Denise Eddie has been scrapping since 1997 when she created her first 8 1/2 x 11 page layout. But she really got into
scrapping in 2000 when she created a 12 x 12 layout and was hooked. She could include more photos and more of the
story per page! She has been going strong ever since. She describes her style as, "fun and all me. I prefer not to clutter
my pages yet I don't want them to be super simple, unless that is what the photos call for. I love to have the photos stand
out with the embellishments being an added bonus." She wants her faith to show on her pages whether in her journaling,
photos or in a Bible verse because she wants her children and family to see how their lives have been blessed by Him.
"God is in our everyday lives so why not give back to Him what he has given to us. To me its important to show my
children not to be afraid to show your faith whether in everyday actions and life or on a page of photos." She state the
smallest thing can spread God's word...the smallest photo or verse on a page. She wants her Joy of her Faith to beam on
her pages and Bless whomever is looking at them, even if it is in a small way. Necee describers her favorite scrapbook
subjects as: everything! She takes photographs of everything in life that she can so she loves to scrap them. She believes
it's important to show the everyday things from a child's temper tantrum to an award won at school. Her family is the main
focus of many pages but other factors such as our animals (Hereford Cows), events or moments always sneak in on a page
or two. This is what makes her life so much fuller, " so why not share them and remember them?"

| Vera Hopper is a full time wife and mother. She and her husband live in Kansas City with their 4 children, ages 4, 3, 1 and baby will be born on January 12th. She has been scrapbooking for at least 11 years and loves every minute of it! She describes her style as, "always changing, but one thing doesn't change, my children are by far my most scraped subjects!" Vera is very interested in photography, so scrapbooking was a natural progression for her, as a way to be able to display her photographs. She loves the element of adding her faith to her layouts, because it is a part of her every day life. When people look at her scrapbooks, she wants them to see the things that her family did and the things that they loved. |
| Cindy Lamb has been scrap booking for about 4 years and it has been a wonderful experience for her. She describes her scrapbook style as very simple, and states, "I have a back ground in graphic arts. Therefore my pages often turn out as *less is more*. I include my faith on my pages because it is a part of who I am. I am one of those persons who does not have an exact time and date as to when my faith journey started. I have just always believed. Therefore my faith has always been a part of my life and who I am. If I am scrap booking about my life it includes my faith. " Cindy's favorite subject to scrap is her three sons. She actually started scrapping because she noticed how much her twins enjoyed looking at photo albums. She attended an at home scrap booking party and decided a scrapbook would be a perfect Christmas gift for them. Little did she know what a major impact this decision would have on her life. She says, "Scrap booking is such a wonderful craft and a perfect creative release for me. " |
| Marci Negranza started scrapbooking in 2000 and hasn't looked back!She lives in Michigan with my husband, Arnel, and their five children. She consider these six people to be her biggest blessings and they are far and away her favorite scrapping subjects. Marci states she's always struggled with trying to define her scrapbooking style..., "I think it is because I get bored easily and like to mix things up! So, I guess I would have to say my style is eclectic." She loves the idea of sharing her faith in her scrapbooks because for two primary reasons: first it is the most important thing in her life so it naturally extends into every other part of it. Secondly, it is the perfect way to share her faith with others, both those that look at her pages now, and even for generations to come. |
| Angie Pollard's hometown is Orleans, Indiana (a small town of approximately 2000 people) but she now calls Cincinnati, Ohio (with over 300,000 people) home. She lives there with her almost 3 year old son, Wesley, and their 10 year old dog, Clifford. Angie has been scrapbooking for about 4 years since attending a Creative Memories party and being hooked ever since. In describing her scrapbook style she states, " I love variety and dimension in my pages. I love trying new techniques and have recently starting stamping and using acrylic paints on my pages as well. Distressing is one of my favorite techniques and I like using lots of metal embellishments." Angie puts her faith on her pages to express her thanks and praise for the good things God has given her. She wants others who see her pages to know the importance of God in her life. She especially wants to pass this on to her son who has been the focus of most of her pages so far. |
| Cindy Lee Sparks is married to a wonderful guy named Bruce. They are both Ordained Ministers and love the Lord with their whole hearts. They are currently living in Nebraska with their 5 cats and are in the very beginning stages of pioneering a church here in their rural community. She's been scrapbooking for over 6 years and shares her faith in her pages as a way to testify about God's goodness to other family members and friends. Cindy Lee prays that my faith based pages will plant seeds and or draw others to a deeper relationship with the Lord. |
| Pam Sukonik was born in Seattle, Washington. Growing up she lived in Florida and Southern California, but her family moved to Vancouver, Washington in 1997. It is just across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon. She started scrapbooking in 1991 when scrapbooking as we know it was only a few years old - there wasn't even patterned paper! Pam describes her style as classic, clean and tidy. She has a photography/graphics background and used to do newspaper things so she tends to follow that style. She states, "The reason I put faith on my pages is that my books are for my young daughter, Amanda, and the children I hope she will have one day. I want them to look back on our lives and see that what we are, and what we believe, is a constant thread in all that we do, not just something we try out every now and again." Pam scrapbooks in a chronological style, so pretty much everything of any interest gets photographed and scrapbooked in order. She doesn't really do theme books, but especially likes to photograph vacations, family and close friends, and special days. Pam states she takes a LOT of pictures. |
| Cindy Wood was born Utah , and grew up in Arizona , Texas , New Mexico , and finally landed in southern California (where she met her incredible hubby, Greg). She has been scrapbooking since way back in 1992 when fellow DT member, and friend since high school, Pam Sukonik introduced her to the hobby. She admits, "I’ m still not caught up, though I’m getting closer! ;o)" Cindy describes her style as clean and classic, though sometimes a bit cluttered! She likes playing with punches, stickers, pens and even chalks, but states she DOESN'T like *lumpy-bumpies*. She likes the LOOK, but not the lumps. She states, "I’m beginning to branch out into digital scrapping for certain things, and I’m enjoying it. THERE I can use all the 3-D embellishments I want! I’ ll never give up my *hands-on* scrapping, though! Nothing compares to the feeling of holding a scrapbook on your lap, feeling the pages in your hands, and remembering with your whole heart!" Cindy says that to her, scrapbooking is a way of preserving family history. “Our faith is a huge part of our lives, so it’s just a natural.” Her favorite subjects are her two precious daughters, her wonderful husband, awesome extended family and friends, daily life, family gatherings, home school learning adventures, and vacations/explorations! |
| Jessica has been scrapbooking for five years and describes her style by saying, " I love clean lines mixed with trendy designs. I am always reading up on the latest styles and techniques in the scrapbooking world and am quick to adopt what I learn to my pages." She puts her faith on her pages because it is a way for her to share her story with family and friends today and for generations to come. She states her faith defines who she is, making it an incredibly important element to weave throughout her scrapbooks. Jessica's favorite scrapbook subjects are her darling nieces and nephews, wonderful and talented husband Matthew and everyone else with whom God has so richly blessed in her life. |

