Trisha Ladouceur
 Trisha
has been an avid scrapbooker officially for 13 years and has taught for more
than 11 years at stores and conventions - big and small. She has been married to
her best friend, Drew for 19 years and has 2 wild, but devilishly handsome boys,
Logan and Carter, who are more often than not the source of her inspiration. She
resides in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada where the long, cold winters provide plenty
of scrapbooking time for her.
Trisha's teaching abilities have taken her on numerous travel adventures in
recent history and there will be plenty more in the coming months as she gears
up to head back to Australia in May for a cross country ARTSY ADVENTURE Tour.
She has taught scrapbooking and paper crafting classes coast to coast in both
Canada and the United States as well as in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico,
Australia, Norway and the Netherlands. She has had the good fortune to teach
aboard three different cruises to date and looks forward to seeing where she
will get to explore next in this wonderful journey called life. Trisha feels so
very fortunate to combine her love of travel with her passion for teaching.
Being able to share her scrapbooking addiction with paper crafters everywhere is
a match made in heaven!
 To Trisha's credit, she is not only the Pink Paislee Educator but
also an Endorsed Educator for many other leading manufacturers in the
scrapbooking industry. Trisha has had numerous projects and articles published
in various magazines and is currently a Contributing Writer for Canadian
Scrapbooker Magazine.
Trisha loves to create projects that are very detail oriented and incorporates
texture and dimension wherever possible. You will not find a "flat" project
anywhere in her portfolio! The best part of it all is that she shows her
students that they too CAN create a work of art that they will be proud of. When
the steps are broken down and simplified, any task can be accomplished by any
level of scrapbooker.

 Diane
Schultz—Designer and CEO (aka the mother)
“I'm passionate about being creative and eager to make it
possible for others to find their creative voice. My background includes stints
as a designer for McCalls, Simplicity, Vogue/ Butterick, Mattel Toy Company and
a host of other jobs that each, in some way, led me to what I do now. At 45 I
went back to school and got my degree in graphic design— I named the company to
celebrate that achievement.”
 Aimee
Filimoehala—Director of Operations (aka one of the daughters)
“I wear a lot of hats and love it that way. Business, marketing,
operations, etc. have made me a pro at multitasking (aka juggling figuratively
and literally). When we launched Graphic 45 just three years ago we had no idea
what was in store, working together as a family has been an amazing journey that
we all feel so grateful to be apart of."
 Charee
Filimoehala—Director of Customer Service and Design Team Coordinator (aka
one of the daughters)
“I joined the team a little over two years ago and haven’t looked
back…what a life-changing experience this has been. I love working with and
around creative people and products (not to mention I like my co-workers quite a
bit). I spend my days working with our friendly stores and talented design
team…the occasional trip somewhere warm is pretty nice too.”
Together we create vintage inspired crafting products that capture the
flamboyant style of the 1920's and 30's - with vibrant color, irresistible
texture and imaginative design to create products with decades-old appeal that's
both fresh and familiar. Let our products inspire your next scrapbook layout,
card, album or home decor project.
 Christy
Riopel
 Returning
instructor Christy Riopel is fun, energetic, and wildly creative. As a mother of
two daughters, she still finds time to be a Contributing Writer for Canadian
Scrapbooker Magazine and a paper crafting instructor, between the carpooling and
mountains of laundry. Christy has taught with her own entertaining style of
creative escapism internationally at many industry leading events like CHA, Crop
and Cruise, Scrapfest, and The Great Canadian Scrapbook Carnival and has worked
for some of the leading companies in the industry. She is very excited to be
representing BasicGrey at Camp Croppin this year!
 Jeri
Tanner
Working with Bo-Bunny’s international sales & marketing allows Jeri to combine
two favorite activities- traveling and teaching. Love of things new and
different provides creative variety to all her crafting projects. After years of
living in foreign countries with her husband and four children, she is happy to
be living close to her 6 grandchildren! Since the secret dream to perform on
stage has not happened, Jeri takes advantage of a captive audience to practice
her entertaining skills. (Be afraid, very afraid!)
 Megan
Hendrickson
 Working
with Bo-Bunny for just a year and a half, Megan Hendrickson is still the new kid
in the office, literally. She likes to stare blankly at her coworkers when
they’re reminiscing about an old TV show or song that was WAY before her time.
Megan enjoys managing Bo-Bunny’s social media and advertising efforts along with
traveling to events. She loves the outdoors, art, tennis, and running. Her
unusual claim to fame is that she speaks Mandarin Chinese and is often looking
for ways to keep herself from forgetting it. Megan was just married last year,
and lives in a tiny, basement apartment with her wonderful husband.
