About Us
Michelle
Barbara – My daughter actually started scrapbooking before I did,
but once I was introduced to this great hobby, I fell hook, line and sinker. I
love working here at SGT. At the beginning of this year, I started teaching
the Quickutz Anonymous classes with Krista. What a wonderful experience that
has been. I’ve made many new friends not only with my fellow employees
and design team members, but also the wonderful customers that come to the store and those that take classes. It’s great to see friendships forming among the ladies that attend crops and classes. You’ll also find me at the store’s monthly 12-hour crops.
Now that’s addicted! In my “other” job, I’m
a court reporter, a very stressful profession. Scrapbooking really helps me unwind
and be creative. I’m a single mom, and my beautiful daughter, Devon,
attends high school at Bonita in I look forward to meeting you!
Cindy I started scrapping
in 2001 after several years of collecting cute products that sat and gathered dust. One day some friends and I decided to
stop collecting and start scrapping and I haven’t stopped since. I live in Covina and have been married for over twenty five years (my how time flies!) I have two lovely children
that are growing up way too fast. My favorite subjects to scrap are my family. Scrapbooking really helps me to relax and unwind.
There is something therapeutic about creating a layout from special photos that tells a story and captures a moment in time.
I love being able to hold those memories in an album the whole family can enjoy. I joined the design team here in Spring of 2006 and I’m so honored to be part of the SGT family. This is a wonderful
place to be! My Blog
Judy Powers Hi! My name is Judy Powers and
I am a scrapoholic. (Hi Judy) I am the proud mother of five and the grandmother of almost six! During the day, I
am a middle school counselor and at night & weekends, I am a scrap addict. I have always loved crafts and photography-
Scrapbooking is the ultimate blend of my favorite pastimes. I actually created my first scrapbook over 40 years ago... before
it was even popular. My
family is very tolerant of my continuous want to take pictures of every event and know the “drill”. Working at
Scrappin' Good Times is like
Life is special...scrapbook it!!
If you had met six years ago you would have never guessed that this is something that I would be into. Getting pregnant
with my first child changed everything for me. I had wandered into a scrapbook store near my work during my lunch break
and I have been hooked ever since. I couldn’t wait for her to be born so I could start scrapbooking. I thought
this was the perfect way to preserve my most treasured memories. I have come along way since I have first started. In the beginning it was about all about cheesy stickers, die frames and
sticking it on a piece of paper. Now it’s all about Quickutz dies, Hambly Screen Print transparencies and rub-ons, cat’s
eye inking, Foo-fa-la buttons, bazzil cardstock, and beautiful designer papers like Fancy Pants and Urban Lily. Scrapbooking
is truly an addiction. You can never have too many papers or embellishments My mantra is “She who dies with the most
supplies wins!”
Devon Hi. My name is Devon, and I'm 16 years old. I am the youngest employee here at SGT. I started scrappin'
a few years ago. I got my mom, Barbara, hooked, and now she scraps enough for the both of us. I attend Bonita High
School in La Verne, and I will be a junior starting this year. I play the flute in the marching band, and I'm also a
black belt. I help teach classes at the karate studio down the way. I work here part time to earn money for college and to
buy a car. I love working here!!
My work has been published in Creating Keepsakes and I am part of the wonderful
Design Team at Queen & Co. I look forward to seeing you all in the store and hope to help provide inspiration through
my layouts. Hope to see you all soon!
Pamela If you are reading this, you probably have been or are about to become “bit” by the scrapbooking bug. I
was bit 8 years ago just before my son was born. Hi, I’m Pamela Densmore, wife and mother of two. My therapist
and family “encouraged” me to get a hobby. I was working long days in a successful career, I had no desire
for children, and was “obsessive/compulsive” about my life. Well, after taking their advise, I now have no
job, two kids, and am still obsessive/compulsive; only now about scrapbooking. What a thrill it is to be on the design
team at SGT creating wonderful pages about the true loves of my life: my husband of 16 years and my two adorable kids,
Austin and Savannah, Heidi Grace, Karen Foster, Basic Grey, Doodle Bug, so on and so on. Happy Shopping. My Blog
Jennifer Burgan I came to scrapbooking about 8 years ago after working for years in other crafts. When I found how well it combined
with being a professional photographer, illustrator, and graphic designer, it was an instant fit. I found that each of my
talents complimented each other. With encouragement from my husband I now see that all of my interests can work together to
create amazing pieces of art. I encourage everyone to give your creativity an outlet and always be willing to try something
new.
Krista Believe
it or not, I fell in love with scrapbooking after it was introduced to me in 1996 by my sorority (Kappa Delta – Cal
Poly Pomona). Hard to believe I can actually say I have been involved in this hobby for 11 years. Truthfully though, it’s
only been in the past few years, that I have become obsessed with it! Seriously... I can’t go for 20 minutes without
thinking of something scrapbook related. Unless I am watching my FAVORITE show Grey’s Anatomy! Oh my gosh, please tell
me McDreamy and Meredith make it!!!!!! But I digress... I have a
WONDERFUL husband who supports my hobby and who tries his absolute best
to be enthusiastic about all my fun purchases and the various projects I complete. I am also a very proud mother of one cute
little 1 ½ year old girl, Hannah. You’ve probably seen her in my work or had the pleasure of watching her ZIP past you
at the store. She’s a girl on a mission when she gets to Scrappin Good Times. And that mission is to get herself into
the always gorgeous window display, to mess up Tina’s showcase, to dump out all of the metal buckles, OR to find her
best friend Vivina. I am also fortunate enough to have a great set up with my dad’s architectural firm as their part
time office manager. And when I am not being wife, mother, or employee, my spare time goes to this wonderful hobby of ours.
My favorite
things to scrap are my beautiful daughter and family. I can no longer give a gift without a hand made card. I think it would
be some sort of scrapbooking sin. It is now expected of me to make a baby album for any of my friend’s baby shower gift.
Why did I get into this hobby again? Oh yeah, because it is so freaking awesome. The wide array of product, the anticipation
of new lines being released, the inspiration, and of course going to SGT. I love it all! The tools
I use most when doing a project are my QuicKutz hand tool and dies, my ColorBox chalk inks (fav color – Creamy Brown),
my sewing machine, paper trimmer, Crop-a-dile with the We Are Memory Keepers eyelets, Scotch Quick-Dry Adhesive, and pop dots.
Stick me on an island with those tools and some ribbon and paper and I am all good. Having the
opportunity to be on the design team at SGT is such an HONOR. Not only
is it a compliment to me, but it pushes me to do more and try new things as well as meet so many fantastic people. The people
at SGT are truly a second family for me. I love them all. I am so EXCITED
and GRATEFUL for this experience.

Hello everyone, My mom and I were in today working on a full album of our trip
and everything was so wonderful. Everyone was very helpful and understanding as we took up half the cropping table sorting
and choosing papers and knick knacks for over 106 pictures. My mom even said it was amazing how much stuff you had.
You have things that I don’t even know what they are. Thank you for helping us and directing us towards cute papers
and good ideas. And thanks for letting us suck up all your space. Bless you for having such an awesome store. Scrapping Love,
Bec & Diane
