Design Team Member
My name is Laura-Lee Audit and I live in Mount Hope Ontario Canada. In our cozy home you will find my loving and patient husband of 8 years, Rich, and our two crazy kids, Joshua -6 years and Olivia-Anne-2 years. We also have two cats who are sisters, Holly and Molly.
I work full-time at the local community college where I co-ordinate the night school engineering courses and manage the finances.
I started scrapbooking when my son was a baby and am happily addicted now. My scrapbooking has changed styles though out the years and love it each time I turn a new corner. I also love sewing, altered arts and photography.
I am so proud to be a LP design team member and look forward to an exciting 2009.

Hi! My name is Melissa and I'm a SAHM to two beautiful children, Ethan and Ava. I'm married to Henry and my husband is my biggest supporter and encourages me daily to do what I love!
I've been scrapbooking for almost 4 years and love to learn new techniques and try different styles. Most of my layouts are about my children but I also love to create altered items! If it's not nailed down, I'll alter it!
I'm thrilled to be part of the LP Design Team for a second year and I look forward to a fun scrappin' year!

Hello, my name is Gabrielle, and I live in sunny Central California.. I am honored to be a part of the 2009 LPS Design Team! I am a stay at home mom to four beautiful children, and have been married to my husband Greg for fifteen years! He works as a UPS driver. We live on a rambling half acre with our dog, cat, and goldfish.
I have been obsessed with the modern craft of scrapbooking for about five years. I have always been fascinated with family history, photography, and the arts. My interest in scrapbooking was a natural progression from these interests. I am greatly inspired by my children! I love taking photographs of them, and documenting our family’s history and stories through my hobby. I also love reading, crafts, sewing, hiking, camping trips, and drinking coffee!
I would describe my style as clean and linear, but I also am very fond of vintage and distressed styles. I love trying out new techniques and using new tools. I am so excited to be a part of this team, and see what we will create here at LPS!

Design Team Special Events Coordinator
Hello! My name is Lisa Jamerson. I have been cutting paper for about 10 years now. I was introduced to scrapbooking by going to a crop. That was all she wrote. At first I scrapbooked to preserve the memories but it has become so much more than that to me. I work full time as a flight nurse/paramedic. I see people in the worst moments of their lives. My job has helped me to realize to make the most of each moment we are given. Only God knows what tomorrow holds for us. My daughter, husband, and dog are often the subjects of my scrapbook pages. I love scrapbooking the everyday but don’t mind scrapbooking events either. I also love to make cards and alter objects. Not sure if I have a particular style. I go from one picture one page creations to two pagers with multiple pictures. I let the moment and photographs dictate the page and style. I am so excited to join the wonderful Design Team of Life Preservers. I have been enjoying the kits for awhile and they never disappoint.

I am a dedicated, fun-loving country girl with two boys ages 16 and 20,
and an amazing husband. I am very blessed that they are extremely
supportive of my hobby. I am the shy, quiet type...most of the time :) I
am a weird mix of girly girl and tom boy. Pedicures are awesome, but I'm
not afraid to dip my pretty toes in a puddle or two! Pretty much, I am
just the girl next door. During the day I tend to seven precious small
children by operating a daycare business in my home. Some of my other
interests include gardening, reading, and browsing through antique shops
for inspiration…I love vintage !
I was born with craftiness in my blood! Both my parents are very creative,
and I guess the "scraps" didn't fall far from the "scissors!" I love to
work on anything creative. Although scrapbooking is my all-time favorite,
I recently acquired an aspiration for cards. I started doing scrapbooks in
my Preteen years, but I really got in to scrap booking in 1997.

Hi, my name is Sharon Sprouse and I am a self working mother of two
beautiful grown daughters, one energetic 6yo son and "Noni" to one
goofy and lovable grandson. I am very lucky to have a supportive
husband who affords me the luxury of staying at home to be involved in
my son and grandson's academic, social and play life.
When I feel the need to get out of the house to have some conversation
that does not start with "why?"....I am lucky enough to teach at my
local scrapbook store and as an independent teacher to a wonderful
group of ladies that get together often for friendship and cropping.
I don't really think I have a certain scrapbook style......I like it
all, love learning new things and tend to break the "rules". I will
throw anything on a scrapbook page......nothing is sacred at my
house-----> ask my son who is still looking for one train track that
ended up on a layout or my husband who is still wondering why one of
his shoelaces disappeared.
I feel very blessed to have stumbled upon LPS----for the very inviting
kits, the warm and welcoming members who always seem to make me laugh
daily, and the sincere friendships made and strengthened here----so
it is an absolute honor to be picked as part of the already wonderful
and talented 2009-10 design team. I aspire to inspire!!!!
