   3 Bugs design team coordinator Elayne Grueber

Hi! My name is Elayne Grueber & I live in Michigan with my husband Jim & our four boys (Nate age 7, Josh age 5, Zach age 2 & Ethan 2 months). I have a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master's Degree in Civil Engineering and worked in the civil engineering field before my children were born. After my second son was born, I switched careers and am now a stay at home mom - it is a great job!! We are a pretty active family & enjoy spending time outside (hiking, camping, walks, or just playing at the park).  I've been scrapbooking for about six years and absolutely love it.  One of my favorite parts about scrapbooking is the journaling - with journaling the layouts preserve not only the pictures but also the memories, thoughts and feelings.   I am truly honored to be part of the 3 Bugs in a Rug design team & to have the opportunity to work with the amazing products! Thanks Kris & Rick!

   3 Bugs design team member Karen Helmka

I am a 36 year old, Mother, Wife, Surgical Tech by trade, SCRAPBOOKER, lover of photography, reading, gardening and a workout junkie. I live with my husband of almost 15yrs and my 4yr old son in El Paso Texas. My husband is in the military, so we move every 3yrs or so. I really enjoy this life because I get to live in all over and meet some really great people. I started scrapping in 2000 with Creative Memories. I didn’t get serious about it until the birth of my son in 2003. I love the creative outlet scrapbooking gives me along with preserving my family memories. I am honored to have been chosen for the 3Bugs in a Rug DT. I am so lucky to be able to work with this incredible group of people. This is a dream come true! Thank you Kris and Rick for this wonderful opportunity.

   3 Bugs design team member Tina Albertson

Hi!  My name is Tina Albertson.  I am 29 years old and reside in Indiana, where I have lived all my life.  I have 3 little girls and have been married to my husband Chad for 8 years, a firefighter and construction worker.  I enjoy playing softball for my church, photography, reality television, and spending time with my family.

I have been scrapbooking for 3 years now.  Scrapbooking to me is a passion and a creative outlet that allows me to preserve memories for future generations. I want the "small" stuff to be remembered. This hobby has brought me so many wonderful opportunities, and I have met so many friends along the way.   I have been fortunate enough to have my work published in Memory Makers, Scrapbook Trends, Paper Art, Cards Magazine!, Blueprint Layouts, Paper Trends and Paper Crafts Magazine.

I am honored to be on the 3 Bugs In A Rug Design Team among such talented women.  I look forward to sharing my ideas with you!

   3 Bugs design team member Amy Coose

My name is Amy Coose, and I am a Texan transplanted to Northern Virginia.  I have been married to the love of my life for 11 years, and we have two beautiful children.  Austin is seven and just all boy, and my daughter Georgia is 5.  She will tell you she is a tomboy, and not a girlie-girl who would much rather play with snakes and dinosaurs than dolls.  They are both the reason I scrapbook, and I love being able to create special memories for my family.  I started scrapbooking when Austin was born seven years ago, and haven't looked back.  Scrapbooking is more than just a hobby for me-it's a way for me to save precious memories, be creative, and do something meaningful.  Outside of scrapping, I teach preschool 3 days a week.

 

I am so grateful to Kris and Rick for the wonderful opportunity to represent 3 Bugs in a Rug.  The products they produce are just amazing, and they are wonderful people to work for.  I'm looking forward to a great year.

   3 Bugs design team member Dana Tate

Hi I am Dana Tate. I live in a small Missouri town with my husband, Jeremy, and our daughter Kennedy. I work as a mom and a cosmetologist. I have been scrapbooking for about two years. I started shortly after the birth of our daughter as a way to preserve our pictures, but it became so much more for me. I have developed a love for photography and storytelling over the past two years and I am completely obsessed with the creation process. Being on this design team is totally a dream come true for me. I am absolutely thrilled to be working for such an awesome and innovative company.

   3 Bugs design team member Valerie Wehrenberg

Hi!! My name is Valerie and I live in Southwest Missouri. I have a wonderful husband, Michael, who is very supportive of my scrapbooking passion. I have two wonderful children, Taylor and Zachary...who are girl/boy twins. I can't imagine what life would be like without being the mother of twins. It is so fulfilling and so challenging each and every day.  They definitely provide me with a lot of photos!!  I had scrapbooked some before they were born, but really got hooked on it after they were born.  I try to work in a little time into my daily life to scrapbook!  I have been scrapbooking for about 5 years.  I have been published in Scrapbook Trends and several of the Cantata Books Publications.

Outside of my family, I am a member of the local Mothers of Multiples club and am currently serving as co-vice president. My duties are all the fun things...like getting all the parties and events planned!! I have been a member of the club since my twins were 3 months old.   There is no way I can even begin to express my gratitude to Kris and Rick!!!!  I am beyond thrilled to be a part of the 3 Bugs Design Team!!!!
