• How long have you been scrapping? What drew you to scrapbooking/paper crafting/card making? I started scrapbooking in 2000 after my sister introduced me to to this fun hobby. I have always loved being crafty so scrapbooking was right up my alley and of course who can resist all of those pretty papers and fun embellishments! I took a break from paper crafting altogether in 2004 when I had my first son but came back with a renewed passion in early 2008 and haven’t looked back since. I scrapbook for so many different reasons – it’s a wonderful way for me to get in touch with my creative side and to really reflect on my life and my family.

• What inspires you? I am inspired by so many things but mostly by the colors, textures, and patterns in everything around me.

• Describe your style in 3 words/short phrases. Clean, colorful, with a fun mix of pattern, texture, and embellishments.

• Favorite Pebbles product/collection? Do I really have to pick just one? LOL Okay “if” I could only choose one collection it would have to be Downtown – the color combination of the golden yellow, teal, and brown is just outta this world and I absolutely LOVE the houndstooth patterned paper and those adorable house stickers!

• Favorite sweet treat? Again, do I really have to pick just one? LOL You might say I have a bit of a sweet tooth and I always have some kind of candy in my scrap room when I’m working. Right now the candy of choice is Swedish Fish – the red ones of course!

• Favorite place to travel or where would you like to travel? I went to Italy over 10 years ago when I was in college and I would love to be able to go back and experience it all over again now that I’m “all grown up” … and with a DIGITAL camera this time! 🙂

• Were you named after anyone or do you have a nickname? Good question! There’s a bit of a debate about this in family as to whether my name was derived from one aunt or another so let’s just say that there is nobody else in my family named “Lynn” and leave it at that. LOL

• How long have you been scrapping? I’ve been scrapping for 3 years, when I had my second daughter. I was looking for a hobby that would permit me to stay at home with the babies. I was searching on the net, and then I saw the word scrapbooking. And from this moment I never stopped creating or thinking about creating.

• What inspires you? Of course I’m very inspired by my daughters, but also by every colors and textures. Oh and playing with my new Nikon D80 :).

• Describe your style in 3 words/short phrases. Colorfull-sweet-freestyle.

• Favorite Pebbles product/collection? Very hard question! I love Linnie Bell. And I can’t wait to get Lil’ Miss!

• Favorite place to travel or where would you like to travel? LA!!!!!

This week we’re “getting to know” all of the members of the Pebbles Design Team! We have members of the DT from all over the world–France, Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, Australia, South Africa, Singapore and the States–exciting, huh? Some are in the middle of Summer, and some are in the middle of Winter! We also have a mother and daughter on the team! Several ladies on the team have been scrapping for several years and have become well known in the “scrap scene.” For others, this is their first experience on a design team! Each member brings something different and unique to the team.

I’ve loved getting to know everyone on the team over the last several days and hope you will, too!
