Samantha Sibbet started scrapbooking 8 years ago to document her travels with her husband. In the last 2 years Samantha has been introduced to a whole new world of scrapbooking via the internet. Samantha loves to find inspiration from blogs especially reading the stories behind the designs. Samantha is one of our returning design team members and we are thrilled to have her on board for another year.
Describe yourself in 3 words … open minded, easy going, happy
My guilty pleasure is … Baskin Robbins Chocolate Ice Cream with Peanut Butter.
You’ll never find me without … sun glasses – I live in San Diego after all.
Growing up I … wanted to be a ballerina or archeologist.
You might be surprised to know that I … could eat sushi 7 days a week.
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be … fall in New York City, winter in San Diego, spring in Paris, summer in London.
My least favorite chore is … all of them, I just think they are all awful.
If I had one wish it would be … what an extremely difficult question. I wish that my children will one day know the happiness that I have being their mom.
Here’s what Samantha had to say about her layout … “With a sewing machine I stitched horizontal and vertical rows on white cardstock. I used a die cut machine to cut the bird and layered it over the stitched piece with dimensional adhesive.”

My guilty pleasure is … vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles and whipped cream. No cherry though – I can’t stand them!
You’ll never find me without … chapstick – I am hopelessly addicted to it.
Growing up I … hardly knew how to ride a bike. We always had horses so if I was going to ride anything it was a horse. Now my youngest son has the same love for horse back riding I did as a child.
You might be surprised to know that I … have run 2 marathons. I would love to do one more someday. I am hoping my last will be the first one my son ever runs!
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be … Maine. I love New England and spent lots of summers there as a child.
My least favorite chore is … ugh, where do I start – dusting, no, bathrooms, no, laundry, no, all of them. Weird thing is I am a clean freak so I do it despite hating it.
If I had one wish it would be … that every time I ate a bowl of pasta it did not go straight to my hips.
Here’s what Mimi had to say about her layout … “This layout suits me … natural colors, clean lines and a little bit of texture. It is very much like my personality. I am very much a “natural” girl, who loves being outside with my kids, a straight arrow but is still willing to shake things up just a bit so life doesn’t get ordinary.”
