Design Team/Challenge Coordinator
Perrysburg, Ohio
Five years ago, I was a completely addicted rubber stamper/card maker who found herself surrounded by friends m who kept pushing scrapbooking. I couldn’t understand why they were so hooked on making glorified photo albums! And then, I found out I was expecting my first baby; and suddenly I wanted to record every moment, of every day, of my sweet little girl’s life. That’s when the lightbulb clicked! And I was hooked.

Since then, I have fallen just as much in love with the creative process. The interplay of color and pattern and texture (and storytelling!) just makes me happy, so I am thrilled to be working with a company who creates such fabulous, colorful and creative products!

My name is Christy Davis, and I live in sunny Florida with my wonderful husband and three young children. I got started in scrapbooking six years ago after my wedding, when I wanted to create something special to preserve my wedding memories. The funny thing is that shortly after, I got pregnant with our first child, and much of my scrapbooking focus became my children... and as a result, not all of those wedding photos ever got scrapbooked! :) My other hobbies include reading and photography. I am excited to be a part of TaDa’s design team. I have admired the TaDa product lines for some time and I am anxious to have more opportunities to play with them!

Mansfield, Ohio
I have been scrapping for 13 years now. My favorite subject to scrapbook is my family. I have been married to my best friend, Don, for 12 years. We have a 7-year-old daughter named Sydnee and a 3-year-old daughter, Shay. We reside in the wonderful state of Ohio. Of course I scrap the "big" moments, but I mainly just scrap those special everyday moments. My family is the main reason I scrap, and they are the primary subjects of my layouts. I also have a Book of Me album, a garden album, and a recipe album that I like to work in.
I am super excited to be working with the fabulous products of Tada Creative Studios!!!!

I am Stacey Hansen. A craft-tographer. That is right, pick a cake and I will decorate it, pick a wall and I will paint it, pick an embellishment and I will glue it down. Pick a craft and I will give it a whirl and then take pictures of the process. That is how I became a scrapbooker. My life in pictures, telling a story and what a fun filled story it is to tell. I am a wife of one amazing man, a mom of six adorable kiddos, and a friend to many. I am an Adoptive parent, Foster Parent, Biological Parent, Boo Boo Healer, Band Aid Administrator, with an official title of "MOM". I started scrapbooking before I really even knew other people scrapbooked too. About 16 years ago I had fun shaped scissors, crazy colored markers, and my hobby began. That hobby became a passion and now I couldn’t imagine doing it any other way. So many memories to be made, so many pictures to be taken, so many pages in the making.

Schaumburg, Illinois
I have been scrapbooking since the late 1970s and have been "acid-free" for over 10 years. I teach scrapbooking from basic to advanced in various settings (local scrapbook stores, weekend retreats and at home). By using my Japanese language skills, I have spread my passion to the local Japanese communities in New Jersey/New York areas, and now in Chicago. I was a product designer for LaserLine’s (Washington, IL) chipboard and acrylic products. My work has been published in various publications, internet sites and television.
I have been married to my patient husband, Hosho, for 18 years and have two teenagers who are the main subjects of my crazy scrapbooking addiction. I thank TaDa Creative Studios for the opportunity to be on the design team and look forward to working with the rest of the team!

Hi, I'm Nicole Stark, I started scrapbooking shortly after my son was born in 2002. I wanted a way to document his milestones and all the baby books I found weren’t exactly what I wanted. It’s now been 8 years and I’m totally and completely dedicated to this crazy hobby of mine.

I reside in Roy, UT, a little town about 30 minutes north of Salt Lake with my boys, husband Brandon and son Wesley. I love the color purple, Mexican food, time outside with my family, reading, photography, cooking, running, and just enjoying life!

My name is Rita Barakat. I have been married to my wonderful hubby for 19 years. Before I had children I painted life size murals for a living. I am blessed to be a SAHM (stay at home mom) to five beautiful children ages 18 down to 4! My talents are all in the fine arts. I direct a youth choir and drama team. I sing and have always been a crafter and an artist. When I ran across scrapbooking I was immediately hooked! Scrapbooking is my passion.

Hi, I am Susan Dupre. I am so honored to be asked to be a part of TaDa Creative Studio’s design team! I can’t wait to get my hands on their awesome goodies and contribute once a quarter. I started scrapping in March 2007 when my little guy was three. I used to do interior design before he was born, but until he is in school full time, that is on hold. Scrapping has been such a wonderful artistic substitute. I never dreamed I would get so hooked with this form of art, but I did. You will find my style to be almost anything, well, because I love it all! Since I started scrapping, I have been fortunate to have been on several manufacturer design teams and to have been published in various magazines. It has all been a dream come true. I still wake up pinching myself. I can’t wait to see what the future holds as I continue to grow as an artist. I so appreciate TaDa Creative Studios for believing in me. Thank you again for this honor!

My name is Marianne Luken and I live in Phoenix, AZ. I am a mom of four beautiful children - Emma (8), Jack (6), Clare (4), and Joe (2). I am originally from New Jersey, went to college in Indiana, and started my career as a teacher in North Carolina. Ever since Emma arrived, I have had the privilege of staying home and raising my kids first-hand. However, I have not let go of my roots as a teacher. I work at a local preschool teaching kids to read and helping them get ready for Kindergarten. I also spend a lot of hours at my church working with third and fifth graders on service projects within the church and the community. On a day without the kids (which is rare), I love to read, go on hikes or walks, and craft. I am an active person who loves to play basketball and softball. My kids are my world and being creative is my passion.
