I am married to an amazing husband, with two beautiful and talented kids.
I am an interior designer by trade but I love to craft. I ventured into papercrafting (and stamping) 2 years ago and got immediately hooked. I love making cards but I also love creating 3D projects and scrapbooking. Blog: Maria Russell Designs |

I’m an Airforce wife to my husband of 14 years, Chad. I have 2 kiddos, Emily 12 and Sam 3.
Before we had our children, I was an elementary school teacher. Now I have the privilege of teaching my daughter at home. I have been crafting in one form or another for about 15 years. I started out with traditional scrapbooking and now I do more card making and pocket scrapbooking. I’m thrilled to be part of the Kat Scrappiness team! Blog: INKohouts Design |

I am a mother of two grown boys. I have always loved crafting, as long as I can remember. I love spending all my spare time in my craft room (my little heaven) There are not many crafts that I haven’t tried. I love doing anything with my hands.
Art journaling and card making is my new favourite at this time. I also love making new crafty friends and learning new techniques. |
Taniesa Vlasak

Hi! My name is Taniesa Vlasak and I have been papercrafting since I was a little girl. What began as a sticker, stamp, and stationery obsession at just 7 years old grew into a love of scrapbooking, art journaling, cardmaking and other papercrafting fun! There is nothing like playing with new art supplies and I get so excited now as I did back then.We have recently moved from California to Washington state and with the wetter weather outside is the perfect excuse for more crafty time inside!
I am incredibly blessed to be designing for Kat Scrappiness! Blog: The Crafty Pickle Instagram: Taniesa |

Hi, I’m Katty. I am originally from Cuba but have lived in Miami, FL most of my life. I am a mom of two beautiful boys. I love spending time with my family. Besides Scrapbooking and Crafting, I also love to travel.
I was introduced to scrapbooking when I was in high school. A friend started a scrapbooking club and I was immediately hooked. Since then, I have tried all types of crafts and I truly enjoy them all. I look forward to working with the Kat Scrappiness Team and sharing my work with you all. |

Hello. I was born and raised in western Michigan and now live in Ohio. Growing up, my parents owned a flower shop. I worked there till after I graduated high school and moved away. I continued in the floral industry until we started a family. I Guess you’d say my crafting ability and style came from years in that industry.
I am married to a wonderful man and we have three children. Two are married and we love their spouses as our own! We have three grand daughters and one grand son, all under 5! I have been the care giver to three of them so their mommies can work. At present, I’m caring for my 5 year old grandson and 6 month old grand daughter. I am beyond blessed! As far as crafting goes I’d say my style strengths would be in an eye for color and in florals, obviously from floral designing background. I enjoy playing around with techniques and trying new things. My cards probably tend to be more on the simple side. Not a lot of fuss, keeping pretty much a single focal image and a sentiment. However, I do very much love stamping out my own background papers. I’d say for me, when I wanna relax, I head into my craft room and get out my toys! |
Angeline Choo

Hi! I’m Angeline. Just a few years ago, I knew absolutely nothing about crafting. And so fate has it that I wanted to make an album and bought my first scrapbook mini album kit. Soon, I was buying tons of scrappy stuff, watching countless crafty videos and reading lots of craft magazines! Now, I love making cards, mini albums, having fun in my planner and trying out new things.

Hi! I’m Deb Rauch. I am a retired nurse, mother of two grown boys, and have been married to my best friend for 33 years.
My grand mom taught me to sew when I was 8 years old on her old treadle sewing machine. Throughout the years, I’ve continued to sew and got into other types of crafting. About 15 years ago, I got hooked on scrapbooking, and about two years ago cardmaking. |
