Hi, I'm Mara-May. I'm 26 years young and live in Central California with my Husband Tim and my 2 adorable little boys Timmy and Ayden. I'm an amateur photographer trying to learn the ropes. :) When I'm not snapping photos you'll probably catch me scrapbooking. I have been scrapbooking since 2004 when I discovered patterned paper at Wal-Mart. Boy, those were the days. Look how far we've come! HaHaHa I've always been a crafty kind of girl making sticker albums and pop-up cards for everyone's birthdays as a young child. So naturally as an adult I am now an overly obsessed scrapbooker! :) I don't have a favorite subject so I just scrapbook whatever picture speaks to me. So you may see multiple layouts of the same photo. That's just how I roll. HaHa. Other than scrapbooking I love to go to the movies with my son or a girlfriend, eat ice-cream (everyday), rollerblade or just be with family hanging out.

Hi! I'm Holly...30 year old military wife, and mother of two little
ones. Due to the nature of my husband's job, we move around a lot!
But, we currently call North Carolina home. I actually love the
military life. It has (and will always) give me opportunities to see
and experience parts of the world that I otherwise wouldn't be able
to. And, of course, that makes for some great scrapbooking material,
right? I never really know how to answer when people ask where I'm
from, though. I grew up in Texas, spent several years in Alaska, and
lived in Seattle while I pursued my degree in commercial photography
from The Art Institute of Seattle. There were lots of other little
stops along the way.
I started scrapbooking about 2 years ago, after I had spent several
years in the rubberstamping hobby. Scrapbooking was just a natural
transition for me. A little slow at first, but since my husband's
current deployment, I scrapbook every chance I get. It's how I keep
my sanity! And, of course, I'm completely addicted!
When I'm not putting glue to paper, I'm chasing my two little ones
(Luka, 1 and Hazel, 4)around with a camera. I've also been known to
cook or garden when I find the time. Many hours of this deployment
have been spent remodeling my house. I constantly have to keep myself
busy, and always seem to be in the middle of some project or another.
And, I'm so excited to be adding some Label Tulip goodness to that
mix!

Hi! I’m Anabelle O’Malley! I live in Delaware with my husbandand
our six year old son, Ryan.
I taught elementary school (mostly first grade) for sixteen years before Ryan came along. Since then, I’ve been home with him and have worked part time at our local university.
I’ve been scrapping for the past five years and have loved every minute of it. It truly is my creative outlet. As a child I would spend hours drawing and making cards for people, so this is just a natural extension of my love for all things paper. Along with creating layouts, I still love card making and trying out new techniques. I wake up every morning and spend a couple of hours in my scraproom before everyone else is up. It’s my ‘me’ time. So, if you see forum threads from me that were posted at 5:00 am, you’ll know why!
When I’m not in my scraproom I can be found relaxing with my family, hanging out online, cooking, reading or hitting the gym. I hate housework, so every once in a while I have to force myself to do that, too!
My inspiration comes from lots of places, but the supplies and products really guide me. I love taking photos and finding just the right paper and embellishments for them is always a fun challenge. I love the Label Tulip kits and can’t wait to create with them each month! I’m so excited to be part of this team and can’t wait to see what each month brings!

Hi I'm Charity! I am 33 years old. I have been married to my honey, Brian, for 6 years. We have a 4 year old named Alexander and Audrey Marie who is almost 2. I work one shift a week as a RN in a local hospital's intensive care unit. The rest of my days are spent making sippy cups, playing playdough and trying to scrap during naptimes! One of my favorite things on the planet is chocolate covered popcorn (I/m a chocoholic)! I have been scrapbooking for nearly 6 years now, but became "serious" about it around 4 years ago. My style varies, but I pride myself on using product in unique ways. I love making cards, altering things and creating mini albums. Inspiration comes to me from the covers of music and books, fashion, and online galleries. It has been so fun to design for some great teams and to see my work published. I am so excited to be a part of the fabulous Label Tulip team!

Well hello there. My name is Christina, though some people know me as the girl who likes coffee way too much. I have always loved to play with photographs, collage, paper and paint. In high school I doodled on all of my book covers and spent many hours creating 'zines and working on the school newspaper. After my first big vacation after graduation (a trip to New York) I made my first scrapbook using photos, magazine pages and trip memorabilia. My only adhesive was scotch tape. I really loved the process as much as the end result. So, I was absolutely ecstatic when I found out later that there was a whole hobby (with associated tools and pretty papers) just waiting for me to play with. I have been a part of the scrapping community for about two years now. I love the connections and the friends I have made and I love being able to make things and be creative in such a personal way. I feel that creating is a journey, and I think that there is not anything that I would not try, crafting-wise. Besides scrapping and playing with mixed media projects, I love photography and have recently become an avid camera collector. I live in Seattle (land of coffee) and work for Starbucks (are you seeing a trend here?). I also have a cute boyfriend who has been with me for almost ten years. I am so delighted to be a part of Label Tulip!

Hello, my name is Danielle, although you may have seen me around by the name of Dani! I am a resident of upstate N.Y. now, but grew up in South Dakota...still very much a midwest girl at heart. My hubby and I have been married for 10 years and have 2 girls, ages 9 and 3, so unfortunately for him, we love all things girly in our house.. hee! I began scrapbooking when my first daughter was born to create a baby book for her, however I've always been into art - drawing, painting and recently I learned to quilt. I'd say my style is very feminine and soft. I love to "think outside of the box" with the products. I can't get enough of ribbon, buttons, chipboard, rub ons...heck, I'm addicted to it all! I create for: Pink Paislee, Dream Street and Melissa Frances and am so honored to be asked to be a part of Label Tulip!

husband. He walks to work at his law firm just a few blocks away and
I walk a few blocks further to my theatre company, where I'm the
Artistic Director. I go by "milk can" on most message boards because
that's the name of my company: The Milk Can Theatre Company.
I'm an enormous fan of New York City and most of my pages reflect that
love. I tend to focus on the every day with pages that lean towards
heavy journaling and lots of paint! I love art that looks handmade -
lots of tearing and inking and handwriting and hand cutting. I'm also
a technique and tool junkie, always trying to find a way to push my
supplies further and see all the possibilities. And I'm
multi-scraptual; scrapping digi, traditional and hybrid.
Beyond scrapbooking, I'm a general craft-a-holic. I've dabbled in
everything from polymer clay to cross stitch to paper making. But the
two other great crafty loves of mine are art quilts and jewelry. And
I like to combine all three of my favorite methods of expression into
mixed media creations!
I am so honored to be a part of the amazing Label Tulip team.

Hi! I'm Leslie Ashe & I live in Fort Worth, Texas with my handsome hubby Alan. We have two super cute & SWEET teenagers Savannah & Shaypher. I feel so lucky to be blessed with my family. They are my biggest supporters & fans of what I do. Not to mention my main subjects :) I couldn't ask for anything more!
We also have 4 small fur-kids who seem to think they are human too. Ok I'll admit it, we LET them think that ;)
I've been a scrapbooker for about 12 years now. It's easy for me to say I'm totally addicted. BUT if you were to ask me my style I'd have to say I don't really think I have one. I like to do a little bit of whatever I want with a dose of sass & fun. I don't follow any rules of scrapbooking...I just scrap the moment! Mixing bright colors and patterns are what make me - me.
I make the biggest mess when I'm scrapbooking - but that's what it's all about, right?
When I'm not scrapping - you can find me hanging out with my family, watching must see tv, or curled up with a good book. I can't tell you how honored i am to be a designer for Label Tulip! I'm so excited to create with these gorgeous kits!
