Well hello! I’m Adriane Richardson, and I’m addicted to digital scrapbooking! I’m a SAHM to the cutest boy in the world, and wife to the handsomest man. I was born and raised in Utah, and it looks like I’ll be here a while–which is great, because it’s a wonderful place to live. In my spare time (HA! Who has any of THAT nowadays?) I LOVE to design digi-scrapping stuff, read books, play World of Warcraft with my husband, and hang out with the Sunshine Girls! Oh, and in case you were wondering–I do not support piracy! (I just thought this girl was a cutie.)

Hi! I’m Allie, but I use the design name lliella. I’m a 32 year old mom of a year-old little boy. I work at a glass company with my husband of 5 years. I have always loved creating stuff, from painting to cross-stitching to creating virtual outfits for EA Games’ The Sims 2. I discovered digiscraping shortly after my son was born and I love it! It’s a challenge and I love learning new things in photoshop with every kit I make. I have a lot of freebies on my blog, so come visit me sometime!

Hiya! My name is Amanda Kay and I’m 23 years old. I’m married to my best friend, Justin, and we live in east Texas! We just moved here from Mississippi and we are absolutely loving it!! When I’m not spending time with Justin or our friends you can always find me on my laptop! I started paper scrapping when I was about 16, then found digital scrapping last Fall. Since it involved computers I was hooked instantly! While searching for freebies I found Ellie and joined her for a freebie collab with the rest of the girls, thus the Sunshine Girls. I can’t wait for the next adventure with these wonderful ladies! Please come visit me on my blog!

Hi, I’m Amy Brever. I am a SAHM (sort of, I have my hand in too many cookie jars). My husband, Barrett and I, currently live in Washington State, where Barrett is stationed with the United States Army. We are the proud parents of 2 sons and 1 daughter, Mackenzie, Xander, and Matney. I am somewhat new to the digi community. I am learning so much from my friend Lauren and the Sunshine Girls! With our adventures at the blog and CafePress Store, Lauren and I have a blast!! Can’t wait to see where this adventure takes us all!

Hi, my name is Ellie Lash! I am a 34 year old stay-at-home-mom to 18 month old twin boys and wife to my best friend, Chris. I was born and raised in Hawaii, but am currently living very happily in Arizona. I love spending time with my family, I always have the most fun with them! But when I do have a moment to myself (not often these days) I can almost definitely be found reading. I love a good book! I discovered digital scrapbooking about 9 months ago and have been in love with it ever since. You can find more of my designs at my shop Ellie Lash Designs and don’t forget to stop by my blog for freebies, announcements, and more!

Hello! I’m Franziska. I’m 28 years old and I’m a SAHM to my lovely daughter Charlotte. Recently I finished my academic studies, and now I’m “Diplom Ingenieur für Landschaftsarchitektur” (there is no similar term in English, but it’s comparable to a master in landscape architecture), although it took me one year more at the university! Now I’m looking for a job. I’ve been into digi-scrapping for one year now, since I feel like I need to quickly scrap all my beautiful memories. I discovered the international digi world about a half year ago, and I’m learning to communicate in English ever since. Want to know some more, come take a peek at my blog.

Hi! My name is Kristi Duncan. I’m a 40 year old SAHM to 2 wonderful children. My home is in the country in Northern California! We are surrounded by vineyards and beautiful mountains. I have been married to the same man for 16 years this June and we’ve been together for 23 years and we still have that spark! We are real estate investors, but I have found my love for designing in the last couple of years. I used to paper scrap, but one day found the wonderful world of digital scrapbooking and won’t EVER go back! I have just recently opened up my new store, Web Designz by Kristi, so come take a peek!

Hello, I’m Lauren Faczan. I am southern girl of Tennessee. My husband, Ben and I, currently live in Kentucky, where Ben is stationed with the United States Army. We have two daughters, Ashley and Danielle. I have several years of experience with digital design but seem to learn something new every day! I opened a CafePress store called The Polka Dot Plum in March 2007 with my friend Amy Brever. We also have a Polka Dot Plum blog. Be sure to drop by and check out our freebies!

Hi I am Megan or Megs, but most people know me as Flergs. I am a hairdresser by day and designer by night. I have been married for 10 years and have 2 gorgeous children, Deacon 5 & Kaylee-Jayde 2. I was a paper scrapper for 4 years, and I never liked the look of ‘original’ digital scrapbooking until a friend showed me how much it had evolved. I was instantly hooked and would never go back to paper scrapping again! I have been 100% digital since June 2006. I started off designing a few little freebies on my blog and now I am honoured to be a Studio Girl at Scrapbook Graphics! I rarely get a chance to scrap anymore because I am too busy designing!

