A Message from Krystal
Hi! My name is Krystal Idunate. I am 32 and I live in Michigan with my husband, our two kids, and our two cats. My absolute favorite type of scrapbooking is the hybrid approach… but really, I dabble in all the styles. While my memory keeping style is ever evolving… what remains the same is my love and passion for storytelling and documenting our lives. I truly believe there is a power in telling our stories and leaving behind our love and memories as our legacy. I hope we can connect and share our stories together.

A Message from Misty
Hello all. I’m going to make a confession. I am a craft dabbler. I have cross stitched, needle felted, crocheted, made jewelry, and much more. With all that I have tried, my true addiction is paper. Card making and scrapbooking have been my mainstays for almost 25 years.
While I am a continual experimenter, watercoloring has been something I keep returning to. Now, being a dabbler means I am not an expert in painting by any means. But I’m always open to learning new things and sharing what I have learned. I’ve shared my crafts through blogs, teaching kids classes, guest designer spots and currently running a YouTube channel. I’m very glad to be here to share a playful attitude toward adding watercolor elements to your scrapbooking.
When I’m not crafting, I’m a wife of 26 years, a chicken raiser, a wannabe gardener, a drinker of too many mochas, and a cat snuggler. But most importantly, I am a homeschool mom who has just a few years left before “retiring”. Two of my kids are now young adults and my last one is a teen who recently reminded me that driving is just over a year in her future. That will be a scrapbook layout guaranteed.
If you want to see that layout someday, you can follow my social feeds.
Alice Boll
CLASS: Journaling Is Fun… or it CAN be!
Are you ready to add some fun into your scrapbook pages? How about journaling? Did you know that journaling can be fun too? Alice will share practical tips to help you tell your stories and love the process!
An Introduction to Alice
Scrapbooking has been my passion since 1999 and I want to make sure you have all the support, tips, tricks and tools you need to have an outstanding experience.
I live in rural Alberta, Canada with my husband and a flock of chickens. I have two grown sons… one helps with tech stuff and the other is handy with heavy lifting. 😉
Scrapbooking is always more fun with friends, which is just one of the reasons I enjoy leading the ScrapHappy membership so much! (Plus I get to call scrapbooking my job and that’s just awesome!)
