Leah Killian
Design Team Manager
Leah Killian, our Design Team Manager, is a North Dakota girl traveling the world at the side of her air force husband, Chris. Currently residing in California, she keeps herself busy being the mother of three crazy adorable children, Jonas, Maggie, and Gabriel, reading, and eating as much Mexican food as she can find. Leah started scrapping over a decade ago, long before scrapping was the art form it is today, and way before scrapping was cool. Now, many, many layouts later, she can usually be found up to her elbows in paper and adhesive working on the next project. Leah has a passion for writing and enjoys keeping her blog, "Life as Lou" which is a compilation of short stories from her life and her scrapbooking projects. She is very excited to be a part of this great kit club!

Lynn Ghahary
Designer
My name is Lynn Ghahary and I live in Northwest New Jersey with my husband and high school sweetheart Salar and our two wild and crazy boys Darian (almost 5) and Brandon (3). I was first introduced to the wonderful world of scrapbooking by my sister way back in 2000. I took a break completely in 2004 when my first son was born and didn't really come back to paper crafting until early 2008.
Now that I'm back I am here to stay and have been completely in awe at how far this amazing craft has come since we first "met" over 9 years ago! The online crafting community is completely relatively new to me but to say I'm addicted is an understatement. I love being able to connect with others around the world and have met some of the most amazing women through this hobby. Scrapbooking is my creative outlet – it lets me get in touch with who I am and my goals and dreams for myself and my family, all while preserving our most cherished family photos and memories.
In addition to scrapbooking I am an avid gardener, bookworm, and wannabe photographer. I am also a self-professed reality TV show junkie and organizing diva.

Susan Lui
Designer
Hello! My name is Susan Lui and I'm from the sunny island of Singapore. I started scrapping a couple of years ago and fell in love with this meaningful hobby because it allowed me to record and preserve memories for my family in a manner that appealed to the creative side of me. I've loved art and craft for as long as I remember. I've dabbled in pottery and made jointed mohair teddy bears, but now my passion lies in scrapbooking. I have a fondness for shabby-chic designs and love layering my layouts. But I also enjoy a good challenge and experimenting with different scrapbooking styles and trying out new techniques on my layouts and altered art pieces.
I am proud to be on the design teams for Graphic 45 and Purple Onion Designs and am really thrilled to be back for a second term as designer on My Scrapbook Nook.

Zarah S Peterson
Designer
Zarah is a 30-year old Swede who's married to her soul mate, best friend and dream man. (Yes, those are all the same person: her wonderful, supportive husband Mikael.) She's the mother of two - both furry (with a tail) and when she doesn't work as a lunch lady in the local school, she scraps, makes cards, writes, reads, draws, chats with friends and spends the rest of the time watching movies with her DH.
She's got a weird sense of humour, a big heart and a huge love of words...!
Zarah has been scrapping since late '05 and she calls the Nook her second home since February '07.
She's thrilled to get the opportunity to be back on this amazing team, that she missed awfully while on a leave, and she looks forward to seeing _you_ on the message board!

Stacey Michaud
Designer
Hi all! My name is Stacey Michaud. I am married to a great guy and we have two wonderful children! I am a teacher during the day and an avid scrapbooker by night! Loving all things paper, I scrap to create keepsakes for my family and friends. When designing layouts, my favorite part is being able to tell the story behind the photos. I use my layouts as an opportunity to express my innermost feelings, good or bad, so that my family and friends will know just how I feel about them. For me, heartfelt journaling is a must! Scrapping about everyday moments and my loved one's personalities makes me happy. I have been blessed enough to be published in Memory Makers and Scrapbook Trends magazine several times! I can't believe how much joy I get from this craft! The Nook is an amazing place full of friendly and talented people. I consider myself super lucky to be here and can't wait to grow and learn alongside all of you!

Lisa Day
Designer
Hello! My name is Lisa Day and I live in West Michigan with my husband of 8 years and our two beautiful children, Katelyn and Noah. I am super close with my entire extended family and I wouldn't have it any other way! We are fun and crazy and almost always together!
Scrapbooking is my biggest passion and I love inspiring others to be creative and enjoy their lives. I also enjoy gardening, playing with the kids, decorating the house, organizing, photography, being outdoors (except for during the winter!) and loving life! I am teacher at Big Picture Scrapbooking (www.bigpicturescrapbooking.com) and I love it! I've started The Creativity Project, to inspire others to do something creative everyday, on my blog. The project has been received well by so many people and was even featured on Studio 5 on KSL TV (an NBC affiliate in Utah). I am also on the Simply Renee (clip-it up!) design team.
I am really looking forward to being a part of the Nook community!!

Daniela Dobson
Designer
My name is Daniela and I live in Dallas, TX. I am married to Peter and we have a little boy, Alex, who is 18 months. He keeps me busy and my days are filled taking care of him. He makes me happy and I am so grateful that I am able to stay at home and spend time watching him grow. I have been scrapbooking and stamping for over 5 years. I really enjoy challenges and strive to be innovative. I love recording every day moments, especially now, with my son. When I am not crafting I can be found watching reality TV, cooking, reading or traveling.

Becky Williams
Designer
Hi!! I am Becky Williams and am so excited to be a member of My Scrapbook Nook's design team. I live in west Texas with my husband, Matt, and three little princesses- Hailey (almost 5), Sarah (3 1/2) and Aimee (1 1/2). Once a physical therapist assistant I now happily stay home with my little girls and get to enjoy their antics, their creativity and craziness. While it is much harder work than my previous job I LOVE being a mom and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
I have been scrapbooking in one form or another since I was a teenager and LOVE LOVE LOVE that each month I get to say that I "have" to scrap! Besides my obvious love for this hobby I also love to play out in the yard, love just about anything chocolate, Gilmore Girls re-runs, gerber daisies and am developing my photography skills. I am so grateful and so excited to be a part of this talented team.

Camilla Ekman
Designer
I'm Camilla Ekman from southern Sweden. I work as a Montessori teacher and when I'm off work I do what I love most - that is of course scrapbooking. My favourite scrapping subjects are my children Julia and Filip, but every now and then my dear husband Lasse ends up on a page or two. I have scrapped since early 2007 and enjoyed every minute of my hobby. Through scrapbooking I keep my memories alive but above all I get to be creative. I get to use my hands! I would say that I tend to scrap romantic and shabby. I love using flowers, bling and lace. When I don't scrap I enjoy books, travelling and spending lots of time with friends. I'm soooo lucky to be doing my second term at the Nook!!! The kits are to die for and there are so many wonderful ladies to chat with on the messageboard. See you there!

Brittny Lejeune
Designer
Helllllooooooo!!!!
My name is Brittny Lejeune (yes, it's spelled that way) and I live in Vacaville, California. I'm a recent transplant from San Luis Obispo, California (and I miss it like crazy) where I got my bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture, worked as a graphic designer, and met my soon-to-be ball and chain...ehem... I mean the love of my life, Eric. After I graduated I was introduced to a lovely little economy where jobs for Landscape Architects don't exist and as a result I am now officially a stay-at-home fiance pursuing my love of scrapbooking.
I co-own a small scrapbooking studio in Fresno, California with my mom, Sarah, where I have been teaching classes and hosting small crops for the last year or so. I consider myself to be a coniseur of smut novels and chocolate and look forward to the day when I have a house full of kids to keep me from enjoying both.
I am so honored and excited to be on the Nook's design team and can't wait to get to know you all better!!
