Hi all! My name is Kristen and I live in the wonderful state of Kentucky with my husband Scott. We have been married for almost 2 years and I couldn't ask for a better man. He supports all of my addictions, including scrapbooking! We have two furry babies together, Snickers and Rascal. We hope to have children soon.

I have been addicted to scrapbooking since 2004. I love being able to preserve my memories through this awesome hobby. Besides scrapbooking, I enjoy spending time with my family, exercising, cooking, going out to eat, karaoke, spoiling my kitties, shopping and dancing. I'm so excited to be a part of the Citrus Tree Studio team!

I share my home with my husband, 3 dogs 1 cat, 1 stray cat, Sheldon the Wonder Turtle and his fish friend, in Lakeside, California. When I am not scrapbooking, I love being on the water and fishing (hence my online name – Reel Girl!). Animals and water are a big inspiration in my creations.

I also love sewing, reading and crossword puzzles. I have been scrapbooking my life and “altering” things since childhood - always gluing pictures and memorabilia into some sort of album and personalizing every item I owned.

My scrapbooking and paper crafting took on a new dimension and truly became a creative outlet for me in 2001. I am proud to have been published in Memory Makers Magazine, and several online scrapbooking and paper crafting Ezines, including Ready, Set, Create! and Scrapbook News and Review.

Nicole started scrapbooking shortly after her son was born.  She wanted a way to document his milestones and all the baby books she found weren't exactly what she wanted.  She resisted the hobby while growing up though a friend and the friend's mother were heavily involved in scrapbooking.  She couldn't fathom spending so much time and money on paper and glue but five years later she now understands the addiction. 

Nicole jumped into the publishing scene in 2003.  Since then she's had the opportunity of having her work seen in Cantata Books, Scrapbook Trends, Blue Media, Leisure Arts, and Memory Makers Magazine, even winning the title of Memory Makers Master in 2007.  She currently designs for Imaginisce producing items for CHA and product catalogs.

Nicole resides in Roy, UT, a little town about 30 minutes north of Salt Lake, with her husband Brandon and son Wesley.  She loves the color purple, Mexican food, time outside with her family, reading, photography, and playing around with her newest addiction, digital scrapbooking.

My name is Patti West and I am so happy to be designing for Citrus Tree Studio! I'm almost 49, and have lived in beautiful upstate New York most of my life. I married the boy next door, Tom, 25 years ago. We have two sons, Thomas who is 23 and a senior in college, and Matthew, who is 20, and a junior in college. They are both business majors.

I've been scrapping since a family trip out west, 8 years ago, which inspired me to do something special with our photos of Arches, Bryce, Zion and the Grand Canyon National Parks. I also love to alter wood pieces (and any found thing that can be recycled & altered). When I'm not in my craft room, my favorite place to be is my kitchen. I love to bake. Cookies are my favorite and my family and friends take full advantage of knowing that.

You know the saying "home is where the heart is?" Well, even though I love to travel and plan vacations, home is where I most love to be. I look forward to being home, in my craft room, creating for the Citrus Tree DT over the next few months.

Hello, my name is Tricia Wilson and I have called California home all of my life. I have been married to my best friend for 14 years. We have two amazing children: Peyton and Tanner. Creating is something I have been doing for as long as I can remember. I started out with latch hook rugs, paint by numbers, and eventually worked my way up to scrapbooking.

I love preserving memories with words and pictures while using fun, inspiring products. In addition to paper crafting, I enjoy photography, reading a good book and shopping for vintage treasures in antique stores.
