Aja, Designer
I’m a stay at home mom to three energetic preschoolers who make me laugh. I’m married to my high school sweetheart and I love him even more today than when we got married. I’m a lover of God. I love doing anything creative. I’ve paper scrapped, I’ve had my own handbag business, I’ve been a graphic designer, computer programmer, English teacher, photographer and gymnastics coach. I found digiscrapping almost three years ago, right after Scrapartist opened. I feel like I’m finally in my element. It’s been a way for me to unite many of my interests and has given me a creative outlet during a time in my life when I am forever changing diapers, cleaning up food off the floor and chasing down kids at the playground. I feel so privileged to be a part of the Scrapartist family, where my love of digiscrapping first began.

My name’s Andrea Tikhomiroff, I’m Brazilian and I’m 37. I was born in Rio but I live in Serra Negra, a country city in Sao Paulo. I’m single and don’t have kids, but I have two nieces and some “virtual godchildren” that I knew through the internet, in groups about Down syndrome. I love these people! Many LO’s are made to them! I always liked to use computers, and I became me developer of systems learning by myself. Some years ago, I started interesting to social inclusion, and I decided to study Pedagogy. I started this course in February. I discovered the digital scrapbooking last May, almost an year ago! Now, I think I’m an addicted to scrap! As I work all day long, and study at night, I just have the weekends to scrap. It’s so difficult to wait!!! I try to learn and to improve my technique every day, and I love it!

I am Buddhini Ekanayake from Sri Lanka, the pearl of the Indian Ocean or the land of tea. I am a television program producer by profession and mainly working on documentary films. I have a keen interest on aesthetics, culture, photography and arts. It was on December, 2005 I got to know about digital scrapbooking. I was amazed by this wonderful form of art and ever since I have addicted to it. Most of the time my daughter is the subject of my layouts but I have a interest on heritage scrapbooking too. And for the past few years Scrapbooking helped me a lot to change my life in many ways. I am so happy to be with Aja Abney’s creative team.

I am currently a SAHM, with a Business degree, to 3 wonderful children who keep me very busy & bring me lots of laughs. I am married to my high school sweetheart, who is the love of my life.
I found digi scrapping after the birth of my third child & have been addicted ever since. I love all that it encompasses. I love taking lots & lots of photos of the everyday stuff, along with the special stuff, & keeping our memories alive through this awesome form of art.

I’m a wife of 6 years and a Mom to two boys, 2 and 4 years old. I spend all day at work staring at a computer (CAD designer) and then I come home and play with my kids until bedtime and then stare at the computer until about midnight each night. My poor eyes! I started paper scrapbooking in about 2000 and discovered digital scrapbooking in May 2006. When I started doing digital layouts, I would send each one to be printed 12 x 12 size to fit into my paper albums. Once I realized that I was never going to do paper scrapbooking again, I decided to try a 12 x 12 Shutterfly album and now that’s where all of my layouts end up. 
On the rare occasion that I don’t feel like scrapbooking, I love to read. DH teases that I collect hobbies. My past hobbies have included rubber stamping, stained glass, cross stitch, crocheting. Another seasonal hobby that I still enjoy is making my own jewelry. I sell quite a lot of my own designs during the Christmas season which helps support my digi-addiction.
