Basic Grey - Christy Riopel - I am a Mom of two beautiful girls and wife to Mike, the most patient man in the world. I also share my life with two dachshunds who give me much challenge and joy! I live the most creative life I can and love the world of scrapbooking. I have taught in several local stores, across western Canada and around the world, including Crop and Cruise, Crop Tropical, and CHA. My layouts have been published several times in Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine, as well as I have taught for them at The Scrapbook Carnival. I am part owner of www.MondayNightClass.ca a Canadian scrapbook Kit club. I am very excited to be teaching for Basic Grey and at Camp Croppin’! Check out my Blog http://christyriopel.blogspot.com

Hero Arts - Shari Carroll - Shari joined Hero Arts in 1989 as a replication artist, copying sample cards for stamp stores. Her own style evolved as she explored and developed various techniques using inks, papers and rubber stamps.
Known for her collage art, Shari developed the “color layering” and “color blending” techniques for Hero Arts.
Her work has been featured in Somerset Studio, Somerset Gallery, Take Ten, Stampers’ Sampler, The Rubber Stamper, Paper Crafts, Creating Keepsakes and Memory Makers. She is the author of “Layers: Inspired Collage,” a 128-page book of step-by-step projects for scrapbookers, paper crafters and rubber stamp enthusiasts, published in 2006 by North Light Books.
Shari continues her work with Hero Arts by contributing a monthly technique article, weekly card ideas for the web and catalog samples and designs. She enjoys traveling and teaching stamping classes worldwide.
Shari lives in Somonauk, Illinois, with her husband Tom, sons Brooks and Scooter, their friend Chris, and the family German shepherd, Cede.

Sandy Holmquist
“Hi, my name is Sandy and I’m a scrap-a-holic”. Imagine the look on my face when I was told that I would be teaching for 2 companies at Camp Croppin’ that have been in the industry for almost as long as I have. There are people out there that are willing to feed the addiction. I have been scrapbooking and paper crafting since 1989.
I have been teaching for Scrapbooker’s Paradise for three years. I teach everything from traditional scrapbooking, techniques with all the fun stuff, card making, and digital scrapbooking and Photoshop. Oh yes, and I get paid to do this. Imagine this….I also teach people how to color as a Copic certified instructor. I have been published in Canadian Scrapbooker and have taken first prize in the few design competitions that I have entered. Life is very GOOD!

Fran Seiford
Fran Seiford, owner and CEO of Stampendous, made her first $25 investment in the craft industry when she ordered a batch of custom rubber stamps made from her own illustrations. Her initial investment soon blossomed into a wide range of craft tools & products to help others in their creative expression. As Fran says, "A handmade card or craft speaks from the heart."
