I am Timi Mercado from the Philippines. I am a college teacher by profession, married to Danny for 14 years and a mom to Jigs and Dannah. I'm also five months on the family way. I started scrapbooking in the year 2000 so that makes it 10 years and still counting. I completed my first scrapbook in Feb 2000. It was not as good as my scrapbooks now, very crude shall I say but it paved the way to my journey to the world of scrapbooking! But it was only in 2003 that I discovered that there were materials really intended for this craft and only in 2006 that I began to make 12x12 LOs using all those acid-free stuff.
When I started scrapbooking, it was just a hobby. Now, it's a passion and a way of life. There are many reasons why I love to CREATE: to preserve wonderful memories of myself and the persons important to me; my scrapbooks will be my legacy to the future generations of my family; it also sees me through during not so good times. Just seeing what I have accomplished in the past nine years is enough to take away the blues and all those stresses; and it is a way of expressing myself.
I am currently designing for two challenge blogs - Dotty Divas and Scrap Inspire Create. It's an honor for me to be a Guest Designer here at Coordinates Collection.

Hi...my name is Jen Dubbs and
I live in a small southern New Jersey community just outside
of
Ocean City. I've been happily married for over 15
years and have two children. (an 11yr old son and soon to be
8 yr old daughter) As you will see, my family is the main
focus of my scrapping.
I've always been a creative person, dabbling in many
different things (taking every possible art class I could
fit into my HS & college schedules). When I found
scrapbooking after the birth of my son I was instantly
hooked. As well as giving me a creative outlet I also find
it very therapeutic. (I work full-time and spending a little
"me time" scrapping is away for me to recharge my batteries
and keep me sane.)
I started out "lurking" here at Coordinates Collections
almost from the beginning, I was soon subscribing to kits
and hanging out on the message board and then in 2006 I was
asked to join the Design Team. I was thrilled and
honored...CC is my scrapping home! I love the connections
I've made here with the members and I'm very grateful that
some of these connections have turned into true friendships.
Here's to many more years of creating and inspiring each
other.

My name is Kimberly Madrid and I live in Fort Worth, Texas. I'm married to Richard, the best man on the planet, who encourages me daily. I have four children, who are my biggest inspiration and the subject of most of my work. I have been a SAHM since December 2006. I owe all things good in my life to God, and I hope to express that influence in my work and life.
I have been scrapping in some form or another since I was a little girl, when would make "wish books" full of all the things I wanted to get for Christmas. Sometimes those books were a bit ... uh ... long. These days I mostly scrap my kids and family. I don't scrap chronologically. I often scrap the same photo several times. And, I love trying out new styles, new techniques, and new ways to embellish my pages.
I've been enjoying Coordinates Collections kits for quite a while, and I'm always impressed with how well they are put together, and how many projects you can make from just one kit. Plus, the gals on the message board feel like family to me. I am honored to be a part of the Coordinates Collections team. It feels like home!

Hi, my name is Marielle Leblanc (Marilou64 on the boards) , I live in Dieppe, New Brunswick with my husband of 7 years and our 2 great little guys. Gabriel is 6 and Felix is 4, you see them often on my layouts ! I work part time as a recovery room nurse.
I have always been a crafty person but really got addicted to scrapbooking after the birth of Gabriel in 2002. I love the "me" time it creates and I love the beautiful things I can create with my hands, imagination and gorgeous papers!
I have been lucky enough to have been published in magazines like Canadian Scrapbooker, Canadian Scrapbooker Basics (volume 1) and Scrapbooks and cards today.
I'm so happy to have been chosen as a guest designer for Coordinates Collections for the month of March. I find CC to be such a friendly place to find inspiration and to have fun and the kits and supplies in the store are awesome. I'm so looking forward to being a part of this little "family" during March.

Hi, my name is Lindsay Gannon and I live in Maryland - I am an hour from DC, Baltimore, and Virginia! I am a SAHM to three fun-loving and energetic kids; Patrick is 4, and Michael and Avery are 22 months old. I have been married to my best friend, Matt for almost 7 years. I am a teacher by trade and taught for 9 years prior to the twins being born. When I am not scrapping I love to cook, hang out with friends and family, shop, and read. I have been scrapping all of my life - it began with a scrapbook my grandmother kept in her kitchen cupboard filled with funny magazine clippings. I loved sitting with her and going through the album and family pictures. I began scrapping seriously two years ago and have been obsessed ever since! I see each LO as a treasure tucked away for my children to enjoy for the rest of their lives. I love ALL scrappy goodies but my favorites are patterned paper, baker's twine, RIBBON!, buttons, and Thickers. My style is always evolving - I love trying new things and am inspired by everything around me!
