Your Commit 2 Paper Inspiration Squad

Katy “Soliel” Fleming

Katy is from Atlanta, GA where she is both an engineer and creative dabbler. She lives with her amazing husband Champ and has two polar opposite cats Puck (a Midsummer Night’s Dream reference) and Allie. She started creating things as a young girl under her mother’s watchful eye and has been actively scrapbooking for two years.

She is totally stoked to be part of the Inspiration Squad for C2P! She’s ready to lend her opinion on just about everything and spend some quality time driving Amy completely insane. More importantly she’s ready to bring a fresh idea to every kit and try and make everything she does hip. Every kit, every layout will have a flair of its own, and never, ever be boring.

Besides scrapbooking and designing airplane repairs, Katy enjoys photography, traveling, reading, blogging and fancies herself a part time writer (currently in the middle of three novels and about 10 short stories). She’s a movie and tv addict and loves getting into shenanigans with her friends.

She gathers her inspiration from a variety of things but in particular the beauty of words, the efficiency of symmetry and the pure complexity of nature.

Joyce Maurer

Joyce is thrilled to be a part of Commit 2 Paper’s Inspiration squad! These ladies have always amazed her with their warmth and talent and she believes this is going to be a wonderful experience for us all.

In the past Joyce spent two years on the Design Team for ScrapGoods and has been scrapping for about four years She has been married 12 years, has one step son entering 1st yr college, and 3 fur babies (cats). Joyce has a great job as bookkeeper/ office manager. She also makes her own jewelry, and dabbles in polymer clay and a recent addiction to ATC's!

Scrapbooking, to her, is not just a hobby or a craft, it is a very personal form of art. Think about how people are going to look at our art generations from now! Isn’t that exciting? And Inspiration is a HUGE part of our art. Inspiration for Joyce comes from so many places. Her husband is a tremendous source of inspiration and encouragement. Spring time with all the rebirth of nature really gets her going. And most of all, when she looks at a photo, she sees a story. Everything that comes to mind about that person or event in the photo; that is what she wants to get onto her pages... that story. Hopefully, Joyce will be able to inspire you to tell your story and share it with your loved ones and all those future generations.

Marlene Spencer

Marlene is excited to be a part of the Commit 2 Paper's Inspiration Squad team and up for the challenge of trying to create new and creative layouts to share. She is the wife of a wonderful man, Marcus; Mother of 5 fantastic children (all grown now, whew!!) and Grandmother to 9 energetic grandchildren. Needless to say she has plenty of scrapbook material to work with.

Scrapbooking is definately a hobby which has taken over all of her spare time and every inch of empty space in the house. She has been scrapbooking since 2002 and is loving every minute of it from creating layouts to share with family to shopping and "collecting" scrapbook supplies. She makes her home in the small community of Fallbrook, CA and helps her husband and two sons run a transportation brokerage from a home office.

Kandi Phillips


I confess I'm a bit of a paper crafting junkie! I've been stamping and cardmaking for about four years, and have been "loosely" scrapbooking off and on since I was 15.

Products have definitely changed in 13 years, and I am super pumped to work with the C2P kits! Just a little bit about me - I'm married to an amazing guy named Jake who fully supports my craft addiction, thankfully! I have two wonderful kids, Gwynie (10) and Brady (7) who are the funniest and cutest kids you'll ever meet, but I may be just a bit biased. ;)

I love reading, sleeping in on the weekends, White Chocolate Mochas from Starbucks, laughing until my cheeks hurt, and playing Rock Band with the coolest friends a girl could have. When I'm not doing all those fun things, I work full time for a nationally based company in Accounts Payable.

With that being said, I treasure the time I get to spend crafting and creating keepsakes for my loved ones! The thing I love most about scrapbooking is watching my children pull their scrapbooks out and remember the fun family trips we have taken, birthdays, holidays, and even the every day stuff.

Melissa Williams


Melissa is from southwest Michigan. Her day job is spent working at a local middle school as a technology integration specialist, which is just a fancy title for tech support, movie maker, and photographer. Other hats she wears include mother of two very active little boys and wife to a Notre Dame Football fanatic.

Both a digital and paper scrapper, Melissa has been addicted to the craft since 2003, when it was suggested she use her craftiness to make a gift album for a friend, which she readily did. Little did she know it would become a hobby that would require a dedicated space in her house! She loves to scraplift people and use sketches for inspiration.

Melissa is excited to be a member of the Commit2Paper Inspiration Squad! She hopes to use the kits to create many beautiful Layouts that inspire others, as well as take care of some of the massive amounts of photos she seems to take every month!

Bridget Farrington


My name is Bridget Farrington, and I have been scrapbooking for about 9 1/2 years. I am honored to be a Guest Designer here @ C2P. I have always had a love for arts such as painting ceramics with my grandma and drawing and making gifts for others.

I just realized how since High School 90-94 I just stoped doing my crafts.

I lost my way I guess you could say. But it wasn't until I started Stamping in 2000 and scrapping in 2001, That I remembered how I loved to create and esp. make gifts for others. When I am not scrappin you can find me on my laptop editing photos, on FB playing games and watching TV. I am exploring photography on the side.

I have 4 fur balls. My beloved Dogs.I have a woderful Husband of 11 years now. We currently reside in The Miami Fl area I love to scrapbook so I can look back at these memories and laugh, cry and just plain enjoy them.
