2026 Creative Team

Hi I’m Jeanne Jachna! My paper crafting obsession started when I began making scrapbooks to document family vacations, holidays and special memories that I never wanted to forget. When I left my career, my husband started calling me his "Kept Wife". The name of my blog "A Kept Life" is a play on that expression, because now I capture moments in photographs and create in color. I love cardmaking because I love to send smiles. I am blessed to be part of the crafting community because we help encourage, inspire and heal each other!

My name is Jinny Newlin. I am a wife, homeschool mom, and teacher at heart, living in El Paso, Texas. From cooking/baking to gardening, photography, and even home design/remodeling, I have always been creative; but scrapbooking, especially with my three musketeers and our family zoo as the subject matter, has held a very special place in my heart now for almost 25 years.

My name is Kat and I’ve been playing with paper since I was a kid! I’ve dabbled in all sorts of different paper crafts including traditional scrapping, card making , project life, and book journaling. The topics of my projects usually include my husband, daughter, or dog.

I'm Keely and I have been scrapbooking for 25 years. I love to create bright, colorful layouts and cards. I live in Central Kentucky with my husband and 2 doggies. My creative projects celebrate our family life with our kids and grandsons. When I'm not scrapbooking, I love taking photos, reading, and snuggling grandbabies.

I'm Lisa and I've been scrapbooking since I could tape things into a Hallmark scrapbook as a child. It's been my chosen hobby forever. I enjoy all types of crafts and sewing, home decor, thrifting and traveling. When I'm not traveling I work as a Lactation Consultant and Childbirth Educator or hang out with my 3 adult daughters and dogs.

Hi, I'm Mary Jo Johnston, and I've been paper crafting for more than 20 years. What began as a love for creating scrapbook pages quickly evolved into a passion for cardmaking. I enjoy every part of the creative process, from selecting papers and embellishments to layering the final details that bring a project to life. My favorite part is sharing those handmade creations, giving away one-of-a-kind works of art and being able to brighten someone's day or celebrate life's meaningful moments. I'm beyond excited to be designing for Pretty Little Studio and sharing creative inspiration using their beautiful collections.

I discovered scrapbooking in 2003 and quickly became passionate about working with paper, photographs, and treasured ephemera. After the birth of my youngest daughter, I turned my creative hobby into a business by opening an Etsy shop in 2009, eventually expanding into a full-fledged website. Since then, I’ve designed more than 30 scrapbook collections inspired by storytelling, memory keeping, and the joy of handmade creativity.

After 30 years of scrapbooking, I’m still not bored with it. Life is wonderfully beautiful, painful, chaotic, tragic, messy, hilarious, terrifying, and sometimes even magical…and I know the importance of capturing and documenting even the dullest moments. When all you have left of your loved ones are the memories, those memories become your treasure. My current favorite subjects are my grown kids, but by the end of 2026, I will have a new tiny treasure to add add… and I cannot wait!

Hi I’m Monique Liedtke, I live in the Netherlands together with my husband and Cocker Spaniel. We have three adult kids who all live nearby. I started scrapbooking more than 20 years ago and still love it! I like to create layouts of all sizes, cards, mini albums and planners. I also enjoy reading, going to the cinema, walking (with our dog), traveling, line dancing and aqua jogging.

I have been scrapbooking for almost 30 years. My current favorite subjects to scrap are my five grandkids. I love a good challenge and enjoy sharing my scrapbook process on YouTube. You can also find me challenging and inspiring all my Pretty Little Studio friends on our Facebook group!

Hi there, my name is Tarrah McLean, I live on the NSW Central Coast in Australia and have 2 amazing sons Luke - 20 years and Oliver - 15 years. I have been scrapbooking for 20 years. Besides scrapbooking, I also love to travel, op shopping, photography, shopping, listening to music and spending time with my family.

My name is Wendy, and I live in a small town in western Michigan. I’ve been married to my husband, Jon, for over 27 years, and we have two adult daughters and a beloved dog named Maxwell. I’m also a third grade teacher. My creative journey began in 2005 with a blank spiral notebook, a bunch of zoo pictures, some animal stickers, and colorful markers to make a memory book for my daughter, and I was hooked! Today I scrap 12x12 exclusively.
