Let's learn more about them

Monique Liedtke

"My name is Monique Liedtke,

I live in Netherlands and I'm a SAHM of 3 wonderful kids,

who are the main focus of my scrapping.

I've been married for almost 13 years to Patrick,

who is luckily very supportive to my scrapbooking addiction

I started scrapbooking  about 6 years ago

and become addicted straight away!

I love that scrapbooking gives me a creative outlet

and it makes me so much more "aware"

of every little thing that than I was before started scrapping

I don't really have one style, it depends very much on my mood

However I love machine stitching on my layouts

and I tend to use lots of details!

If you want to know more about me,

please visit my blog

I'm so honoured to be a part of this wonderful group

and looking forward to meeting all of you!!"

Pia Salem-Lopez

"Hi, I'm Pia from Philippines

I'm blessed with the two boys of my life, 

namely my hubby Jeff, and my 4 year old son, Ethan

I've been creating and making pieces of history

for my family since 2005

My layouts are mostly about my son 

but I make it a point to scrap about me & hubby too

I love to scrap using bold and bright colours on my layouts

My layouts and photos, if I may say,

scream with colours!!

And there's one embellishment that I couldn't live

without that would be buttons!!

For me, they are the perfect companions for my boys layouts

My layouts mirror my family's personality - 

we're a crazy bunch, we love to laugh and play!

I'm so happy to be part of the Scrappin Kids Crew!"

Ria Mojica

"I'm Ria Mojica from the Philippines

and I'm excited to be part of the SK Crew!

I have been married to my soul mate, Buddy 

for almost 10 years and have been a stay at home mom 

to 3 kids, Luis, Nadya & Bianca for the last 7 years

I've always into crafts, but I never felt the rush

until I discovered scrapbooking in 2003

Scrapbooking opened a whole new world to me -

new friends, new achievements, new goals,

not to mention shopping!!

I love that it allows me to have a creative outlet

while recording my family's memories

I would describe my style as eclectic, only because

it varies depending on my mood, the photos or papers

that I'm working with or if I want to try something new

I prefer to do LOs that are about fun and happy everyday moments

I made an extra effort to make multi-photos pages

because I have so much to show

I love embellishments and trying out new tools and techniques

I have been making an effort to scrap simpler and use up my stash"

Yatie Tajudin

"Hi. My name is Yatie Tajudin and I'm from Malaysia

I'm a mother to a 7 year old girl

I've been scrapping since July 2007 and LOVE

every single thing about it

From the shopping, to the techniques, 

to the placement of elements......

oh did I mention shopping??

Don't we all love shopping??

I have to say that I don't really have a specific style

but rather a mixture of everything,

depending on my mood when I'm scrapping

I also loved altered arts and just love to try

and experiment with different mediums on a project

But most of all what I love about scrapbooking

is the friends that I've made all over the world

Friends who share the same passion as I do 

and understands that language!!!

I am so excited and honoured to be part of the Scrappin Kids Design team

and looking forward to be working 

on the layouts and projects every month!"

Due to overwhelming respond

Let's learn more about them

Aniza Mahyuddin

"I picked up scrapping in Sept 2007.
Met my wonderful hubby 13 years ago, when we were both still in university.
We decided to tie the knot 5 years ago and it has been an awesome journey.
We are blessed with the cheekiest little boy who lights up our lives
in ways we never thought possible.
He was the reason I started scrapping
And he is also the reason I continue doing so.
I have yet to settle into a scrapping style
but I know for certain that I simply love my basic tools - paper, scissors & glue.

When I am not a wife, mummy, chef, laundry-woman, bum-wiper, milk-maker, & scrapper

I am a full-time post-graduate research student at NUS,

thinking of ways to make a world a better place…"

Michelle

"I am a plain jane that loves scrapbooking and altered arts.
We are blessed with two in our family
and they are a constant source of inspiration for my scrapbooking.
Trying out new techniques are my favourite thing
and I am on a mission to get more Malaysians into scrapbooking."

Wendy Smith

"I'm Wendy, Mum to 2 active boys Charlie & Angus.

These guys are the reason I started scrapping

and the reason I continue to scrap.

I have been scrapping for over 4 years now,

and I love capturing their every milestone and adverture on camera

and then creating keepsakes for the future.

Other than a total paperholic and scrapping addict,

I am a nurse in a Neonatal Intensive Care unit,

so my days are filled with mixed emotions both at home and work.

I love my family, my career and my friends,

and I love my scrapping"

Vivi Rahman

"I am the quiet type but has a lot to give and share.

Married and blessed with a two yr old girl.

Banker by day and Scrapper by night.

