Hi, my name is Karen. I am 27 years old from Essex in England. I've been married to Martin since September 2005. At the moment I am a stay at home wife.
Hi there! My name is Sue, and I am a fun-loving, scrap-happy citizen of the world, who is thrilled to be part of the Butterfly Crafts Design Team. Buttons, big flowers and bling are a few of my favourite things. After leaving my hometown in Singapore when I was 17, I've lived in and out of boxes in Italy, England, Canada and now calls Norway my home. I love scrapbooking the stories of my life especially the stories of my 4 year old princess. I also love photography, reading, writing and scuba-diving. I can be found most nights at my scrap studio, playing with patterned paper, cutting, fingers covered in glue, and having the time of my life.
I'm Sarah, and I'm 24. I live in the sunny (most of the time) state of California. Currently, I'm a student; after graduating from UC Davis with a double major in Sociology and Psychology, I've decided to go back to school to pursue a career in nursing. Scrapbooking has always been a part of my life since my high school days, but it has recently become an everyday activity (aka. addiction)! On top of being a hobby, it helps me relax and relieve my stress. Besides, the best part about scrapping is there is no right or wrong way to do it, so I can never make a mistake at something I love! If I'm not scrapbooking, I'm probably shopping for scrap supplies or enjoying the fresh air at the beach. I don't have any children, but I have two pets — Maui, a white Miniature Schnauzer, and Hoshi, an orange tabby. If I'm not scrapping my family or my friends, I'm scrapping my "kids".
I am a 35 year old SAHM to two gorgeous boys - Jacob and Caden. Along with DH Brett, we live on Sydney's beautiful Northern Beaches, in Australia !
Hello! I’m Victoria Murray, although no one ever calls me Victoria (except my Mom, when I was four and in trouble!)…so call me Vicki, please! I’ve always been a creative person; I even had my own jewellery studio until my daughter was born. I’ve recently started working part time a jewellery boutique. I live in Toronto with my husband, five year old daughter and our guinea pig.
Hi! My name is Nina and I'm totally psyched to be part of Butterfly Crafts! I'm 30 years old, a stay-at-home to a four-year-old boy and living in the Philippines. I'm into scrapbooking, altered art and stamping. If you want to check out my blog, it's at 
Hi there. My name is Samantha and I own a scrapbook store in the beautiful city of Montreal, Quebec. I've been scrapbooking for over five years and have loved every moment of it. Here in Montreal I have appeared doing workshops on CBC, and Global TV's this morning live and have had my work published in Legacy and Canadian Scrapbooker. I look forward to sharing my work with you and being part of the Butterfly Crafts DT!
I hail from the lovely island of Singapore, and am a full-time working mother of two beautiful girls, who are the subjects featured in most of my layouts and projects. Scrapbooking is a passion with me, as is art and photography, all three of which I think go hand in hand beautifully, as they are all methods of capturing and preserving those special, treasured moments in our lives. While I love creating layouts that showcase my own style, I also love working with sketches, participating in challenges, and trying out new styles and techniques, as I believe these allow me to stretch my boundaries and to grow and evolve in terms of my creativity. I’m really looking forward to joining the Design Team at Butterfly Crafts, and to being inspired to create passionate works of heart through their challenges! My blog address: 
I am Zizi Irena and I come all the way from Brunei. Well, I just started this wonderful hobby since March of this year. Anything art or hand-made has always fascinated me. Scrapbooking has now become my creative outlet, my escape and am enjoying every bit and making great talented friends along the way. Plus, I get to document every precious moment with some gorgeous supplies on earth! I love to experiment with products and techniques. I am a paper hoarder and obviously I love to put layers of pattern papers and chipboards onto my layouts to add dimension. My style varies but I seem to enjoy doing shabby chic look lately. Last but not least, I would like to say huge thanks to Karen for accepting me and I am truly honored to be part of this great team!
