CONTRIBUTING ARTISTS

JENNIFER GALLACHER

I have worked as a designer, teacher and writer for the scrap-booking industry for ten years now. I have loved designing for companies such as Making Memories, Li’l Davis Designs, Little Yellow Bicycle, CreativeXpress, Inque Boutique and Karen Foster Design. In addition to design team work, I enjoy creating for a variety of scrapbooking magazines and have had many projects published through the years. When I’m not designing a scrapbook page, project or card, I’m probably writing a scrapbooking article or reading one. My husband and I have two children and currently live in Utah. Outside of the scrapbooking world, I love playing the piano and am passionate about decorating.

JULIE JOHNSON

I am a stay-at-home mom to my son, Hayden, and love every minute of it! I live in Seabrook, Texas, with Hayden and my wonderful husband, Darrell. They are my favorite subjects to scrapbook. I have worked on design teams for Queen & Co., Krylon and EK Success. I have been scrapbooking for six years and was honored when named a 2005 Memory Makers Master. In addition, I have been published in numerous magazines and books, but love just scrapbooking for myself! When I am not scrapbooking, I love to be outside on and in the water and traveling with my family.

SHANNON TAYLOR

I live in a comfortable cottage overrun by my two beautiful boys (Robby and Oliver), hunky husband (Rob) and happy hound dog (Auggie Doggy). I attempt a girly existence in the midst of sports and camouflage by surfing scrapbook sites on my pink computer, chatting with friends on my pink phone and watching romantic movies (not on a pink TV). I happily split my time between a part-time graphic designer job and my full-time mother position. I make bright, colorful, happy scrapbook pages that have been seen in numerous magazines and idea books over the last six years. I feel blessed to have won two national scrapbooking contests, including being named a 2005 Memory Makers Master. The only thing I need is for my siblings to continue producing nieces and nephews so I can scrap forever.

SHAUNTE WADLEY

I am a thirty-something, caffeine-addicted, chocolate-loving, SAHM (stay-at-home mom) from Utah. I have been scrapbooking since 1997, the dreaded era of photos cropped with deco scissors. Since then, my work has evolved into a clean, linear, photo-focused style. I have been published a few times, been to a few trade shows, taught a few classes, worked for a few design teams—but have not yet lost the love for this hobby. I love it for the creative outlet and the good people I have met along the way. My favorite subjects are my husband and five kids (I never lack for subject material). I especially like making mini-albums of our many trips together. When I’m not scrapping, I am blog hopping, reading or editing photo shoots. And doing laundry. Always laundry.
