Creative Team

    
Hi, I'm Darcy (aka aslansavz) and am so proud to be on Karah's creative team. I live near Dallas, Texas with my DH and 2 young sons, our two cats and two beta fish. We're a homeschooling family that loves to play, read, learn, and generally have a good time.

I started digi-scrapping in July '06, though I had been paper scrapping almost three years before that, though I usually only touch my paper supplies now to dust (which never really happens, but we can all pretend, right?) or to go on a paper retreat with friends from my paper days. I am also a fontographer, selling here at BlueFlombingo along with Karah. I enjoy the art of keeping my family's memories while still being able to give myself a creative outlet. After losing my mom two years ago, the memory keeping has become even more important to me. And if nothing else, my boys LOVE looking through our books and hearing me tell and retell and tell again the stories of their life - that in itself makes it all worthwhile!

I'm Keely, I live in Austin,TX with my husband and two daughters. Digital scrapbooking is my favorite past time. I started scrapbooking about ten years ago when I was pregnant with my first daughter. I discovered Photoshop and digital scrapbooking three years ago and became an immediate convert. I love the creative freedom that it allows, not to mention the ability to undo and scrap without a mess. I really like experimenting, learning new techniques and running with whatever inspires me at the moment. I have found a great sense of community and so much inspiration in the digital community. When I'm not scrapping I love to read, work on my photography skills, watch movies, I love my Tivo too. My family tends to be the focus of my layouts, lucky for me, they are my favorite people. We are a goofy bunch but we enjoy each other. We try to take advantage of whatever activities are going on around town, we like to camp, hike, fish and do anything near water.

I'm so honored to be a part of Karah's team. Her designs have such a fun, unique style, wonderful details and textures, they're inspiring on their own.

G'day! My name is Ann-Marie and I am from Melbourne, Australia. I live happily with my partner of 8 years and our 3 cheeky monkeys, Jemma 7 1/2, Zayne almost 4, and Samuel 1. I myself just turned 30!! I have been Digi scrapping since July '06 and would consider myself to be seriously addicted. Side effects include dishes in the sink and a slow but steady build up of toys around my feet;).

I am SOOO pleased to be a member of Karah's CT because hers are the very first designers kits that I ever felt the need to actually purchase rather than using the freebies out there. They are inspiring and just gorgeous. I am so proud to be a flombingo!!!
Hi I am Kylie (known as kyl099 in the scrapping community), I live in Sydney Australia with my wonderful husband and two sons. I have digital scrapbooking since January 2006 and love spending time with my family and taking lots of photos so I can scrap them! I found digi scrapping whilst looking for something to do with all my photos that had been sitting on my hard drive never seeing the light of day - and wow did I find an amazing hobby!

In my first few months scrapping I found out about "creative teams" and that became my main aim for the year (aswell as getting published) - to actually get good enough that someone would want me to work for them! I stumbled across Karah's designs and fell in love - it felt like the perfect fit, the designs were totally my style and inspired me to scrap even more! I am thrilled that I am on this team and can not believe how lucky I am to have met so many wonderful people!

I live in Northern California, with my wonderful husband and our two little girls, Grace and Sarah. I'm a SAHM, but do work p/t from home for a software company. Along with my love for scrapbooking, I'm also addicted to photography and always trying to improve my skills. My family is the inspiration for scrapbooking, so you'll see their faces in most of my layouts. I started paper scrapbooking right before my oldest daughter was born and loved it, but as she got older, it got more difficult to find the time and the space to get out all my paper goods. Eventually, I stopped scrapbooking, but instantly missed it. Since my work background is in computers, so I decided I'd try to find away to use my computer skills to continue my love for scrapbooking. One evening, I did a search on the internet on computer scrapbooking and found this huge, wonderful world of digital scrapbooking. I did my first digital layouts in the Summer of 2005 and have been hooked ever since.

A fellow digital scrapbooking addict introduced me to Karah’s fabulous designs and now I’m lucky enough to join her CT team. Thanks Karah for the opportunity to show off your stuff!


Hi, I’m Jennifer Cox (goofy4dj) and I live in the country in Washington state with my husband Danny, son JR, and daughter McKena. We are a pretty active bunch so when we are not working, we enjoy camping, fishing, and boating.

I’ve always been a very crafty person and started scrapbooking as a teenager. About a year ago I dipped my toes into digital scrapbooking and was intrigued. A few months later I went ahead and took the plunge and haven’t looked back. No regrets!

This hobby has been such a blessing. I’ve met so many amazing people in my short time here. The opportunity to work with Karah has been icing in the cake!

 

Hi! I’m Jen and I’m the luckiest girl in the world to be on my dream CT! I’m still not sure I belong here surrounded by all of this talent, but hope that some will rub off on me!

