Hi! My name is Amanda Gibson and I love all things crafty! I am a single girl-but in a relationship with a wonderful man who makes me happier then I ever thought I could be. I work full time as a loan processor at a local mortgage company and I love my job (and I really love the scrapbooking money that I learn while I am working!). I've been scrapbooking for about thirteen years now and I'm totally obsessed! I love the creative outlet that scrapbooking provides; I'm not a great painter, sculptor or writer but I feel like scrapbooking is an art in itself and I love to show how creative I can be on my scrapook layouts. I am mostly and 8 1/2 x 11 scrapbooker, but I also like to throw in a 12 x 12 layout here and there for good measure. I also love making mini books and little presents for friends and neighbors using paper, ribbon and glue. I love to alter just about anything; when I go to the store I'm always trying to figure out how to make things myself or how to make things better by adding paper and modge podge. A few of my other favorite hobbies are decorating, photography and thrift store shopping. I am also planning to learn to sew this year (well, learn to sew better) - so hopefully I'll be able to add that to my list of hobbies really soon!

I really feel that preserving memories is the most important thing about scrpbooking. No matter what you do on your pages, whether it is an extravagant layout or a plain white page with a picture and some journaling, I think that it is so awesome that you are taking the time to preserve your memories. Just think about how much your family will appreciate the gift you are giving them- precious memories.

My name is Nancy Keller and I live in Ammon, Id with my husband and our boys AJ and Josh. I work part time as a nurse at EIRMC and a doctor's office and I try to squeeze in as much paper crafting time as I possibly can in between! I have been scrapbooking for a very long time but my latest passions are stamping and making cards. In the last few years, I have become very passionate about a non-profit organization called Operation Write Home. Every scrapbo of paper and every leftover embellishment that I collect is used tomake cards for our deployed troops to write home with. The thing I love best about Express the Moment is the monthly Expressions card making kits! There is always something new and exciting inside each kit! I also love to make up my own card making tutorials, templates, videos and ideas.
