My name is Mary Yontz, aka flutteringby. I am a 5th grade science teacher that truly loves teaching. I also love scrapping, spending time at 2ScrappyChixDesigns , and sharing scrappy ideas with others. I am also the co-founder of ScrapRoomBlueprints.
I live in a very rural community in Southeastern Ohio with my hubby, daughter, four dogs, and two cats. Yes, I realize that is a lot of animals, but I love them all. These are the objects of my affection and the focal points on my pages.
My style varies from project to project. I seem to love it all and each project gives me the opportunity to try new and creative ideas. Hopefully, you will take your shoes off and settle down here at 2ScrappyChixDesigns with me and the rest of the DT.
Joni
"Sponsor Coordinator"
My name is Joni Moore, and I'm excited and honored to be picked for 2SCD's first Design Team. I've been a scrapbooker for over 6 years. I've spent the last couple years mostly swapping cards, but scrapbooking is my first love. I found 2 Scrappy Chix Designs through Mary, flutteringby, a long time friend from the swap board. I've been a member of this site since September 2006, and I love it here! This is the only place I hang out now. I have met so many wonderful ladies through this site whom I now consider my friends. I scrap in all sizes, but my "daily" scrapping size is 8x8. I especially love to make mini-books as vacation or gift albums. I hope you like mini-books too, because I have some fun mini-book classes planned for the next 6 months. I met my husband, Jim, while in college. We were married in 1985 and have two teenagers who are absolutely fantastic kids! We live in Mission Viejo, which is situated in the coastal foothills of Southern California. I am a part-time software engineer, and part-time website designer. My newest endeavor that I took on with Mary is a scrapbook sketch site, ScrapRoomBlueprints.com, where I combined my love of scrapbooking with my software engineering and website design background. Other than scrapbooking I love the beach, gardening, running, cooking, and hanging out with my family.
Kim
"Event Coordinator"
Hi chix! My name is Kim Langston {TexasKim} and I live out in the country near College Station, Texas. I am single with a wonderful man {Edward} in my life. While I don't have any children, I do have a family of pets. I have a cat {Simba} and care for 11 family dogs. But my Yorkie dog {Baby} is the love of my life. I live on the same property as my parents {two miles down the road} and we run our family owned and operated wine distribution business. I am the Office/General Manager.
I have been papercrafting for over 10 years now but more seriously in the past 5 years or so. I introduced my sister {Nikki} to the art and now we are both addicted. Papercrafting rules our world!!! I tend to favor altered projects and mini-albums. I can't say that a specific product is my favorite since I collect them all. Really a supply hoarder! I can say that some of my favorite manufacturers are Autumn Leaves, My Mind's Eye, Crate Paper, Cosmo Cricket, and Bazzill.
I am excited to be part of inaugural 2SCD Design Team. This is my first official Design Team. I welcome the challenge to scrap outside of my comfort zone as well as playing with new products. Thank you for this opportunity!

Hi! I am Michele Brooks and I live in West Virginia. I am a wife and mother to a charming little man. I have been scrapbooking for 5+ years. I love creating original layouts, altering just about anything (especially prima bottles), and hanging out with my chix! I am excited to be a part of this awesome group, and I look forward to getting to know all of you. Some ladies here say I am "chatty" - I have no idea WHAT they are talking about (hehehe). I am really easy going and laid back, I try to approach life with a positive attitude and look for the best in everything.
Angie
"Design Team Member"
My name is Angie Simonet; I reside in Sheboygan,WI with my husband of 3 years. Our son just recently turned one isa true blessing to have. I work full time in the purchasing field but my real passion is scrapbooking! I have been addicted to this hobby for the the last 6 years, although ever since I was old enough to have a camera I loved taking pictures and documenting them! I have shared this love with my friends and family, and have helped them start scrapping their own memories. I hold a monthly crop with friends at my home, where we share ideas, motivation, and support while preserving lifes treasured moments. I don't think I go a day w/o picking up something that is scrapbook related! By scrapping I not only hope to pass on the wonderful memories but an impression of myself as well. I'm very excited to be a part of 2SCD Design Team as this is my second home!
Amber
"Design Team Member"
Hi! My name is Amber Owens. I am a Missourian all the way. I am a happily married stay-at-home Mom of two beautiful children. I have a three-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter. Yes, you read that correctly. They are sixteen months apart and keep me completely CRAZY busy! They do make for great scrap material though. We also have a kitty named Buster & a dog Frodo who also make our home more of a "home." Whenever I do get the time, I love to listen to music, play the piano, read, & just have "down time" with the family. I am such a silly, "hair-is-never-in-place", corny type of girl. Just ask the other chix. Oh yeah. And I tend to get sappy at times about this whole 2SCD camaraderie thing.
I've been scrapbooking for almost four years now. Although hesitant to get into the craft, I finally gave in. I'm glad I did because you'd have to drag me away kickin' and screaming now! Besides, scrapbooking led me to this awesome site. Which, in turn, led me to some of the most amazing friends! 2SCD ROCKS!
I feel so honored to be on the 2 Scrappy Chix Design Team for the Jun./Dec. '07 term. It's gonna be a KILLER six months working alongside the DT & all the chix at this site! I cannot wait to be inspired by all of you! We WILL have fun on this journey! So sit back. Relax. And enjoy the ride!

Hi there! My name is Julie , aka scrappingal and I'm so thrilled to be a part of this fabulous team. I started scrappin 11 years ago when I married my sweetie and desired to preserve our wedding photos. We have an adorable 3 year old daughter Kelsey , a precious 5 year old daughter, Ashley , and a fantastic 8 year old son named A.J. We Pastor a church along the Oregon coast and love being involved in the community. My family continues to be an inspiration for me to further my photography and scrapbooking skills. I LOVE to make great memories with them, create my art, and then watch their cute little faces as they flip through the albums that have recorded those memories!
I'm looking forward to learning with you on this journey together, as well as being an inspiration along the way.
