Design Team Highlight - Lara, Claudette, Tracey and Shilo

We are thrilled to highlight the last four of the TC DESIGN TEAM members. Please get to know them and follow them here as well as their own accounts. 

Lara Scott

My name is Lara Scott and I don’t think I remember a time in my life when I wasn’t creating something. I chose fine art/graphic design as my major in college after years of art classes all throughout my life. I still love most crafts but always found myself drawing, painting and making things out of paper. I have been a freelance designer and have designed for several companies in the scrapbook/papercraft industry for over 12 years and have been published several times.

I was born in Honolulu,Hawaii; the oldest of 7 children in a large Asian/American family-hence the Hapa Girl. Hapa is Hawaiian for half and generally refers to those who are half Japanese. My husband and I recently relocated to the Pacific Northwest and I am learning to navigate a new city.

I believe that we are all stronger than we think we are and that your story matters. If you don’t tell it, who will?

Claudette Clements

I’m Claudette Clements, the mother of three children (including a set of twins), a
passionate paper crafter, and an avid admirer of all things Teresa Collins. I’m so
honored to be part of her design team this year and look forward to creating many
beautiful things with her product lines. Being able to create, whatever form it takes, is like air to me. Without it, I just don't feel alive. I love to make many things, from simple cards, to quick tags, beautifully wrapped and presented gifts, or an even an elaborate mini book. I love paper. I love paint. I love tools. I love all things that sparkle. If you can make something with it, I love it. Some days, I want to work on a clean, modern design, and other times I want to work for weeks on an intricate baby book I plan to give as a gift. I’m not locked into one type of project or one style, but I will say that I love “bells and whistles.” I like to take things to the next level by adding just a little something. I can’t even say what that something really is, I just know it when I see it. My website is www.TheyCallMeMartha.com - I hope you find a bit of inspiration in my creativity and make it your own.

Tracey Shenton

Hi my name is Tracey. I live in the gorgeous Hunter Valley, Australia. I have 3 wonderful boys (Joe, Will & Charlie) and a fantastic husband (Phil). I have my own accounting practice. I love to memory keep & journal.
