We're so excited to announce our design team today! We're so grateful to everyone who applied. We got so many amazing applications and it was a very tough choice. You've seen some posts from a few of them already but we'd like to introduce the whole group:
Andrea
Hi! My name is Andrea Bethke, and I am a scrappy Latina living in sunny Southern California who believes in unicorns and mermaids and all things magical. In fact, I believe in fairytales, and you may know me as Fairytale Scrapbook on Instagram and Youtube! I am married to a super amazing, Prince Charming of a hubby named Ryan, and we live in a little house with a sweet Chihuahua-Terrier named Leeloo.
I love, love, love to create! It is incredibly important to me not just because I find it fun but because it literally helps me get through the day. In fact, you may not know this, but I have a rare condition called CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome) which causes me to constantly be in pain...and often it's really, really bad or even excruciating pain. There is no cure and because of it I struggle with limited mobility, and I'm often stuck in bed. I get through it all with the help of my God, the truest of true love of my husband, and a whole lot of scrapbooking! Yes, I looooove scrapbooking. To me, it is not just a hobby, but something that has helped me work through the pain.
My motto is to live your life as a fairytale, which to me means that I want to live my life with courage and imagination and much love, the way they do in fairytales! I accomplish this by writing my own story with my own happily ever after!
My love of fairytales has not only had an impact on my motto but also on my scrappy style! I love the look of whimsical and beautiful things in scrapbooking. I am definitely very girly and I also love vintage things. I am very inspired by Disney, especially vintage Disney.
I am super duper excited to have started this new journey with The Fairytale Club! It has been my dream for a long time to design my own scrapbook and planner collections, and I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to start my own company! I hope you will join me in being part of the club! I know it's going to be a wonderful fairytale adventure!
So now you know a lot about me... and in closing I just want to encourage you to live your life as a fairytale because I think we all have the opportunity to be the heroine of our own story and write our own happily ever afters!
Adeline
I'm Adeline French, 33 years old, mum of two pirates and married to my charming Prince. My life is full of boy things so my wonderland world is pink and glitter!!! I love shopping and Disneyland. I discovered scrap and planner world in 2015 and now it is an addiction. When I play with my planner I forget everything it's my own time like I am in other world. What I love is watching Disney films during my planner time.
Allie
My name is Allie, and I'm a Chiropractic Assistant living in a suburb of Portland, Oregon. I've been married to the man of my dreams, Michael, for five wonderful years. We love Disney, Star Wars, and Doctor Who! I've been scrapbooking since 2006, when I got a job at a paper store as a high schooler. It's been true love ever since! If I'm not scrapbooking, you'd find me reading a good book, drinking coffee, or singing at the top of my lungs to Disney music. I'm excited to join the Fairy Tale club team!
Carolee
Hi there! I'm Carolee. I'm a full time crafter and blogger originally from the east coast but now living in sunny LA with my hubby and two corgis. I come from a long line of crafty ladies, but I first got into Project Life back in 2013 and since then, my obsession's only grown! Right now, I focus mainly on planners and traveler's notebooks, but I dabble in just about everything. I also love Disney (including Marvel and Star Wars), animals but especially unicorns,
Enza
I was born and raised in Italy but moved to the U.S. almost thirteen years ago to be with the love of my life. I am passionate about photography and all forms of memory keeping. Scrapbooking was non-existent for me growing up and only started being my creative outlet in 2008. My style has definitely changed over the years, becoming more detailed and colorful, while still being clean and simple. I enjoy working for Design Teams and always love a good challenge when it comes to my creativity. Spending time with my husband and three kids is my absolute favorite.
Henny
My name is Henny. I'm 35 years young and I'm a stay at home mom to my 2 little kids. I'm originally from Indonesia, came to the States in the year of 2006. I was introduced to the scrapbooking world by my husband at 2007, and I'm hooked ever since. But I have always been loving doing crafts since I was a little kid 😊. I have always put my time, care and effort into everything I do when it comes to creativity/crafting. Aside from planning, I also do enjoy doing scrapbooking, Card-making, DIY projects, etc.
Kim
Kim is a 41year old mother to 4 sporty, smelly and sweet boys ranging in the ages of 5 to 17 and lucky enough to be married to my favorite person in the world who lets her be a stay at home mom. When not doing laundry, this ex-fiber arts teacher loves memory keeping by scrapbook and pocket pages and to creatively plan to make sure she don't routinely forget someone at some sports practice! Don't let all that household testosterone fool you, this bubbly ex-pageant girl knows her sparkle and sass which you'll find sprinkled throughout her projects!
Odessa
Hi, I'm Odessa and I love all things colourful, fun and sparkly! I obsessively take photos and got into memory keeping as a way to get all those pictures of my family, our fun adventures and too many cups of coffee off my phone and into an album. I like getting messy and playing with colour and composition. My albums are 80% pink even though I have 2 boys because that's how I roll. When I'm not working on my pocket page album I'm busy trying to achieve perfect mermaid coloured hair, adventuring with my family, napping or knitting - I co-own a yarn store so being creative is basically my life!
Sarah
My name is Sarah, I'm a wife and mother to 6 goofy littles. We have 3 fur babies, 2 cats and a pup. I love to scrapbook, do DIY and be outdoors with my kiddos. I grew up in Alaska and have lived in all the A state's besides Arizona.
Teresa
Hello! I'm Teresa and here's a little about me! I love beautiful photography and far off places, I love things that are girlie and magical, I love the color pink and eating sweets. I'm very much a dreamer. I adore things that are packaged pretty, I will go out of my way to buy something if it's packaged pretty, it's my Achilles heel. I would call my crafting style a "beautiful mess" it's never perfect, it can be sometimes messy and a little busy, but that's what I find beautiful about it! I created this "Beautiful Mess". I'm also a mommy of two crazy, beautiful girls. We live a military life thanks to the hubby! And currently living in Hawaii.
Tiffany
Tiffany Julia is an artist of many trades living in New York City with an absolute passion for documenting her everyday life. A traveller to the core, she loves documenting her various journeys around the world in thick handmade travel journals and fun mini books. While she's not traversing the globe, she enjoys documenting the everyday in her memory planners and experimenting with mixed media in her art journals. You can always find her creating new things in her spare time. She just loves papercrafting!
We're so proud of and excited for this new design team and we hope you are too! Look forward to posts from all of them in the future!
