| Sharon Brown | |
| Sharon is currently a full-time student, pursuing a future in the medical field. She has been out of school for a very long time, but is meeting this new challenge head-on. The youngest of 9 children, Sharon has been married for 20 years and raised 2 great kids (her step-children). She also has a little dog, Riley, a Maltese who is the love of her life. Sharon has been a paper crafter for 12 years, although she has always been a crafter of some kind. Once she started making cards, her passion really took off. Sharon loves teaching people new techniques, and has always loved to color – so it was inevitable that she would get into the Copic marker craze! Classes offered at Memories Scrapbooking Expo™ |

| Joe Rotella
www.createncraft.com |
|
| Joe’s mom got him hooked on crafting when he was a child. As early as he can remember, his mom was crocheting. When she brought home a Brother knitting machine, he was fascinated and soon began creating designs from christening dresses to ski wear. He dabbled in macame, string art and latch hooking when he was younger. Now Joe’s turned his eye to paper crafting. He loves detailed work, so naturally paper engineering (e.g., pop-ups and interactive pages) and paper piercing are his specialties. An engineer at heart, he’s drawn to all the tools available to make scrapbooking and card making fast and fun! This fall Joe will be hosting a scrapbooking cruise to the Caribbean.
