What can I say other than I love crafts!

What started as a love of all thing scrapbooking back in 1998 has evolved into a true love of all things paper crafting. Scrapbooking, card making, altered arts, home décor…you name it!

My passion for crafting has brought me many unique opportunities that include a monthly TV appearance here in St.Louis on Show Me St.Louis and regular craft features in my local newspaper, The St. Louis Post - Dispatch.
We, my hubby, three kids and the best Boston Terrior, Peso, reside in St.Louis. I love to share my crafts and projects through my blog at www.buzybunny.blogspot.com. My sincere thanks to Glue Arts for the opportunity to work with them and their products!!

I'm Anne Jo Lexander, better known as Ania to both friends and family. I live in a white house on a small Island at the West Coast of Norway with my husband and our two children aged 9 and 5. Currently I'm a journalist at the local newspaper, M.A. student when I have the time and a photographer at my spare time...so when I'm not doing any of these things you can find me at home in my scrapbook-corner working on projects, or watching movies and TV series with my husband. Oh, and taking care of the kids in between, I guess ;)

You can find me at my personal blog (http://aniia.blogspot.com), my scrapbook-resume blog (http://aniasresume.blogspot.com) or my personal photography portfolio (http://www.annejolexander.com)

I'm a stay at home mom of a 7 year old boy and a 5 year old girl. Therefore my life is usually filled with learning, new discovery, bribery and sometimes "time outs". I have a loving and very supportive husband of 8 years. When the kids have gone to bed at night, my time is spent crafting while catching up on my favorite shows and movies. I also enjoy reading, window shopping, knitting and perusing blogs for inspirations. We recently moved to Colorado from California and we are enjoying our new environment. I feel very inspired with my new home, my new scrapbook space and the mountain views.

Although I’ve been doing some type of scrapbooking since grade school, I only started to scrapbook seriously after my son was born. When he was born I knew I will be staying at home with him but coming from a fast paced sales job I was afraid I would ran out of things to do during the day. Little did I know that with a newborn you won’t have anytime to do anything else. Anyways after going through a basic scrapbooking class I was hooked and haven’t stopped scrapping since. My style has evolved through the years but there's one thing that never changes- my quest to tell the story. That's always the first thing I think of when I want to make a scrapbook page and/or project. And lately I've been inspired by pattern paper and fun, bright colors.

Hi Glue Arts fans! My name is Jen Chesnick, I go by Chez too.  A long time family nickname that I married into and it just kind of took a life of its own.  I sell cheese and crackers by day for Kraft Foods and by night I craft, scrapbook, obsess over Pinterest & Facebook. Not only am I a social media addict I watch almost all reality TV it’s quite ridiculous.  Remember The Real World? That’s where it ALL started.  When I am not coped up in the house I like to travel, and don’t be shock but I love to camp.  As long as I have wi-fi and a power strip all is well in the world.

 I started scrapbooking in 2006 after seeing one of my Mothers scrapbooks. I’ve always been a pretty crafty gal.  Some of my favorite childhood memories are of making crafts in Girl Scouts and patching together random fabric pieces making clothes. Paper crafting has turned into a full on obsession.  I teach locally  as well as work for a few manufactures.  I am delighted and honored to be a part of Glue Arts.    Thanks for having me I hope I inspire you!

My family and I live in beautiful southeastern Pennsylvania.  I’m married to a truly wonderful man who supports my creative whims and together we have two beautiful children who keep us on our toes with the usual activities of school and family life. 

For 13+ years I’ve been completely absorbed in this crazy hobby we call scrapbooking.  In that time, I’ve also discovered that card making and other paper crafts are amongst my other creative obsessions.  Not a day passes that I don’t find myself involved in needing to create something, particularly from paper.  And I feel very fortunate that I have been able to work as a designer in this industry since 2004.  I never dreamed that my “job” would be so much fun! 

When I’m not doing paper crafts or involved in some other creative endeavor, you can find me with my nose in a book, chasing family members with my camera or trying out a new recipe.  Life is good

I started scrapbooking shortly before my 1st daughter was born, almost 12 years ago. I live in Northeastern Maryland with my husband of almost 15 years, my two daughters Alizabeth (11) and Annalise (8), our dog Casey, three cats and several fish. I was first published in a magazine about 10 years ago, and has had many of my projects published in leading scrapbook and crafting magazines.

