Meet The Design Team - Juliet (Jules) Diley

 My wonderful family!

Who is Jules(Juliet)? My name is Juliet but my FRIENDS call me Jules!
I am married to the most wonderful guy in the world, Vince. We have eight
yes, I said 8, kids. The older 5 are grown and gone and 3 of them are married.
The other 3 are 18, 15 and 14. The 18 year old will be flying the coop soon!

Tell us about your early beginnings in scrapbooking ?
I blame it all on
a dear friend, Jo, who invited me to a CM party about 12 years ago! Quickly 
moved out of the CM and started to scrap with a group of friends. Followed 
more friends as they walked through owning a scrapbook store and the obsession
just continued to grow!

Why do you scrapbook ?
It is all about recording our family's lives. I love being
able to leave a little piece of my heart for my kids to remember for years to come!

What inspires you/motivates you to create?
Often it is a song, a thought or a 
picture that I want to highlight in our lives!

Who are your scrapbooking idols ?
My friends! I don't really have a specific 
person in the industry that i idolize. I love to see how different people create! Take the 
same piece of paper, embellishment or word and how THEY go with it!

Tell us a little-known fact about yourself.
Hmm, I guess that I like to eat peanut butter and pickle sandwiches! Dare ya to try one sometime!

What kind of music do you enjoy ?
Country is my first pick. Contemporary Christian is my second, but I will listen to just about anything if it IS music...not a big fan of rap or acid rock...sorry.....

How do you find time to scrapbook ?
I'm a night owl. After the house is quiet that is my favorite time to get at it! It is not uncommon for me to be scrapping until 3 in the morning!

What's the hardest thing for you to scrapbook ?
MINI ALBUMS! I just don't like them. I guess to me they are hard to display.

What's your go-to embellishment ?
Ribbon and buttons, but that could always change! I also love ephemera!

What is your favorite color for scrapbooking ? Which color do you rarely use ? 

That is an evolution! At one time I couldn't stand bright colors, but if the picture fits I say go for it! I also love the muted tones, can always find a use for earth tones and neutrals! I guess I find it hard to scrap with reds and purples....I LOVE both of those colors, as a matter of fact they are my FAVORITE colors but to scrap with they are difficult!

What made you happy today ? The cup of coffee put beside my bed for when I woke up by my wonderful man of 27 years...he does that almost EVERY morning! So I wake up happy most days!

Meet the Design Team-Michelle Price


Who is Michelle P (michprice)?
First and foremost I'm a mother of 2 children-one boy (age 6)-one girl (age 8). I work from home for a charter airplane company scheduling flights and giving price quotes. And of course-I'm an obsessive papercrafter. I blog at Simply Price.

Tell us about your early beginnings in scrapbooking?
I was introduced to card making by my future sis-in law when I was 20 and thought 'Boy-what an old lady thing to do" I humored her and tried it and have been going steady ever since.

Why do you scrapbook?I love to document the little things about our lives that will so soon be forgotten. It makes me happy when my kids look through my albums and read and laugh about things they've done in the past.

What inspires you/motivates you to create?
I could say my children inspire me, but really it's the gorgeous scrap supplies that I keep buying. I also love the creative aspect of scrapbooking.

Who are your scrapbooking idols?
I love the work of Elizabeth Kartchner and Maggie Holmes.

Tell us a little-known fact about yourself.I'm 6 feet tall and I wore ballet shoes to my wedding so I wouldn't be taller than my 6'1 husband. I've only ever owned 1 pair of high heels in my life and that was when I was dating a guy who was 6'7 and nothing I could do made me taller than him. Clearly I have issues with my height :)

What kind of music do you enjoy?
My husband makes fun of me because music is so not my thing. I have no clue about the current popular songs or bands or anything. I like Taylor Swift and John Mayer and my old Boys II Men CDs.

How do you find time to scrapbook?
I'm a night owl.

What's the hardest thing for you to scrapbook?
I have a hard time scrapping holidays and birthdays because I always have a million photos from one event.

What's your go-to embellishment?
It changes frequently-right now it's doilies and hemp twine.


What is your favorite color for scrapbooking? Which color do you rarely use?I'm loving kraft paper right now. I keep buying it and yet I'm always out! I like white and brown too. I rarely use purple but that could change anytime I find a beautiful purple patterned paper.


What made you happy today?
Eating strawberry shortcake on the back porch with my family and then watching my kids try and outdo each other with trampoline tricks.