I am a mother of two boys under three and am having the time of my life! I work part-time as a teacher in a Pennsylvania elementary school and squeeze scrapping into nap-time and sleep-time. I never realized that one could survive on the minimal amount of sleep I get, but I’ll make that sacrifice for scrapping! LOL!

I’m so excited to be here and get to use Karah’s fab designs! This is a great place to be!



 

My name is Laura McCandless (lmccandless). I live in Kansas City with my husband, Kevin, our daughters, Elizabeth and Julia, and our dog Leo. You will see all of them in my layouts! As a family, we enjoy walking, gardening, reading and traveling. My personal hobbies include doing crossword puzzles, decorating my house, shopping and the occassional knitting project.

I developed my addiction to digiscrapping in February of 2007. Although I was never a paper scrapper, digital scrapbooking has also led me to complete some hybrid projects. I love scrapping because it gives me such a wonderful creative outlet while building a great legacy for my family to enjoy. The only drawback I have found to this craft is that I would rather scrap than sleep, which is not such a good idea for a busy mom!

I am thrilled to be on Karah's creative team. Her unique designs have so much personality and interest to them! They really inspire my creativity!


 
 

Hi! I'm Andrea (aka: HappyScrapMom). I'm THRILLED to be on Karah's creative team. I'm married to the love of my life and have 3 little boys ages: 9, 5 and 2. We live 20 minutes from Salt Lake City, Utah and love it here!

I started digi-scrapping last Fall (2006) and was hooked! Before that I did traditional scrapbooking for 10 years, and now I am ebaying all my old stuff, no looking back for me!

Other hobbies for me are: scuba diving, decorating my house, photography, reading and traveling. I also make homemade wheat bread every week for my family and have been doing this for almost 2 years and we all love it!

I love spending time with my little family. I also make DVD movies and slide shows for my family and our extended families and my kids LOVE this! My kids also love seeing their scrapbook pages I create for them, I love scrapbooking and I'm so excited to be on Karah's creative team! Wahoo! :)


 

Hi, I'm Vanessa better known as nesser1981 in the digital world. I'm married to Sean and we have a beautiful little girl, Keira (2) and we’re enjoying life in Alaska. I’m a working mama and digital scrappin’ addicted, there I admitted it. I’ve been serving in the U.S. Air Force since June 1999. I grew up in North Florida and decide during my senior year of high school that I needed a change, so I enlisted 9 days after my graduation. I was the “picture taker” in school and all my friends loved looking at my “scrapbooks” or as I’d refer to them big books with lots of funky cut pictures and some cute stickers, with no journaling. I take more pictures than anyone I know and hope to be good enough to be a photographer down the road after I leave the Air Force.

So, enough rambling, how did I find digital scrapping. Well, I when I was 7 months pregnant with Keira I was put on bed rest, so I took up making signatures at one of the parenting boards I visited. I actually did that for about 18 months when I started to realize I was so far behind on my albums for Keira. I had a ton of scrapping supplies I’d been collecting, anyhow, to make a long story short, Keira started daycare and they wanted some pictures of the family to hang up in the classroom, so I decided to give this digital thing a shot. I had that page printed at Walmart and was completely in love after I saw how amazing it turned out. That was in July 2006, since then I’ve probably done over 500 pages and managed to go back and scrap Keira’s live from birth until now. It really is my passion and I only wish I’d have found it sooner.

How I found Karah, by accident to be honest, I was a regular at the digi chick and she came on as a new designer. I admired her work and then I was finally able to grab a spot on her team. I’m truly blessed, Karah is the best!

Since I was a teen I did simple scrapbook pages, and prefer and love the complete freedom of digital. I'm so excited about and thankful for the opportunity of being here, surrounded by gorgeous designs and wonderful inspiration, as part of such a talented, fun team!


 

Hi, my name's JoAnn. I'm a Central Ohio, SAHM to Katie (7) and Rachel (5), I love talking photo's and the previously mentioned children are my main subjects, I also love beach photography, and I'm always on the hunt for the "perfect shot"

I've been digi scrapping since '06, I can't remember what I did with all my spare time before scrapping, but I have finally found an outlet that everyone in the family can enjoy!

I've always loved Karah's work and can't believe I'm on her CT!

 
 

Hi there! My name is Shanna. I live in University Place WA with my loving husband of 8 years, Jonathan. We have two beautiful daughters Jaden who is 5 and loving Kindergarten and Addison is is 7 months and loving life! We enjoy walking around Seattle and breathing in all that city has to offer.

I have been digital scraping since around November of 2006. I was never confident paper scrapping. I LOVED collecting things LOL but never put the items to use. Digital scrapbooking has a freedom I love. You can scrap in the morning take the kids to school, go to work, make dinner and come back to it in the evening without there being a big mess. I LOVE IT!!!

I feel so lucky to be on Karah's team. She not only is very talented but she has gathered a WONDERFUL group of ladies to support her. I am so thankful to be one of them!
