Michelle Powell: Owner/Designer
When I moved to Idaho 3 years ago, little did I know that I would begin a career in digital scrapbook design.
I found digital scrapbooking while looking online for scrapbook stores that could ship paper scrapbooking supplies to me because we didn't have a scrapbook store in the little town I moved to. I started downloading freebies and using them to learn how to create layouts on my computer for my Honeymoon scrapbook I wanted to create. Once I started seeing everything out there I started realizing that I could create them on my own. I began playing around, and created a kit that was inspired by the colors in my cruise photos. Next thing I knew, I had sites asking me to design for them. My first gig was at Deco-Pages in Oct '06. I then moved to Divine Digital in April '07, and shortly after that I started up Kutnkudlys Kreations, a site geared to beginning designers who wanted to get their feet wet, learn how to set up products, use FTP etc. As that started to grow, I learned about Carol Abrams wanting to sell Scraphead, and I couldn't resist!
I thoroughly enjoy bringing joy to people who are preserving their special memories.
I live in Idaho with my wonderful husband, 2 border collies and 1 cat. I'm a work at home wife and love it!
Please enjoy your stay here at Scraphead, and if there is anything we can do for you, please do not hesitate to contact us!

I am 58 years old (in Oct) and a stay at home wife as my health is not the best. Mother to 5 grown children of my own and 2 grown step children from a previous marriage and 2 grown step children from this marriage, grandmother to over 20 grand babies. Am also great grandma to Merrick who was born this January.
I am originally from Canada but am married to an American and we just moved down to Georgia this August after living in NY for 10 years.
I have always loved to create be it on canvas or paper and when I discovered digital scap booking about 5 or more years ago, I thought I can do that and did so for my own use. I started designing in earnest and after 3 years of giving my products away I began selling them at a shop online. My style is different I am told. I do love the Victorian era and the colors and materials used from that era. I love ribbons and bows, glitter and gems, lots of lace and the color pink. You will find many of my products follow along those lines. I hope that what I have to offer will please customers. |

I was an avid scrapbook-hater until a little over 2 years ago when a friend mentioned making scrapbook pages on a computer. I went straight home and Googled it and there has been no looking back. I love taking my photos and turning them into works of art. Colorful pages are my favorite! Then after spending days and hours putting together a vacation album for my family I thought, "Gee, I should share this with the world!" And that's how I started creating templates. I want people to be able to make great pages they love without having to go through all the stress and planning!
When I'm not scrapbooking I'm running after my 2 kids and my husband. We are a Navy family, therefore have no permanent home. We love traveling and spending time together!

Tabby Lewis
My name is Tabitha (Tabby) Lewis and I've been a digital scrapbooker for 1 1/2 years. I found digital scrapbooking while searching through Google for craft ideas. I remember seeing everyone's layouts and thinking how pretty they were and how real they looked.
So after alot of freebies and tutorials, and of course, learning the program Paint Shop Pro (now using Photoshop), I did it, my first layout. I loved the whole process of creating it, I found it very relaxing and ever since then I haven't stopped. Soon after, I started designing and I mostly made stuff for myself and giving them as freebies. It made me so happy to make others happy, just that feeling alone made it worthwhile.
Both scrapping and designing have since become my favorite hobbies. Also since designing I've come across some great opportunities that I would have never seen myself doing before. One opportunity was for my husband's job, which was at a flight school, I got the chance to make flyers, brochures, and the best one of all was designing the graphics for an exibition stand, which was for heli expo. That was such an honor to be able to do.

Bridget Richard - Designs by Bridget
My name is Bridget Richard. I live in Louisiana and am a mother of two wild boys who light up my life. I teach junior high and high school math at a small private school near our home. As a mother, I have always wanted to scrap our memories but as a mother of two boys, paper scrapping was near impossible. Sometimes I would have to leave the scrapping table for a simple second only to find my VERY expensive alpha stickers decorating my oldest child's shirt and arms. Finally I gave up and decided scrapping wasn't for me until.....right before my second son was born I joined a group of mommies all due about the same time and one of us scrapped digitally. I was hooked IMMEDIATELY!!!
I began scrapping in late June 06 during 3 a.m. feedings and any other time I had a chance! Scrapping is still my first love although designing comes in a close second. I'm excited to be a designer here at Scraphead.

