"I live in the South of France and work part-time as a psychologist as well as in an online scrapbook store. I joined the Design Team of Histoires de Pages in October 2012! Since then, I’ve had the chance to share a human experience with fantastic scrappers, meet creative challenges that lead me to challenge myself.
My style is mainly Clean & Simple. I like to work around the picture which to me is the central element, to which are added carefully chosen small decorations."

"Better known on the web under the name of Scrap'Ann o n'yhm (meaning Scrap-anonymous), I am the mother of three great kids and the wife of a great husband who have been bearing my passion since 2007. I caught the "scrapbooker fever" after the birth of my 3rd child and since then I have not been able to heal!
Three years ago, we moved to Southern France and I started a new life as a professional scrapper, giving workshops everywhere in France. I have been working with Histoires de Pages since 2009. What I like is splodging, working with colors, textures and material. I do not define myself being a mixed-media person as I practice scrapbooking with personal photos, but I use its techniques. Finally, I think what I like most about scrapbooking is creating my own backgrounds, photos and embellishments becoming an excuse to use them."

"I started scrapbooking in 2003 thanks to a friend who had a sister-in-law who loved the States and brought her a lot of scrapbooking supplies from there. That was really fascinating to me! So I started an internet research to understand where I could find supplies and what was this art called scrapbooking! Since that day a crazy love for scrapbooking was born and I'll never leave it: it is a lifestyle, an important part of my life! My style is colorful and clear, full of little details that I love to mix together! I live in the South of Italy with my adorable husband, I love to take care of my home and improve it everyday with something handmade new.

I have the honor to be involved in this amazing new adventure since January 2013! When I received the email, I was very surprised and happy. I didn't believe in what I was reading. My favorite style is a clear and fresh style, a style that gives me the idea of freshness and happiness! So colorful and full of tiny details to tell a story."

We are going to start our DT introduction with our Art Director, Gaëlle Fauglas.

I have been passionately fond of scrapbooking for over 7 years, during which I gave numerous workshops throughout France and I have also been a designer for several brands. I have been a member of the DT since August 2008 and Art director since January 2013. I am a Freestyle scrapbooker! I like my layouts to be both sweet and colorful. They are mostly feminine, with a few small spots and sewing. But I also like variety and I can create simple layouts as well as busy ones.”
