I love all of the ladies (past and present!!) who have so willingly shared their fabulous-ness with us at I2S! Here’s who’s on board helping me out right now. 
Lu Loy- Design Team Coordinator
I’m a native North Carolinian with a thick southern accent and I’m a proud member of G.R.I.T.S….Girls Raised In The South!!
My husband and I just celebrated our 33rd anniversary. We have a 22 year old daughter who will graduate from college this spring.
My scrapping journey began about 13-14 years ago. I started out as many of you did, using Creative Memories products. While I still use some CM, I’ve branched out and am willing to use just about anything on a layout. I’m not afraid of bold prints and colors and love to figure out how to use them.
Basic Grey is my favorite paper…never met a piece I didn’t like! October Afternoon’s retro-style prints and Miscellany packs are also favorites.
Thanks to I2S, I’m more willing to try new products and techniques. I can’t wait to see what the next few months will bring!
And here’s me…(Carol said I had to have a blurb on here, too! )
Stacey Lokovic – Inspired to Scrap site owner
Hello everyone! I am a scrap-at-home-mama (oops, stay-at-home! 
) to three little ones ages 6, 4 and 2. Needless to say, they keep me very busy between school, soccer and dance-not to mention just by being themselves! My husband, Jeremy, has always been very supportive of everything I do, including scrapbooking. Besides scrapping, I love camping, exercising, reading, cooking, baking, sewing and working on all types of crafts.I have been scrapping for about 16 or so years but I have always been a collector of memories and photos. I love scrapping and finding new inspiration to keep it fresh. A couple of the main reasons I started Inspired to Scrap was first, to share encouragement and inspiration with my fellow scrappers and second, provide us all with a safe and supportive online home.
In college, I studied English and journalism. Then, I was a teacher for five years before my first child was born. I love being able to teach classes online about subjects I love through Inspired to Scrap.
One of my favorite ways to be inspired is to use sketches. I loved sketches from the moment I first tried them many years ago! I started creating my own sketches around 2007 and have been hooked ever since. I started out using my computer to create them but I felt limited by my computer knowledge so I switched to good old-fashioned hand creating them after about 35 digital sketches. Art was one of my favorite subjects in and out of school…and pencil drawing was my specialty. I love sitting with my ruler, notebook, a favorite pencil and getting to work…there’s something wonderful about the act of drawing!
I am so thankful to everyone who is here at I2S to be inspired along with me! Each of you has a special place in my heart and I cherish all of the conversations, layouts, recipes and more we share. I hope you will continue to spend time here as we find new ways to be inspired to scrap together!