Kim Harris lives in Farmington, Missouri ( a small town south of St. Louis.) She has been scrapbooking for the past 10 years and stamping for the past 8 years.
Kim loves bulky pages and the distressed look. Her favorite subjects to scrapbook are her husband of 17 years and her two wonderful daughters. The reason she
puts faith on her pages is because she wants to share with future generations how much God has meant in their lives. She says, "I feel it is also a way for me to
share God with others in my life today as they look in my scrapbooks. It is kind of an ice breaker to get the subject started. "
Lynn Hurst has been scrapbooking for 12 years and still considers herself a beginning scrap booker even when others have a different opinion. She tries to
keep her pages simple, so that people will not get intimidated by them. She wants to show everyone that they also can scrapbook, especially those who think
that they cannot. Lynn states, "About 5 years ago, God asked me to start telling others about what He was doing in my life. He said telling my life was great,
but He wanted me to show others how He was working in my life. At that time it was all new to me. So I slowly started to put God into my work and from there a
whole new scrapbooking style was born. I now feel compelled to tell everyone what God is doing in my life. I speak at different events throughout the year. I
believe that my trials and outcomes can encourage others." Her favorite scrapbook subjects are her family and lessons that God is teaching her. She says,
"and sometimes those lessons do not always show me in the best of circumstances. But God is always glorified."

Marlae has lived in Hopkins County, Kentucky for most of her life. She started scrapbooking after the birth of her son and has been scrapbooking for about
eight years. Although during much of that she didn't consider herself a scrap booker but rather an avid collector of scrapbooking supplies. She is the wife of a
wonderful Christian man and together they are very active in our small church. Marlae has three children who are growing up way too fast. She describers
herself as an "old school scrap booker: photos, paper, stickers and Journaling." So she pushes herself to take her own advice and try new things. Sometimes,
she's not satisfied with the results but the important thing is that I get my story on paper. She states, "At one time I felt guilty about scrapbooking: spending so
much time, energy and money. It was almost like I was worshiping my children. *Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also* (Matt. 6:21) Then I
invited Jesus to join me in my favorite hobby. Jesus is a part of every other aspect of my life. Why was I leaving Him out of the record of our lives? Yes, I
want my children to remember their birthday parties. But more important, I want them to have some insight into my experiences as I walk with Christ."

Gennie has been scrapping for about 6 years and loving it. She is totally passionate about her favorite thing to do. When she saw her very first scrapbook
page, 8 years ago, she liked the concept but not all the white space. Two years later a colleague at work brought her album in and Gennie was hooked!
That's what she wanted to do! There was a lot of color and the pages were fun! She started her first album a week later and hasn't looked back. Originally from
Australia, Gennie with her husband and children, are currently serving the Lord in Africa where she has learned the art of online ordering of supplies and
friendship through online scrap booking groups. She loves challenges and trying new supplies and techniques. Her current favorites are inking and stamping
on her pages and using die cut letters for big titles. She mainly scraps photos of her adorable children, her relationship with God, and their friends and lives in
Africa. She hopes to leave behind a legacy of faith in God and how awesome He has been in their lives.
