Meet: Eva Pizarro

Aug

Hi! My name is Eva Pizarro, I’m Chilean and I live in Santiago with my husband Marco.

I discovered scrapbooking while finishing my engineering degree in Italy 8 years ago, and I immediately fell in love! I now do something scrap-related practically everyday! I like to scrap pictures that have a story or mean something to me. I use clean lines and often a neutral background. I also think journaling is really important! I’ve always liked to write about my feelings and emotions, and I found in scrapbooking a way for me to express my inner side and my creativity.

I love to spend time with my family, to cook (and eat) , the beach, read a good book and I also love tv series.

Some of my favorite projects from last year:

Hi, I’m Amanda Coleman! I live near Rexburg, Idaho with my husband of 13 years, my 10 year-old son, and 8 year-old daughter. We are bonafide city slickers turned country folk. Almost two years ago we bought a small farm and are still learning the quirks of managing a larger property. We have and a bunch of critters including goats, chickens, cats, dogs, and a horse. We have also raised ducks, turkeys, and pigs. The farm is one big, fun experiment!

I delight in everything chocolate and relish my daily Coke Zero. I enjoy crafts of all types. I sew a little, crochet a little, and enjoy baking and cooking. I used to be a high school teacher and teach biology part time at the local university.

I’m Holly of Ribbons & Glue and live in Las Vegas, NV with my husband and two children. I previously worked as a Registered Dietitian who has been lucky enough to hang up her lab coat to become a SAHM.

My passion for papercrafting started over 10 years ago as a Scrapbooker and now my creativity has turned towards altering items, home decor and anything I can up-cycle. I’m a sucker for small details and love to make unique gifts for friends and family.

I look forward to another exciting year on the Pebbles Design Team and I hope my creations bring inspiration.

Meet: Mendi Yoshikawa

My name is Mendi Yoshikawa and I am so happy to be here!!! I am married my college sweetheart and together we live in Camas, Washington with our 2 girls and one very spoiled cat.

With the birth of our oldest daughter 14 years ago, I caught the scrapbooking bug (and later the stamping and card making bugs) and I have been obsessed ever since. I gravitate towards designs with clean, linear lines and bright colors. I am also a sketch addict with a passion for die-cutting and sewing on my projects.

I love staying up late and would live in my pajamas if I could. My favorite crafty snacks are Dr. Pepper and all things bread-related, but I’m trying my best to reduce my intake of both. When I’m not in my craft room I enjoy taking on organizational projects, shopping for bargains, watching crime dramas and old movies from the 1930’s through 1960’s (and of course taking long naps to recover from my late nights). 😉

You can follow me at my blog at Snippets By Mendi or on Pinterest. I also keep an updated gallery of my work at Scrapbook.com and A Cherry On Top. 🙂

Meet: Becki Adams

Hello, I’m Becki Adams. I was born and raised outside of a small farming town in Idaho. Even though I grew up on a potato/wheat farm I don’t eat potatoes or wheat. (My dad is mortified.) I currently raise my kiddos in a home that is only a few miles from the home I grew up in.

I started scrapbooking in 1998 when I was given the assignment to create a scrapbook for a Home Economics class. Like many other scrapbookers, my passion for the hobby really started after I had my oldest son in 2001. Since then, scrapbooking has become a lifestyle for me and my family.

My husband Justin and I have 3 fabulous kids. Cole is 12, Kayleigh is 9, and Austin is 5.

I love a clean house, a good book, and a really great cup of hot chocolate (in the winter) or a glass of raspberry lemonade (in the summer). Oh, and chocolate, don’t forget that I love chocolate. I also love a great find in a thrift store. My most favorite things to look for are books and dishes…a girl can never have too many dishes, or books.

I define my style as, colorful, bold, clean and classic. Memory keeping is my passion. I love to share that passion with everyone! I love teaching and sharing my creativity with others. I’d love to share it with you too at BeckiAdams.com.