I would also tell you that my style of scrapping evolves every time I sit down to create, but definitely consider my style something along the lines of neat and clean. I am a texture junkie and love adding layers to my projects. I am also in a 12 step program for cutting back on using buttons with twine bows on my work, but I'm not having much success in that area. I am a card making fanatic, but I also enjoy doing some alterables, although once in a blue moon, I will actually create a layout, to the surprise and delight of my family.

Hi everyone! My name is Audrey Pettit and I live in Cary, North Carolina with my two adorable teenage kiddos and our sweet golden retriever pup. I work part-time as a writer and photographer, and enjoy reading, antiquing, spending time with my family, and of course, everything relating to paper. My passion for papercrafting began twelve years ago after being invited to a friend's home stamping party. Although starting as a card-maker, over the years my interests have segued into scrapbooking and altered projects, as well. I love trying new techniques and sharing, and I am so honored to be a part of the Glue Arts Design Team.

My name is Linda Albrecht and I live in Minnesota. I have 4 wonderful
children (that range in ages from 11 to 27) and one very supportive
husband. For the majority of my life I have been a lover of the creative
arts-- everything from needle work and sewing, to painting and paper arts have
fulfilled my need to express my heart and soul as an artist.

After having children I found another purpose to be creative, for it was
then that scrapbooking became the way that I chose to preserve memories
and organize life's many memento's in a beautiful form. My love of
scrapbooking and altered arts turned into a part time career 7 years ago
when I began working for several scrapbook manufacturers. Currently, I
continue to create for manufacturers and have added part time photography
of weddings and senior photo sessions to my career.  I love being busy with
work, family, and anything that sparks my creativity!

My name is Lisa Day. I live in beautiful Michigan with my husband (Tom) and our two children (Noah and Katelyn). During the day I work as a Marketing/Graphic Design/Social Media Coordinator. In my free time I love playing with paper and glue! I currently design for Lily Bee Design, The Girls Loft and For the Luv of Art. I also teach at Big Picture Classes. I also enjoy being outside, playing, hanging out at the lake, gardening, reading and loving life! I blog at www.lisaday.typepad.com

I am a married Mom of 3 kids and a puppy named Chewie. I am currently a stay at home Mom, and enjoying every minute of it! I love to create just about anything, and I am always willing to try anything once I like to tinker around in different crafts, and love to create 3D projects, cards, scrapbook pages, handmade gifts, canvases, altered items, jewelry, gift packaging, etc.  I started out stamping and scrapbooking about 4 years ago, and still love stamping and using LOTS of ink.  I tend to distress everything I get my hands on, and I am definitely not afraid to get messy.

I am loving the color teal blue right now, and I am addicted to shimmering mists in addition to Glue Arts adhesives of course!  When I am not crafting, I am with my family, doing Motherly things.  I also LOVE my weekly beach volleyball games in the summer and having a weekly ladies nights with my girlfriends.

Hi, my name is Andrea and live in the sunny state of Florida.  I currently am a stay-at-home mom to two quickly growing, energetic boys and love every moment.  Crafting has been an active part of my life for the past seven years and make sure to incorporate it into my life each and every day.  Color rules my creative world and anything and everything that has it is scattered around my craft table.  Always looking for new techniques, materials and just making sure it is still enjoyable. 

Hi, I'm Leslie Ashe! I live in Fort Worth, Texas (home of the stockyards, best Tex-Mex ever & some serious HEAT) with my husband Alan. We have two amazing teenagers, Savannah & Shaypher. Hands down, my FAVORITE people on earth! My one spot stop for any sort of inspiration.

Scrapbooking began for me over 14 years ago and I haven't looked back since. Creating is my outlet, my life song, my everyday. I love to be surrounded by color. Any shape, size or form, it defines me. When I'm not in my little studio, you can find me curled up with a good book, with my family or out snapping as many memories as I can get in.

I've been blessed beyond belief to have work published in Scrapbook Trends, Cards, Simply Handmade & Creating Keepsakes, along with several idea books.
I'm SO excited to be a Glue Arts Glue Girl!! I've ALWAYS loved Glue Arts!
