Susan Hamilton
Hi I'm Sue from Victoria. I've been scrapbooking for ten years now. Since our youngest son, Harry was a baby. It started with baby books and then a visit to my first scrapbooking store and I was hooked. It's my time out and truly soothes my soul. My three children, Callum, Daisy and young Harry are the people I scrapbook the most. I also scrapbook extended family and friends, everyday moments, milestones and just for fun. My style is playful, I love ephemera and texture. I love trying anything new. From time to time I like to do off the page projects and art journaling too. I’m so happy to be a part of the Helmar creative team.

Jean Marmo
HI! My name is Jean and I live just outside of Grand Rapids, MI. I have a twin sister and for the majority of our lives, I was the math and science one. I stayed far away from anything that involved art or being creative. Once I had children, I started scrapbooking. This was back in the days of colored cardstock and deco scissors. Two things last year brought me to where I am today. I unexpectedly lost my job and my second child was married. With both children grown and out of the house, there was only so much I could scrap. And yet, I had a room full of paper, stamps, ribbons etc. Last year I took an art class and am now using those supplies along with paints and pastes to create mixed media canvases, mini albums, and frames. Most days you will find me experimenting and learning and I look forward to having you join me on this journey. I am excited to be showcasing Helmar products!

Tamiko McCurry
Hi I am Tamiko, single mom, one beautiful daughter. I am paper crafter first and foremost! I believe all things are possible with paper and good scissors. Add quality adhesive and things to write, draw and/or color with and BOOYAH... We are having ourselves nothing but pure JOY and EXCITEMENT and EVERYDAY can be a HOLIDAY! (ha-ha). I do a little bit of everything (smile), although my concentration as of lately has been towards, mixed media, art journaling. I am a practicing social media junky.. if there is an app. out there.. I've heard of it.. possibly used it or have had an account for it. I believe #sharingiscaring and some folks get the best learning experiences from some of the things. One can easily become an educated consumer with few inquisitive search clicks from pinterest, facebook, twitter, instagram, tumblr and bloglovin.

Jeanne Rodriguez
Hi! My name is Jeanne C. Rodriguez , I live in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Many people know our town as the place where the 1st Atomic Bomb was made. It’s a very nice place to raise a family. I have been married 14yrs but together almost 20yrs. I am a mother of 4 children and a 4yr. Old grandson, my older 2 of whom I had with my high school sweetheart, he was killed by a drunk driver. Although we weren’t together at that time, it changed my life. I fell into a deep depression where I could no longer work my job in Forensics. So 3yrs ago in April I needed some kind of outlet to deal with depression and other health issues. That’s how I found this world of crafting. I enjoy everything from altering, card making, mini albums, & recently started in mixed media. It’s helped me a lot. I’m extremely grateful and excited to have been chosen to be a part of the Helmer Creative Team! Can’t wait to share all my ideas with you all! Xoxo

Lisa Skinner
Hi I am Lisa, I’m from Victoria. I am a forty something wife & a Mum to 2 teenagers. I work part time and love to spend what I can of my free time paper crafting. I started scrapbooking when my daughter was about one (she is nearly 19!) My style has certainly changed over the years. I am mostly a traditional 12x12 scrap booker but I also do some project life, card making, journaling & pretty much like to try my hand at everything. Most would describe my design style as clean & neat or pretty. I love embellishment clusters & layering - I do like to mix it up & get messy occasionally too. I am looking forward to being a part of the Helmar Creative team & hope to bring you some inspiration. I am very active on Instagram you can find me here: https://www.instagram.com/lisa_skinner_/
