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.

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 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.

Angie Simonet
My name is Angie and I reside in Wisconsin with my husband of 5 years and our 3 year old son. I work full time in the purchasing field as a New Product Development Buyer, however my real passion is scrapbooking! I have been addicted to this hobby for the last 8 years, although ever since I was old enough to have a camera I loved taking pictures and documenting them.
My scrapping style is anything from simple to complex. I enjoy sharing this love with my friends and family, and have helped them start scrapping their own memories. I don't go a day without picking up something that is scrapbook related. I am also very fortunate to be able to be a part of Moxxie Design Team. By scrapping I not only hope to pass on wonderful memories but an impression of myself as well. I'm very excited to be a part of Citrus Tree Studios.

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! |

Nicole Patrizio
I've been married to my sweetie for 11
years and we live in Ohio. We have no children, so my scrapping
revolves around my husband and I, both of our families, nieces
and nephews (we have 24!), vacations (my absolute favorite topic
to scrap), our 9 year old Pug, my thoughts, feelings, emotions,
everyday events and anything else I feel inspired to scrap!
Since starting to scrapbook 5 years ago, I've watched my style
evolve. I am typically a "junk it up" kind of scrapper but also
enjoy a nice clean design if the mood should strike me.
In addition to scrapbooking, I love to cook and bake. The thrill
of digging through a new cookbook and trying a new recipe makes
me happy! I also love reading (especially autobiographies and
non-fiction) and anything photography-related. I take my camera
with me everywhere I go and will photography anything that
inspires me!

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!! |

Melissa Phillips
October
Guest Designer
After the birth
of her daughter, Melissa wanted to make handmade Thank You
notes to send out and became hooked immediately on card
making. It all spiraled from there and has become a
wonderful and rewarding part of Melissa’s life. “I love
creating things for other people, and I enjoy the process of
working with my hands to turn ordinary paper into something
heartfelt. My loves are card making and altering anything
that sparks my interest. I enjoy every minute of it and I
love to share my creations with those I love.”
Her work can be seen in publications such as Paper Crafts,
Scrapbook & Cards Today, CARDS magazine, Scrapbook Trends,
Paper Trends, Creating Keepsakes, and Scrapbooks Etc.
Melissa currently designs for Melissa Frances, Webster’s
Pages, Crate Paper, and Provo Craft.
Melissa was born and raised in American Fork, Utah. After
graduating from Brigham Young University, she and her
husband moved to Southern Nevada where they currently live
with their 4-year old daughter.

Jana Schofield
2008 Design Team
Jana has been scrapbooking for most of her life, though not always with fancy papers and embellishments. She was "officially" introduced to the hobby in 1998 and wasn't crazy about it because she thought she lacked creativity. However, after later returning to scrapbooking she found her niche and has been creating ever since. Her work has been published in Deluxe Design's Idea books (Colorblocking Idea Book and Pages By Design) during her Design Team tenure. She has also had several layouts published in online newsletters for various sites.
Jana lives just south of Kansas City, MO in Cleveland. She is married to Sean and has three children, Brooke, Zachary and Kayla, ranging in age from 8 to 19. The family enjoys their Shih-Tzu puppy named Buddy. Other than her busy duties as a Mother, she also works full-time as a Quality Assurance Analyst for Sprint.
