Monica Wallace, owner

I am Monica , currently live in Spokane , Washington. My husband Clint and I have been married for 10 years and we have two wonderful children, Caleb (6) and Abby (4). Clint and I love to travel. Our favorite places have been Europe, Mexico and Hawaii. I love scrapbooking and creating transparency products for myself and for all of you. As much as I love scrapbooking, I think I might be even more addicted to buying paper and embellishments…it makes me happy! Scrapbooking and preserving our memories is a part of my every day life. I take pride in my family, my work, my company and now my wonderful design team.

Q: Favorite place to scrap? We just moved to Spokane and I love my new office/scrapbook room! It's in the basement next to the kids' playroom. This room is jam packed with three 8' tables, computer with desk, 3 printers, store inventory, TTT monthly kits, 5 rolling carts that hold my supplies and more. Needless to say, my husband likes to spend as little time as possible in this room!
Q: Favorite time to scrap? Late at night when my kids are in bed. Most of my transparencies are created between 11p.m.-1a.m. It's hard to keep up with all of the ideas in my head!
Q: What beverage do you prefer while scrapping? 100% Dr. Pepper. I'm hooked!
Q: What music is usually on when you're scrapping? I usually have the radio on while I scrap. I like 80's music and top 40. If I'm scrapping during the day, then I am scrapping with Noggin (tv) in the background or nickjr on the computer.
Q: How would you describe your scrapbooking style? Fun, simple, creative…
Q: When did you start scrapbooking? About 10 years ago. When I first started, all I had was a pack of 12x12 primary colored cardstock, 1 black zig pen, some die cuts and a bunch of shape and alphabet templates!…. Good Times :)

I love creating. I enjoy scrapbooking as well as reading, computer time, travel, collecting crystal figurines, and spending time with my husband and children. I like to have fun and I am rarely shy. I love alone and quiet time but I find it rare these days. I wish I had taken more photos when I was younger so that I could create more memories with those photos. At least I try and take tons of photos now. I am excited about being a designer and DT coordinator for Transparent Touches. Favorite quote “If you don’t believe in yourself…chances are nobody else will.”

Q: Favorite time to scrap? I like to scrap late at night when everyone else is in bed. It’s “me” time.
Q: What beverage do you prefer while scrapping? Ice water works for me
Q: What music is usually on while you're scrapping? I love all kinds of music and styles. I usually tend to play a mix of my favorite tunes while I scrap. It relaxes me.
Q: How do you describe your scrapbook style? I never know how to answer this question. I hope I don't have a certain style. I like to think I mix it up enough that I don't fit into one category.
Q: When did you start scrapbooking? I made my first scrapbook when I was 13. It was a mess but I wouldn’t change it at all today. I took a fairly long hiatus and rediscovered my love for pictures and memories when I became a SAHM 4 years ago. I haven’t looked back since.

My name is Chrissy Greenman and I live in Charleston, South Carolina with my husband, Adam, my beautiful two-year-old daughter, Brooke, my cat, Wilber, and my dog, Bailey. We have lived in South Carolina for 6 years. I was born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan so I am a northerner at heart! I have been a teacher for 9 years. I currently teach first grade. My husband is a chiropracter and this March will mark his first year in his new practice! My favorite hobbies are scrapbooking and riding horses. I have been riding horses for 27 years and scrapbooking for 9 years. I am so inspired by TTT and its members. My sister, Jenn Hilger, introduced me to TTT in August of 2006 and I have been hooked ever since then. It has truly changed me as a scrapbooker. You have no idea how honored and excited I am to be a part of the TTT design team!

Q: Favorite place to scrap: My dining room just changed scrapbook room. We never use the dining room so I decided I needed my own space. It worked out nicely.
Q: Favorite time to scrap: In the late morning on a breezy, sunny day with the windows open but realistically, when Brooke goes to bed!
Q: What beverage do you prefer while scrapping?: Sweet tea! I am a southern belle now!
Q: What music is usually on when you're scrapping?: I like to listen to country or soft rock.
Q: How would you describe your scrapbooking style?: I love sketches. I draw inspiration from sketches to create my layouts. I prefer clean and simple layouts with lots of pattern paper.
Q: When did you start scrapbooking?: When I graduated from college I felt all alone in this big world. I needed something to do with my time so I decided to let my creative side out and started scrapbooking. I have been hooked now for over 9 years!

My name is Nathalie (there's a H but it's pronounced Natalie) and I am a stay at home mom of two boys, ages 6 and 10. I have been married to my very understanding husband for 11 years. I am originally from France, immigrated more than 15 years ago as a student, and now live in the San Diego area which I love. I have been seriously addicted to scrapbooking only for the past couple of years (even though I began my wedding album 10 years ago!). What started simply as an intention to get photos out of shoeboxes has become a creative outlet that I can't imagine not indulging in! My main subjects and biggest supporters are my two sons who occasionally join me in the scrap room.
I am very proud and honored to be part of Transparent Touches Design Team. It represents a new creative adventure on which I am very excited to embark.

Q: Favorite place to scrap? By the window, in my small scrap corner of our bedroom. Not glamourous but I like it.
Q: Favorite time to scrap? Anytime during the day because I love daylight but, I also scrap in the evening when I am on a roll!
Q: What beverage do you prefer while scrapping? I typically don't eat or drink while I'm scrapping because I get so engrossed in what I am doing that I forget to... I will occasionnally have a cup of tea but it's often cold by the time I remember it's there.
Q: What music is usually on when you're scrapping? None.
Q: How would you describe your scrapbooking style? I would describe my style as graphic, bright and simple with an attention to details that doesn't take the focus away from the pictures.
Q: When did you start scrapbooking? I started scrapbooking on my own with my wedding photos and a Canson kit from Hobby Lobby about 10 years ago. Thanks to a friend who invited me to her Stampin' Up party two years ago, I finally finished that album! At that same time, I discovered the online scrapbooking world and have been addicted since then. I continuously get inspired by reading blogs, checking galleries and using sketches, which explains why I spend so much time on the computer!
