The best part of my job is reviewing all the amazing new kits and templates that our talented designers submit to the store. It’s all so creative, inspiring and beautiful – I don’t know how they do it, but I’m sure glad they do! I’m also the editor of The Groove, Scrapbook MAX!’s monthly newsletter, which we pack full of freebies and challenges provided by these same talented designers. In my “other life”, I’m a children’s author who enjoys spending time with her utterly adorable miniature long-haired dachshunds.

Esther Barry (“Granny”), Designer
I have been playing with RealDrawPro for years, but it’s only since I discovered Scrapbook MAX! three years ago that I have been designing kits and templates for others. It’s hard to say exactly what my style is, but I do love soft, elegant pages. I’m also crazy about stained glass, and I try to incorporate it into my kits whenever possible. The growing process continues, and hopefully it will crystallize into a definite design style, preferably ‘heritage’. See Esther Barry’s designs

Kristi Cakebread (“kritt”), Designer
I love to scrap and started digital scrapbooking about five years ago. I enjoy it because it’s so much fun and so easy to do when the kids are around. I started designing about three years ago. Even though I struggle to find the time, I still manage to do some digital designing. My designs have changed over the years from very basic to using the 3D look more prominently in my work. I love looking at a page and have it pop right out and hit you: you know – WOW! See Kristi Cakebread’s designs

Diana Carmichael (“knzus”), Designer
I’ve been designing exclusively for Scrapbook MAX! since July 2007. You’ll find my design style off the beaten path: a mixture of mediums and effects ranging from bold, bright and whimsical to modern, shabby and in softer hues. Everyday life is my main inspiration. In my parallel life, I’m a home-based web developer/graphics designer in order to be caregiver for my husband. I’m also a mom and gramma. I enjoy blogging, gardening, genealogy, reading and being involved in our church.

Deanne Gow-Smith

Deanne Gow-Smith (“Moonbeam”), Designer
I live in Mt. Gambier, a rural city in South Australia. A few things I love: God, my husband, family, country life, animals, friends, and photography. I have taught art and done trompe l’oeil mural commissions. I have been designing exclusively for Scrapbook MAX! pretty much from the “birth of MAX!”, so this place is special to me. My design motto is “Unless there is inspiration of the spirit, there is no art”. I try not to be repetitive and have look alike designs. I strive to be different. See Deanne Gow-Smith’s designs
Siobhan Kite

Siobhan Kite

Siobhan Kite (“Lillyskite”), Designer
I have always loved to draw. When I was introduced to the Internet, I found a whole new way to draw – with art programs! This opened up a completely new world for me. In 2000, I started up my pixel site, “Lillyskites”. From there I moved on to designing web sets and dolls, and from there more and more people requested scrapbooking graphics – so here I am! I love creating children graphics, and my style is mainly whimsy and prim. No matter how hard I try to go another way, it usually always ends up as one of these. See Siobhan Kite’s designs

Michelle McCoy

Michelle McCoy (“wolvsie35″), Designer
I’m a single mother working from home that has been blessed enough to overcome many obstacles. I found my calling with digital scrapbooking. I have a deep appreciation for art and truly enjoy what I do. I would sum up my designing style as whimsical, cute and very colourful. I love to draw and combining it with designing is the best thing that I could have ever done. Besides designing, I’m a regular contributor and host for the fun challenges in the Scrapbook MAX! community. See Michelle McCoy’s designs
Steve Russell

Steve Russell

Steve Russell (“srussell”), Designer
I’m a long-time designer for Scrapbook MAX!, and bring a unique “male” perspective to my digital designs. I don’t do a lot of flowers and lace, so my designs tend to be more “masculine” than most (although my softer side does make an occasional appearance). I love designing themed kits, many of which have been featured in Scrapbook MAX! products. I have an extensive technical background, including electronics, programming, video and graphic design. I’m also a professional chef and multi-instrumental musician. See Steve Russell’s designs
Carena Scott

Carena Scott (“Carena”), Designer
My name is Carena Scott, mother to Caitlyn born July 2002, and a proud New Zealander. My design style is realistic, and I love floral kits but am always willing to try new things and explore. I’m not just a designer but avid scrapper. I enjoy offering scrapbooking tutorials to Scrapbook MAX! community members and add them to the forum from time to time. I also enjoy scrapping new trends in scrapbooking – come explore with me and we can learn together. See Carena Scott’s designs
Kirsten Smit

Kirsten Smit

Kirsten Smit, Designer
I earned a Bachelor of Creative Arts majoring in Graphic Design and New Media at Wollongong University after which I went on to work at an in-house design studio. I’m a mother, and have been digital scrapbooking for about eight years, selling my designs in various online stores. I now design exclusively for Scrapbook MAX!. I’m a fan of photo realistic elements and designs that appear to pop right off the page. I am inspired by textiles, fabrics and vintage elements. See Kirsten Smit’s designs

Fiona Storey (“angelwithin”) Designer
I’m married with two grown up children and a wonderful husband who puts up with my pc based obsessions! I’m a home-based graphics designer, psychic & medium. I specialize in digital scrapbooks & wedding invitations. I currently design a multitude of kits exclusively for Scrapbook MAX!. I started scrapping completely by accident. I was looking for a program to help me size the embellishments I had been designing, found Scrapbook MAX! and was hooked instantly. I still am 4 years later!

My name is Monja but in the digital scrapbooking community I’m known as Mistica from Mistica Designs. I’m 31 years old and I live with my husband and my two kitties in Germany.
