Tammy has been an active crafter for most of her life but she has found scrapbooking to be her true passion for most of the past five years. Initially she resisted the urge because she knew she would be hooked and once she did, she's been addicted since her first layout. She especially loves all the wonderful designs and textures of patterned papers and gains inspiration from them.

On a personal note, Tammy is employed as a nurse manager for a small hospital in her town. She is married to a wonderful man named Dave who totally supports her scrapbooking obsession. He has built her a scrapbooking room which she covets. She has three boys; Jaron- 21, Tanner-15, and Gabriel-4. The age difference in her children keeps her busy and she knows she won't go through the "empty nest syndrome" any time soon.

Bethany lives in Bothell, Washington, with her husband of ten years and their very hairy, four-legged friend, Miss Griffin. In addition to her addiction to papercrafting, she enjoys card making, knitting, felting and quilting. She is happiest when busy creating and loves color – if you ask her what her favorite color is, it will likely be a different answer each time. She finds the little creative details of crafting especially fun and savors creative blogs, exploring flea markets, spending time with family and friends, drinking coffee with real cream and having a good belly laugh (the kind that brings happy tears to the eyes)!

Hello everyone, I am Mara and I am excited to be designing at Citrus Tree Studio. I am a molecular biologist by day and a busy mom, wife, and paper crafter at night. I live in Southern California with my two children, my home brewing husband and our escape artist hamster. I love to scrapbook and make layouts, cards, altered items, home decor and gift bags. I am also an avid baker and you will find a mix of paper projects and flour and sugar recipes on my blog. In my spare time I enjoy camping, hiking, running marathons and generally chasing after my family with my camera. I simply adore the atmosphere and community here at Citrus Tree and I am really honored to be a part of it.

Melonie has been scrapbooking since her youngest was born, just about seven years now, and she is still going strong. Although she has dabbled in various other crafts, scrapbooking is the one that has her whole-hearted interest. She lives in a small town in New York with her high school sweetheart and husband of fourteen years and their two children, one boy and a girl. She runs a small daycare out of her home and when she is not busy chasing children she loves playing with paper and glue!

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 seven 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, Cards, Simply Handmade, Blue Media, Leisure Arts, and Memory Makers Magazine, even winning the title of Memory Makers Master in 2007. She currently designs for Imaginisce and TaDa Creative Studios.

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.