My scrapbooking style is simple but varies from time to time

hence I am still learning new style and techniques.

Additionally I tend to incorporate a little bit

of vintage look in my creations.

I wish to learn more from other talented scrappers out there."

Yvette Planas

"I'm Yvette Planas from the Philippines.

I'm 30 years old, full time mom to the sweetest,

smartest, prettiest 5 year old in the world :)

Reading is my first love but scrapbooking comes in a close second.

I started scrapbooking when my daughter was just

a few months old, mainly because I wanted

to document every little thing about her.

I also love photography, travelling and the Beatles"

Do come back on
1st January 2009
for a brand new challenge
at Scrappin Kids!!

Scrappin Kids Design Team

Firstly we would like to thank those
who had applied for the Design Team Call
All the layouts submitted were absolutely awesome
It was difficult for us to chose just one DT
instead we ended up chosing 4 DTs for this term

Scrappin Kids is proud to announce that we had chosen

Cookie Aguilar

Issa Lucido
Jessy Christopher
Sara Noendeng

to be in our Design Team till Dec 2008

Do look out for their lovely creations during this term
For the rest of the scrappers, do look out for the next DT Call

Let's get to know a bit more about our Design Team

Cookie Aguilar

"I’m Cookie Aguilar, a scrapper from the Philippines.
I’m 30 years old, married for 4 years to a very supportive husband
named Henry and a full-time mom
to a sweet and energetic 3-year old boy Harvey.

Been seriously scrapping since May 2007.
I love this hobby so much because
it makes me express my love for my family, for art.
Makes me meet new friends and it’s my sanity pill
after a tiring day doing household chores
and performing mommy duties.

My family is my main source of inspiration.
I scrap because of them…
I love to take pictures of our everyday moments
and create pages out of it.

It’s also my way of expressing my thoughts
and wishes especially for my dear Harvey.
I want to have something for him
to see when he’s all grown up.
I want to show him how I value every detail
of his growing years with me.

I still have a lot to learn in scrapbooking,
and I would be glad to share them to you guys too!
Hope to be able to inspire people with my work!"

Issa Lucido

"I'm Issa Lucido from the Philippines.
I'm a stay-at-home Mommy to two boys...
Luigi, 14 and my baby Enzo, 4.
I'm married for more than 15 years to Dodo,
an Aquaculturist by profession.
Since I have 3 playful boys (that includes my hubby!)
to look after, we enjoy outdoor fun
and activities like hiking, biking, swimming and travelling.
I was into craft business since the 90's,
I had a cross stitch and
framing store for almost 10 years.

When Luigi was born, I had a baby book made
and decorated for him.
I thought I was just "decorating" the pages,
I never knew that it was called scrapbooking
until 2003 when I met my bestfriend Timi.
She showed me her albums
and I instantly became addicted to Scrapbooking.

My boys, my family and our adventures
are my common subjects for my pages.
I love to paint, hand cut, sew
and discover different techniques to enhance each pages.
Of all the crafts that I tried,
Scrapbooking is the best one for me!
It brings out the best in my creativity,
exercises my brain in writing my journals,
helps me learn so much from my kids and husband
for their constructive critisisms,
chance to meet new friends
and to keep all those memories for life."

Jessy Christopher

"Hi! I'm Jessy Christopher, 27,
a preschool teacher and a photographer here in Malaysia.
Mixed parentage of Indonesian, Chinese & Dutch.
I've been married to my sweetheart, Eric for almost 3 years now
& we are proud owners of 5 fur-kids.
We do not have children at the moment, hopefully very soon!

My precious students & family members are my fav subject.
I started on paper scrapbooking about early last year,
till I found digital scrapbooking in October 2007, stumbled upon it while browsing.
Have been very occupied with digital scrapbooking then.

I'm also in the CT (Creative Team) for a couple of digital designers.
What I love the most about scrapbooking
is the freedom to express myself.
There's no boundaries, I can do whatever I want on my layout.
Still consider myself as fairly new to digital
& also paper scrapbooking but it has become quite a passion
and when I have any free time, it's the first thing to do in my list!"

Sara Noendeng

"G'day! I'm Sara from Australia.
Wifey to Nathan for 2.5 years
and working Mumma to Jet for 13 months.
I started scrapping in 2003
after my mum was invited to a CM party
and wasn't interested in going.
I went in her place and the rest they say is history.
I love scrapping and do something scrap related every day.
I have my own dedicated room
and I am constantly in there jotting down ideas or starting layouts.
Jet is my main scrap topic
but have also done lots of hubby and I
as well as other friends and family.
I am really looking forward to designing for Scrappin Kids."
