Paper Popsicles - Scrapbook Kits To Refresh Your Creativity

OUR DESIGN TEAM

Tricia Gorden, Designer

My name is Tricia and I am from Northern Indiana. I have been scrapbooking ever since I became pregnant in 1997 with my first child. The addiction has stuck with me for so long that I hardly remember a time that I haven't been crafting! My favorite works are layouts but I must admit that cards, ATC's, and altered items are quickly moving up my list! I think my style is generally clean cut and precise. I love showing people new techniques and how to do simple yet effective scrapbooking layouts. It is not what you put on your page that is important, but rather the message you are trying to convey to others.

The members at Paper Popsicles represent a fun loving, multi-talented group of people whom I am positive you will enjoy too!!! Thanks for stopping by and stick around to play a bit!

Valerie Chmielak, Designer

Hi I'm Valerie and I am a stay at home mom to 4 year old twin boys. I have been married to my high school sweet heart for 6 years. I live in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago IL. I began scrapbooking or as my husband and sons call it "crapbooking" since 1994. It has been fun to watch scrapbooking change since then. I love learning new techniques and trying out new ideas. I tend to do more layouts, but have quickly too become addicted to making cards and altering things. I consider my style to be classic modern. I am always doing something crafty either by myself or with the boys. I love that scrapbooking gives me the opportunity to record precious memories and is a way for me to relax and de-stress.

I look forward to sharing my creations with you and I hope to inspire you to try something new!

Leslie Cranwill, Designer

Hi I'm Leslie, wife, mom and crafter. After trying everything from stamping to glassblowing there was no denying that I was instantly hooked on scrapping when I started almost 6 years ago!

I think my style is eclectic and I always try to bring something fresh to each thing I design. New techniques always excite me and I am growing more and more passionate about altering every day! There are so many benefits to scrapping besides the finished page... it feeds my hunger to create, it allows me time to reflect on my life and leave those memories for my family and, most importantly, it provides a way to meet so many wonderfully creative people both in person and online! Happy scrapping!

Lynda Lindley, Design Team Director

Hi I'm Lynda and I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my handsome husband of almost 15 years and two beautiful princesses.

I have been scrapbooking and card making for over ten years. I love trying any kind of art and am always looking for new things to incorporate into my projects. I have to create; I just don't feel grounded unless my hands are creating something no matter what it is. I consider myself to be an "eclectic" artist; I love to combine elements onto my projects. My paper crafting style tends to be classic, fresh, simple, and a bit shabby/vintage at times. I ink just about everything that comes into and out of my craft room. I scrapbook, alter, and make cards with my supplies. I enjoy trying new techniques and incorporating new concepts into my designs.

I look forward to being able to inspire you with the wonderful projects the team will create each month
