Introducing our Design Team - Josée Grandbois

Every few weeks we will be showing Artwork from our fabulous Design Team. Today we would like to introduce Josée Grandbois.

Bonjour!
Je suis Josée Grandbois (scrapbookjoe sur Internet). J’ai 32 ans, mariée avec mon conjoint des 16 dernières années. Nous sommes les heureux parents de 3 beaux enfants, Rosalie 5 ans, Félix 3 ans et Alexis 1 an. Lorsque je ne fais pas du scrapbooking, je travaille comme paramedic. J’ai découvert le scrapbooking en 2002, depuis c’est une véritable passion pour ne pas dire une grosse partie de ma vie, j’en suis complètement accro! Je suis très heureuse et honorée de faire partie de l’équipe de Stix2 depuis décembre 2006. Je fais également partie de l’équipe créative pour un fournisseur de matériel de scrap en France la SCAP. J’ai été publiée dans des magazines aux États-Unis (Memories Maker, PaperArt, CorrespondanceART, Cantata book) au Canada (Style et Scrap, ScrapbookExtra) et en France (Histoire de page et Idée de Scrap).Un gros merci à Stix 2 pour cette belle opportunité et au plaisir de vous inspirer.
Josée J

Hi,
My name is Josee (Scrapbookjoe on the net) I leave in Quebec and my spoken language is French. I’m married with my high school sweetheart Christian. We are the parents of a wonderful little girl named Rosalie, Felix and Alexis. When im not scrapbooking, I work as a Paramedic and I love it.

I have always loved photography and all things creative. I’ve been scrapbooking since February 2002 after discovering it on a French TV show. Right after this episode, I jumped onto the internet to learn all I could about this fascinating hobby. From the first 2 minutes of the TV show and 5 minutes on the internet after that, I was hooked. I am now completely addicted to scrapbooking along with the shopping that goes with it. I was published a few times in some French, American and Canadian magazines. I’m very proud to be in the Stix2 Design team. The products are so fantastic. I thank Alessandra for this great opportunity.

Here are 2 of Josée's Layouts and we will share some more layouts next week.

A little about Mélissa:

My name is Mélissa Lamontagne, I am 29 years old and I have been married for 5 years, but  we have been together for over 12 years. I am the mom of two marvellous children, Carolane (8 years) and Maxime (2 years). I am the owner of a marvellous shop in Quebec City - Scrapbook Café on Pierre Bertrand boulevard. I have been scrapbooking for over two years and I ADORRRRRRRRRRRRRRE it!   I work 50-70 hours per week in my store but when I have spare time..... I scrapbook!
