We'd like to thank all of the wonderful designers that have worked with us so far:
 

Daniela 
Daniela Dobson

My name is Daniela and I live in Dallas, TX. I am married to Peter and we have a little boy, Alex, who is three years old. He keeps me busy and my days are filled taking care of him. I have been scrapbooking and stamping for over eight years. I really enjoy challenges and strive to be innovative. I love recording every day moments, especially now with my son. I am a night owl and I stay up way too late creating. I love patterned paper and I am a collector of things, stamps in particular, they are everywhere. When I am not crafting I can be found watching reality TV, cooking, reading or traveling. I’m so excited to be a part of the Citrus Tree Studio Design Team.

aimee 
Aimee Kidd

Aimee resides in Charlotte, North Carolina with her wonderful and supportive husband Chad and their three children Chris, Joshua and Gracie. She started scrapbooking in 1995 after the birth of her first child and has been going strong ever since. Her style of scrapbooking has changed over the years and currently enjoys layering, fussy cutting, distressing, sewing and using tons of embellishments. Scrapbooking is her creative outlet that keeps her going and also for her children to have something solid to keep their childhood memories alive. When she is not scrapbooking, she also enjoys photography, cooking, and having fun with her family.

Pamala
Pamala Sandy

Pamala has been scrapbooking for over 10 years and also loves sewing which she has done since the age of 9. She enjoys playing with fabric as much as she does with paper so it's no surprise that one of her favorite techniques include stitching on paper. She's also a fan of inking, sanding, bling and her newest favorite, clear acrylic. Her work has been seen in several e-zine magazines such as ReadySetCreate, ScrapStreet and Scrap N Art as well as several Becky Fleck sites. She is also on the Design Team for Zutter Zisters.  She manages to squeeze in some teaching, too.

Pamala lives in Michigan with her husband and five dogs. They enjoy a wide variety of sports, the great outdoors and travelling. They are enjoying the company of their first grandchild and are looking forward to the arrival of their second.

PattiWest 
Patti West

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.

Tricia Wilson 
Tricia Wilson

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.

Stacey
Stacey Ross

Stacey has been officially scrapbooking for nearly nine years and has also produced scrapbook-like books during her high school and college days. She enjoys scrapbooking for herself and her family and has enjoyed several design team opportunities. Her work has been published in the e-zine magazines, ScrapStreet and ReadySetCreate. She also has aspirations of submitting her work to other publications when her busy schedule will allow.

Stacey lives in the Kansas City area with her husband of thirteen years and her three beautiful children, Anna, age 8, Ethan, age 5 and her youngest Samantha who turned twenty months in June. She works part time during the evenings/nights for a large metropolitan hospital as a Medical Technologist. Because she is a generalist in her field, she can work in all areas of the laboratory.

KristenSimmons 
Kristen Simmons

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!


Shelly 
Shelly Hein-Simmons

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 Samuels - March Guest Designer
Nicole Samuels
March 2009 Guest Designer

I live in Virginia with my husband and three sweet, playful, and often LOUD children. :) I started scrapbooking in 2001 and it's become a true passion and also escape from the sometimes crazy days of being a stay at home mom! I'm so very fortunate to be part of the design teams at Studio Calico, Pink Paislee, and Creative Cafe and to have my pages published in Creating Keepsakes, Scrapbook Trends, Scrapbooks Etc., and Simple Scrapbooks. I'm thankful and excited to be asked to guest design this month at CTS!

Cindy Liebel
Cindy Liebel
December Guest Designer

Hi there, my name is Cindy Liebel. I am a devoted wife to Tim (6+ yrs), a mother to two beautiful children, Tyler (almost 6 yrs old) and Corinne (17 mths) and I enjoy capturing the everyday life of my family through the lens. I have enjoyed scrapbooking for almost 6 years and love every minute of it. I tend to scrap mostly 12×12, but I also enjoy smaller sizes such as 8.5×11, 9×9, etc. Mini books and altering anything that screams to be altered is another way I like to express myself in this hobby. I love trying new things and stepping outside of the box. My favorite essentials I grab for first are cardstock, chipboard, brads, buttons, jewels, T-ruler, corner rounder and anything circular. I'm fortunate to have a studio all to myself to house all my scrapbook goodies. Other hobbies I enjoy are making jewelry, cooking, photography, home improvement projects, fine arts, sewing. If I'm not scrapbooking, you can find me on the couch indulging in a good movie or playing w/ my kids.

Currently, I am a Garden Girl for Two Peas In A Bucket, Page Frames Design Team, an alumni American Crafts Creative Design Team member and I was named 2007 Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame Honorable Mention. You can find some of my work published in a variety of scrapbook magazines, such as, Scrapbooks Etc, Scrapbook Trends, Legacy Magazine, Memory Makers & Creating Keepsakes.

I am so excited and honored to be a guest designer for Citrus Tree this month. It's a wonderful kit club & I am always happy to support local crafters & scrapbookers alike! Thanks so much for this opportunity Cindy!!
