapbook!
Hi! I’m Sandi Clarkson and I am beyond excited to be returning to the My Creative Scrapbook design team. I live in the DFW area with my husband and our silly GoldenDoodle, Georgie. We have three grown, married daughters and an ever-growing number of grandkids. As a diagnostic audiologist by profession, papercrafting and mixed media art are exactly the creative outlet that refreshes my soul. My style leans toward shabby chic with lots of layers, dimension and plenty of texture. There is almost always an element of “pretty” to my works although I do love a great grungy project now and then. I’ve reached the stage where creating is more about the pleasure of making art and less about memory keeping, although I do hope to inspire you wherever you are in your creative journey.

I live in Scottsdale, AZ with my hubby, two girls, two dogs, and one handsome cat!
I’m Debbie and I live in Maryland. I have 2 adult children and last year I became a grandmother to my first grandchild, Elijah. I work full time as a Project Accountant for a Commercial General Contractor. It’s a fast paced job and can be quite stressful meeting deadlines. In my spare time I love to spend time with my family. Weather permitting, you can find me outside working in my flower gardens. But most of the time you can find me in my scrapbook room creating. I love to create layouts, tags, canvases and ATC cards. I’m excited to be guest designing for My Creative Scrapbook and can’t wait to share my projects with you.
Hi I am Sneha from Hyderabad India, living with my loving husband. I am a crafter enthusiast and have been crafting since 2016. I am a scrapbooker who turns memories into masterpieces. I am also a mixed media artist, and art journaling lover. Through the art of memory keeping, I transform photographs, ephemera, and personal mementos into beautifully curated layouts that capture the essence of cherished moments. Every memory finds its place in my scrapbooks and layouts where each detail is carefully chosen to reflect the joy and beauty of the moment whether it’s a family vacation, a milestone birthday, or a quiet moment of life.I arrange photos, embellishments, and heartfelt messages onto colourful pages, creating keepsakes that tell stories. Through my craft, I not only preserve precious memories but also share them with loved ones, that will be cherished for years to come.
Hello crafty friends. My name is Brandy Vaughn and I have been scrapbooking on and off for 30 years. Like so many of you, it started as a fun way to document memories. Now it has morphed into a creative outlet that I enjoy for myself. My design style is always evolving. Although I do typically adhere to a few design principles; I firmly believe in scrapping how you want, what you want, and when you want.
I was born and raised in East Texas and though I have moved around a lot, my husband and I have settled back down in the same small town I was raised in. Between the two of us, we have 7 children ranging from 30 to 11 years old. We currently have 3 grandbabies and counting. We love to travel but have not yet gone outside of the US. We have completely remodeled one house and are working on our second and doing it all ourselves. Interior design is my dream job and I especially love kitchens and bathrooms. My other hobbies include reading, baking bread and cakes, painting by number, and playing board games.
I am grateful and excited to join the My Creative Scrapbook Team. This is going to be a wonderful experience that I will cherish deeply. xoxo
