Meet our Design Team:
 My name is Taryn Stothart, and I am the owner of Top Shelf Memories! I began scrapbooking over 10 years ago, and really just started as a hobby to occupy my time. Then I got married and we have two beautiful little girls, and the meaning changed for me. Now I look forward to capturing those everyday moments, and putting together scrapbooks that can be enjoyed and passed on from generation to generation.
I also own and operate a scrapbook retreat house called The Hamburg Hideaway. We’ve been opened for almost two years now, and cannot believe the success we are having! I am a “retired” special education teacher. I decided to be a stay-at-home-momma for awhile, and pursue some other dreams. I am married to the most wonderfully supportive husband. Besides scrapbooking, I love to travel, play poker, shop, and read. I also am a consultant for Thirty-One Gifts. |
 Hi everyone! I’m Susan Alton aka LadyMissSusan around the web. I’m currently the sole caregiver to my 96 yr. old Nana and staff to 4 fur babies of the feline persuasion and 1 feathered friend. I’m also a hairstylist.
I’ve been scrapping for about 3 years now and I truly love it. I usually spend 5/7 evenings a week creating whether it’s scrapping, art journaling, painting or collage work. I’d say my style fluctuates between funky to shabby chic and always layers. I love scrapping so much I even named by newest kitty after my favorite scrap company: Hambly. Besides scrapping you can find me reading. I love a good book and since the Twilight books have been addicted to Young Adult books usually of the vampire nature. I also love to travel, lay by the pool, amateur photography, work on my spirituality, scour thrift stores, music, movies and a bevy of television. You can almost always find me on Twitter too. I’m honored to be on Taryn’s design team. |
 Leah Crowe
Hi! My name is Leah Crowe and I live in the sweet state of Virginia. I’m a proud SAHM to three children aged 13, 5, and 4. They keep me hopping from morning ‘til night with their silly antics! I’m happily married to my sweetheart Doug, we’ve been together 14 years and married for eight. I scrapbook life’s little, everyday moments so my family and I can look back and cherish those snippets of daily life from the past… OK, I can’t lie, I also scrapbook because I LOVE the creative process. It’s a wonderful way to de-stress, and I find myself happier after sitting down to create. I am seriously addicted to alphabets, Thickers in particular, I have a whole drawer just dedicated to those lil beauties! You can read more about myself and my family on my blog. http://darlnsnotalone.blogspot.com |
Besides scrapbooking, I also enjoy watching DVR’d TV shows with my hubby, playing games with my children, teaching myself to crochet, reading, or playing on Facebook. I am thrilled and honored to be on the Design Team here at Top Shelf Memories. Juliann Marchant Hi! I’m Juliann. I have been married for over 13 years. I’m the mom of 3, that keep me laughing and busy, and are my 3 favorite subjects!. I’ve been scrapbooking for 7 years, and do something scrappy practically everyday! i love challenges and sketches, sharing and chatting with other scrappers! |
 Hi scrappers! My name is Lindsey (you can call me Linds)  and I am just thrilled to be serving on the Top Shelf Memories premier design team. I’m excited about the quality of product and service about to come your way! I can’t wait to make some Top Shelf friends.
I’m a mostly sahm and I coach and choreograph competitive gymnastics in my ‘’spare” time. I’m a wife to Doug for almost ten years now and we have Matthew (7) and McKenna (4). We also have a sweet boxer-dog named Mia who is almost a year and a half. While these are usually my scrapping subjects, I love photography so anything has a chance of ending up in my scrapbooks. My style of scrapbooking is also how I tell my stories: in the moment. Some pages will have little to no extra and some will be completely over the top — just like the stories and moments from home. As for scrapwork, I’ve been on the magazine staff for ScrapStreet magazine for a few years now, plus I love to freelance sketch and to participate in the lesser-known forums. Catch me on Facebook, catch me on Twitter, catch me on my blog: http://LindseysScraps.blogspot.com — just be sure to catch me! |
 I’m Annette Graham and I’m thrilled to be a part of Top Shelf Memories debut kit! I’ve been scrapbooking since 1997 and my favorite subjects to scrapbook are my boys. I have three boys: Joe (16), Michael (8), and Sean (4) and I’ve been married to my best friend and soulmate, Steve, since 1999. Since my husband flies the B-1 in the Air Force, we’re currently stationed at Dyess AFB in Abilene, TX, where we’ve been since 2002. In addition to scrapbooking, I also love to practice yoga, play golf, and read. I have recently just learned how to knit, but so far all I can make are scarves. My middle boy is homeschooled and I’m really enjoying learning the fun ways to teach him at home! I taught in the publics schools for a few years before I chose to stay home to raise my kids. While I miss teaching and working full time, I now wonder how I ever worked and got everything done! |