I have been a creative person for as long as I can remember. I am a traditional and digital artist with a passion for color and texture. You will find some of my traditional art treasures hidden among my kits - maybe a hand painted butterfly, a pencil drawing turned into a stamp, or a watercolor paper; you never know what you might find among my work. I have been working with digital programs for about 7 years and still find it to be just as exciting as it was in the beginning! I use Paint Shop Pro X2, Corel Painter X, PSE 4 & 6, Daz Studio, Bryce, and traditional art tools, my camera is also a great resource for me! I spent most of my working life as a floral designer, though I also worked as a graphic designer but found myself unwilling to submit to the demands of the corporate world. I studied graphic Design in the late 80's before computers were involved in everyday design work, but am primarily self taught reguarding the traditional art and digital medias I use now. Thank you for taking the time to look at my products. Cindy Ritter |

I began paper scrapping when my first child was born 3 years ago. I loved going to the local scrapbook store with a friend for a girls' night crop and enjoying the creative process. As my son became more mobile, I found it more and more difficult to pull the scrapbook supplies out at home. I've always felt comfortable with computers and once I realized that I could scrap digitally, I was hooked! I love being able to scrap without the mess and clutter. I've found that I'm able to scrap much more often, too, since I don't have to wait for a girls' night out to do it.
My favorite products include boy kits in deep blues and browns, wrapped ribbons and frames. I enjoy trying different scrapping styles but for the most part, I'm a clean and simple girl.
I joined the Scraphead creative team in June 2006 and now I'm thrilled to offer quick pages based on the designs of the amazing artists here. Quick pages are a great way for scrappers of all levels to try new styles, put together a quick gift or just get caught up on the gigabytes of photos that have yet to be scrapped!

I am 35 years old, living in Paris and I have 1 little boy named Nathan.
Creating has always been a part of me. Ten years ago as I was hired as an advertising assistant I started playing with Photoshop. Soon I was buying my first iMac and was starting to create things with this wonderful software. Next I began mixing my own sketches and digital effects.
Years later, I gave birth to my son and began with traditional scrapping. I would say I prefer digital scrapping as I can scrap whenever I want. There is no need to tidy the room and it's much safer when you have a little mosquito jumping around and touching everything...
I love creating and would never live without creating. My favourite subject is (of course) scrapping my son's photos. My style is depending on my mood. My pages can be very very full or just simple.
I am very delighted to join the Scraphead team and hope you enjoy my designs.

Hi, I am Snowraven
I discovered the digital side of scrapbooking in January 2007. Until then I was getting our home messy with glue and paper bits all over the place. I used to make cards and obviously the good old big scrapbooks.
I soon became completely addicted, and as the papers cost a lot of money, I thought I would design my own and print them. I purchased PSP XI at the end of April 07 and started to experiment. In May I then started a blog and gave my designs away as freebies. I also joined a scrapping club and was soon asked if I wanted to design freebie kits for the club-I agreed. Since then I have learned a lot and towards end of 2007 I was approached by Michelle, asking if I would be interested in joining her designer team. I then started my own store in January 08. Now I work with several other programs as well, like PS, Corel Paint, DAZ 3D and Poser, and combine designs from all of them in my kits.
Being an old Goth, I think I have developed my own style, which is often with darker jewel colours and a lot of texture. Although I always try to be as versatile as possible with my designs, and experiment with new techniques, a certain amount of my "darker side" always seems to come through. I am a huge fantasy/horror fan, of pagan faith, a book-worm, work full-time for the local council ,I am married and have a 16 year old son.
My other passion in life is music, and I love going to metal concerts and festivals.
