Anne Jo Lexander
I’m Anne Jo Lexander, better known as Ania to my family, friends and in the online-world. I’m located at an island right outside the West Coast of Norway, where I live in a white house with my husband and our two children aged nine and five. At day I work as a photojournalist/press-photographer at the local newspaper, in the evenings I enjoy watching movies&TV-series and playing video-games with my husband and of course, scrapbooking.
My scrapbooking style varies dependent upon my mood – personally, when asked; I am fond of calling myself jack of all trades. I try to go with the flow and am inspired by my photographs and the stories they have to tell. I also love how the products I use often speak to me and inspire my creativity - using a wide variety of product means that my style is often defined by the direction the product takes me.
I do have experience teaching classes being a former Prima- and Tattered Angels-teacher. These days I enjoy “retirement” from the teaching business but am happy to go teach when asked, like now. :)

Lilith

Caroline Rondel
My name is Caroline, known online as Lilith. I live in Lorraine (France) with my partner and our daughter Louise.

I came to scrapbooking and mixed media 5 years ago, while hopping on the internet. At that time, I was creating with napkin techniques.
Then, I created 2 years & a half ago a scrapbook club ('Scrap à la fraise') in my hometown with 2 other scrapbookers.

My 'style' evolves and is constantly changing ... I don't know if it can be defined but I love to use paint, fabric, and recycle items in my creations.
I love stains, crazy stitching, grunge and destructured effects. So don't come for precision and neat cutting on my pages ! My 3 must haves are my sewing machine, a black pen and my watercolors !

Erin Yamabe

Erin Yamabe
Hello, my name is Erin Yamabe, and I'm honored to be teaching here at the Paper and Co Show! I am a stay at home Mother to two beautiful girls. They are the subject of most of my work. I'm very thankful to have a loving and most supportive husband. When I'm not scrapbooking or crafting in some way, I can be found taking long walks, in a cardio sculpt or zumba class, or spending time with my family and dear friends.

I've been scrapbooking for a little over 4 years now, and feel like I have found a forever niche where I can be totally me and just free. I've been teaching classes for 3 years now, and my work has been seen on the Scrapbook Memories TV Show, Japanese scrapbooking magazines, and on QVC. I'm the DT Coordinator for My Little Shoebox, and am very excited to be sharing their wonderful products with you during this special event!

Julie Fei-Fan Balzer

Julie Fei-Fan Balzer
I am a mixed media artist and avid scrapbooker living in the heart of New York City: Times Square. I have a very handmade, whimsical, primitive art style. I embrace mistakes as creative opportunities and experiment wildly with techniques and supplies. I believe that art making should be fun and relaxing, and yet offer challenges. I also believe that it shouldn’t cost a million dollars or require a lot of specialized equipment. Most of my work is memory based, inspired by my daily life.

I have had artwork and articles published in multiple books and magazines, appeared on Quilting Arts TV and Scrapbook Memories TV (both PBS), designed scrapbooking products for companies in France and the USA, and I regularly teach quilting, scrapbooking, and mixed media classes here in New York City and online.

I write a popular blog, posting projects, tutorials, and crafty experiments several times a week.

I am in my forties and mother to two grown-up children. I live in Cambridge with my partner John. I have been crafting since forever in one form or another. My passion for stamping took over about 5 years ago. I am a Ranger girl at heart and love nothing more than trying new things and getting inky and messy ...

My style is eclectic ... if that is a style :0) and I will give anything a go at least once! I have been known to sky dive and abseil on occasion! I teach regular workshops in the UK and I am currently a Design Team member for Zutter; Crafts Stamper Magazine; LB Crafts; Bubbly Funk and Happy Daze. You can see more of my work on my blog.

Hi, I am Mou Saha, Contributing Writer for Creating Keepsakes magazine. I started scrapping at the end of 2004 after my daughter was born and became so addicted to it that I wanted to do it all the time. Some of my scrapbooking highlights are winning the CK Hall of Fame in 2007, being finalist for CK Scrapbooker of the Year in 2006 and 2008, becoming a member of the CK Dream Team in 2009 and eventually becoming a part of CK’s Editorial roster. Before becoming exclusive to CK, I have been published in various other books and magazines like Scrapbooks, Etc., Memory Makers, Somerset Memories, Somerset Apprentice, Simple Scrapbooks, Scrapbook Trends, Cardmaker, etc. I love to play with different techniques from quick and simple to artsy and eclectic. I am thoroughly enjoying this creative journey that helps me express myself better than any other way.

Sabine Vally-Thomas
A passionate scrapper and a real "I have to try", designer for Studio2Mers Créations. I am a professional photographer.

My style is more free style. I do a lot of mixed media too. I like to work on different supports, paper, wood, metal or even canvas, to switch with 2D and 3D.

Every month I organise « scrap sessions » where I explore many worlds following my inspiration. I also teach in associations. I really appreciate to share my passion during classes. And for me it's essential as much as the creation of products.

The other side of my activity is the creation of products for scrapbooking : papers, stamps… I love being in the move with the trends et see my drawings and creations come to life into the creations of the others. This is an occupation growing up each day and I plan new products for may.
My papers are going on the other side of borders with Italy and Norway. I also have some interests in USA.
I propose products which are like me and which I like to use.

Safo Toussaint
I am Safo, 25 years old, and mother of my lovely daughter, Ange who is 5 years old. We live in Poitiers (France), where I am a nurse in a nursing home for elderly people. I have multiple activities : I love cooking, photography, music and spend time with my friends and family.

I 'discovered' scrapbooking in May 2006 thanks to 2 friends Dragibus et Lililali. After having tried different styles, I have found mine : freestyle. Not patient by nature, being free and following my envies was the simplest thing for me !

Since June 2008, I am on Tempor'Elles DT ; then joined Scrapjacked on September 2009 ; and since April 2010, member of the DT of 'vous nous autrement' ('scrapjacked' & 'vous nous autrement' are both blogs with challenges and inspirational ideas)

I am 32 years old and I have been scrapping like crazy for 4 years. I am French, but live in Montreal, Canada since May 2010. What an adventure !

I think scrapbooking is a wonderful opportunity to have fun (it should not be stressful), but most of all an opportunity to leave a trace of my life and my family's life.

My style ? I love playing with colors and give a particular attention to little details. Plus, journaling takes an important place in my projects.

I am glad to be with you in this fantastic Paper & Co Show adventure, and I am sure that we are going to have a lot of fun together!!
