Hi, my name is April Leithner and I live in North Texas with my wonderful husband of 31 years.  We have two fabulous children, an amazing son in law and our second grandchild is on the way.  I have been making cards and paper crafting for over 24 years.  I love mixed media, backgrounds and die cutting.  However, I love anything that involves cardstock and ink. I also enjoy traveling, reading, and felt stitching. I am honored to be a part of the ScrapbookPal Design Team and look forward to sharing my projects with you.

Hi I’m Cassie Trask, and I currently live in Georgia with my husband of 25 years and our Siamese cats, Max and Myles. I’ve been paper crafting for well over 20 years.  I started sharing my creations through teaching on my blog, took a small break to homeschool my two kids through high school, and then came back and started teaching on YouTube.  If I’m not doing some sort of paper craft, I’m doing embroidery, or volunteering in our local military community.

Hi, I’m Colleen! I live in Central VT where I work in fundraising for a public library. I have always been a crafter, but it was 2018 when I joined the card making community. I have since started a YouTube channel and added scrapbooking to my repertoire. I would describe my crafty style as clean, modern, and fun!

Hi! I'm Dawn, I live in Connecticut with my husband, 3 beautiful children and my crazy dog, Willow. I love any type of craft. I started crafting in 1999 when I bought my first sewing machine. I started out making snowmen and scarecrows. I quickly moved on to designing my own patterns, which I sold in the Country Sampler magazine. Shortly after, I started creating floral arrangements which I sold at my local craft fair. I love designing and creating new things. As time went on, I found a LOVE for paper crafting. I find making cards very relaxing for me. It quickly became my main focus. So, I decided to share my passion for paper crafting with everyone. I'm super excited to be joining the ScrapbookPal Design Team and can't wait to share some crafty inspiration with you.

I'm a mother of 3 beautiful girls all under 10 years old. So as you can imagine, things are hectic but crafting is truly my escape and therapy from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In the working world, I do licensing and help companies abide by regulations in the pharma industry, so crafting is where I get to let loose and break the rules! My specialties are die-cutting, ink blending and I'm a sucker for florals. I'm really excited to be back on the ScrapbookPal Video Design Team for 2024-2025, as I did design on the team previously. I hope I can help inspire you to explore your crafty side too!

Hi, I’m Kathy and I live in the Midwest with my hubby.  We have a daughter who is on her own now, but thankfully lives close!  I’ve been an avid cardmaker for almost 25 years and it’s been exciting to see how much our crafting community has grown and that there are always new, fun products to create with!  My ‘natural’ style is clean and layered, but enjoy getting inky and playing with mixed media, too.   I’m thrilled to be on this amazing Scrapbook Pal Design Team and be able to share a little bit of my creativity with all of you!

Hi, I’m Leslie! Hubby and I have four grown kids and six grandkids, and we live in beautiful Colorado. We care for 15 rescued cats and just added a little Forkie (Frenchie + Yorkie) girl to our tribe! I began scrapbooking nearly 50 years ago – so long ago that all the fun papers and embellishments we use today hadn’t even been thought of. I’m a crafting junkie and really enjoy creating all things paper – handmade cards, 3-D projects, mini albums, gift bags, and paper purses and shoes. I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling and altered art. I'm totally excited about joining the ScrapbookPal design team and looking forward to sharing my projects with you! 

My name is Melanie Smith, and I have been 100% crafty for as long as I can remember. I am happily married to my soul mate Randy, and we have 3 grown children. When you do not find me Crafting Life on YouTube or in my facebook groups with friends, you will always find me with him. We live in the Atlanta area with our youngest adult son and little dog, Lola.

My name is Raquel and I am a Christian wife and mother of two amazing sons. I have been an avid crafter for as long as I can remember.  I have dabbled in painting, sewing, scrapbooking and mixed media. Whether is be on a card, a memory book, or a 3D paper project, my aim is to encourage crafters old and new to convey love through crafting, and to lose their fear of learning something new. I hope to share with you my passion for purposeful crafting, and to encourage you to create through my tutorials.

Hey crafty friends, My name is Safia, and I’m so honored to be part of the ScrapbookPal Video Design Team for a second time! I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with my husband Tyler, and two young daughters, aged 7 and 4. Currently, I’m a stay-at-home Mom to my two littles. In my spare time I love to craft (of course), be physically active and spend a lot of time with my family.4 years ago in a grocery store is where my cardmaking journey began. I picked up a cardmaking magazine and made all the sample cards in it and was hooked from that day! I watched a ton of YouTube videos to learn and now even have my own channel. I love to create scenes on my cards and have them tell a story. My favorite mediums to work with are Watercolor (for creating backgrounds) and Copic markers for coloring in images. I can’t wait to share my creativity with all of you!

Hello friends! My name is Sandy and I am absolutely thrilled to be on the Scrapbook Pal team this year. I have loved creating things for as long as I can remember. As a child I remember looking through the Sears Christmas Catalog and going over and over all the little craft kits to determine which ones I could put on my Christmas list. When I am not in my “Zen Den” creating cards or sewing, I am spending time with my husband of 41 years or with my two grown boys and their families. Our house is home to our dog, Quincy, but he usually has one of our grand dogs, Sam and Bjorn, over for a play date. I am a Colorado native and all of our beautiful seasons. I am not sure if my favorite part of cardmaking is Copic coloring or ink blending backgrounds. You can follow me on Instagram @SandyCogdill or on my blog, www.SandyCogdillDesigns.com I am looking forward to sharing my creativity with you and am so grateful to ScrapbookPal for the wonderful opportunity.