Hi! My name is Michelle Idzi aka IdziBitsy Designs. I am a 30 year old SAHM of two rambunctious toddlers. Although we are moving to Berrien County, MI, I am currently in Dallas, TX and will always be a Texan at heart (even though it took me 25 years to get here!) After the birth of my second child, I noticed that many events in our lives were hard to paper scrap because I could not find the left elements (crawfish boil anyone?) I started searching for digital and got hooked on hybrid scrapping. Although I love digital and design, there is something about mess that keeps me coming back to paper. While searching for items for my scrapbooks, I found the Sunshine Girls, and the rest is history!!

Hi! I’m Monica Guerra Leiria a/k/a mgl Scraps. I’m a 28 year old mom of two boys aged 10 and 1, I am one of the most fortunate people I know when it comes to family and friends. I honestly can’t imagine my life without the love and support I have always had surrounding me. I have been married for 10 years to a man who shares my passion of Marillion (our favourite band, and the band that inspired my nick - Jester’s Tear), computers and photography. I’m a Portuguese graphic designer with an avid passion for photography, something that I hope to one day convert into my full time job. Come over and visit me at my blog anytime.

Hello! My name is Nicole Seitler. I’m a 32 year-old stay-at-home wife and mother to two beautiful children. I’m originally from Florida, but now I live with my family in beautiful Lancaster County, PA. I’m an internet geek and can be found taking on way too many projects then I really have time for… but my life is a blast! I love it this way. I started my own digi-shop, Sugarplum Paperie, in November of 2007, on Digital Scrapbooking Day. Not to long after that, I met Ellie and the other girls as we began this group of Sunshine-y Friends. It’s one of the best things to happen to me! Be sure to visit me at my blog for some fun and lots of freebies!

Aloha! My name is Shauna Burke-Smith and I am a (dare I speak it out loud?) 38 year old proud Army wife and even prouder mother of 3. DD Brittany is 15 going on 35, DD Emily is 13 and (thank the Lord) still a bit of a tomboy, and DS Ethan is an 8 year old blond hair, blue eyed ball of energy! We are currently living in Hawaii on the island of Oahu but in the process of selling our home and moving to New Jersey! I began digi scrapping last October and designing shortly thereafter! My days (for now anyway) are spent designing and my evenings are spent at my favorite nearby beach, Ko’Olina, where DH and I go nearly every day to hang out, catch up, relax and watch the sunset for the short time between him coming home from work and the craziness of dinner, dishes, homework, baths and bedtimes! I love love love being the newest Sunshine Designer and I can’t wait to share my stuff with you all! Please visit me on my blog where I love to spend time posting layouts, sharing stories and most of all giving away nearly daily freebies!!

Hello! My name is Shawn (yes, I’m a girl…LOL). I am a 34 year old SAHM to 2 wonderful children, Lucas (4) and Sasha (14 months.) We live in the great state of Michigan where I was born and raised. I lived in MI for the first 18 years of my life before I started moving around. I guess you could say I was sort of a gypsy. In a good way though. I had a job that required me to move so I lived in 5 states in 10 years (MI, OH, IN, KY, PA). We just moved back to MI and are so excited to be close to family again. I paper scrapped for about a year before I found digiscrapping. Once I found it, I never looked back! I’ve been doing it for about 1.5 years now. I only find the time to do it after the kids are in bed and sometimes after my DH is asleep as well. I’ve gotten many people hooked on digiscrapping. I mean, how can you beat the “no mess” factor of it or being able to use the “perfect” paper 1,000 times and only pay for it once! I am so proud to be a Sunshine Girl. It has been the best thing to happen to me digiscrap wise. This is a dream come true. I started out with my blog where I make freebie Quick Pages. I slowly found that I had the hunger to DESIGN instead of using other peoples work so that’s what my passion is now. I hope you all enjoy coming to this blog to see the awesome, creative things we have for you. MUAH!

Everybody knows me as Moon Scraps, my real name is Vasco Leiria. I’m a 36 years old computer tech support guy, I help people understand computers most of the time. Scrapping is something new to me, and so is designing. I found a growing interest in both that I didn’t know I had; the biggest motivation in scrapping for me is being able to make my photos look even better. I chose my nick because I wanted to be the Moon to the Sunshine Girls’ Sun. One of my favourite hobbies is Pen & Paper RPG, Werewolf: the Apocalypse being my favourite setting. I also love music (can’t live without it), I listen to my iPod every day when traveling to and from work. I also enjoy computer games, my current addiction being WoW. Come visit me at my blog to see some of my layouts and freebies.
