Lilith is a full-time language teacher and mom to 4 boys which keep her very busy. She grew up in South Africa as a child and it has a special place in her heart. Since she can remember, she has loved paper, arts, and crafts. She used to collect writing paper and, to this day, still has some of her favorite papers from when she was a child. She discovered scrapbooking 17 years ago when she got married and it has slowly become her passion. It also helped her discover the world of photography and she has since started a photography business on the side. When she has some time left, you'll find her in the kitchen baking gluten-free bread and homemade cakes, and cookies. Her scrapbooking style is not easily definable. She loves to try out new techniques and products and she always puts the memory and the photographs first.

Nathalie (aka Tachita, her nickname since birth) was born and raised in Ecuador but calls Toronto, Canada home for most her adult life. She is blessed to be a stay-at-home wife and mom to her teenagers and baby Boston Terrier. She has been enamored with paper crafting and documenting since the day her mom gave her a small paper pad and color pens to play with as a child. Through her life, she has kept a detailed journal of her days and started to transform her journal entries into a more visual format just three years ago. Her style is always evolving, but she loves adding mixed media to her pages and combining black and white photography with lots of colors. You can always find her with her camera on hand, enjoying time with her family or at the dining room table with her black coffee creating her projects.
