Meet the Team: Guiseppa Gubler and Natalie Dever plus a GIVEAWAY!

Guiseppa Gubler has been married for almost 13 years to her amazing hubby Sam.   Together they have 2 children and an Angel.  Braden is 13, Janica is 11, and their youngest, Sterling, would have been 9 this year.  He passed away March 2005 at the age of 3.  He struggled with SCIDS otherwise known as "The Bubble Boy Disease."  Although Guiseppa misses him every day she has been able to cherish and preserve all of the special moments and experiences she had with him through her scrapbooking.  Scrapbooking for the last 14 years, it all started with a trip to Pebbles in My Pocket in Orem, Utah - the "home" of Pebbles Inc - in which Guiseppa fell in love and has been scrapping ever since.  We are thrilled to have Guiseppa join us this term.


Describe yourself in 3 words …  easy going, fun, caring.

My guilty pleasure is …  I love having an ice cold Diet Pepsi with lime and like every woman ... chocolate!  I also have a love hate relationship with my elliptical.  When I am done indulging in  Diet Pepsi and chocolate I get on my elliptical.

You’ll never find me without …  a pair of earrings.  It is weird, but that is the first thing that came to my mind.  I can be makeup less, not have my hair done, but I will have my earrings on ... hmmm that is weird!

Growing up I …  moved about 15 times, but was lucky enough that those moves weren't more than
three different states.

You might be surprised to know that I … rock at the game of Tetris!  My hubby Sam has tried and failed to beat my score!

If I could live anywhere in the world it would be …  somewhere warm and tropical - maybe Hawaii, the Virgin Islands or the Bahamas.

My least favorite chore is …  dusting, I loath it.  I always pawn it off on my kids.

If I had one wish it would be …  that our family will always remain happy and healthy.

Here's what Guiseppa had to say about her "all about me" project ... "When Lynn said she wanted a layout created about ourselves, I knew exactly what pictures I wanted to use.  My husband took these pictures of me and they really show the fun and crazy side of me.  I wanted that to show through this layout.  I love the title because I believe I am a lovable and likable person."

Natalie Dever lives in Sheboygan Falls, WI with her husband and their 4 adorable children.  Natalie started scrapbooking soon after her oldest child was born when an invitation to a Creative Memories workshop led to an instant love for the hobby.  That son is now about to turn 17 and Natalie's love with scrapbooking has only grown more and more through the years.  We are so lucky to have Natalie as part of our team this year.

Describe yourself in 3 words ... loving, faithful, and a little bit crazy :)

My guilty pleasure is … reality TV and Law and Order reruns.

You’ll never find me without … chapstick, and not just any chapstick, it has to be the "Chapstick" brand chapstick and the one with the blue label.

Growing up I … hardly ever did anything crafty, when I wanted to take art in high school my mom told me it was a waste of time.

You might be surprised to know that I … have a son with recurrent ependymoma, a stubborn brain tumor that likes to keep  coming back. We underwent a radiation trial in Chicago last summer and are hopeful that it took care of things for good!

If I could live anywhere in the world it would be … Jackson Hole Wyoming - it is one of the most beautiful places ever and it's close enough to our family that we could visit whenever we wanted to!

My least favorite chore is …the dishes because they are never finished!

If I had one wish it would be ... besides the whole cure for cancer thing, I wish and hope that my children will grow up to be healthy, happy, responsible people.

Here's what Natalie had to say about her project ... "I love the little strips along the bottom of Pebbles' patterned papers.  The strip along the top of my patterns has a rainbow of cute little owls that helps to reinforce my 'who I am' theme."
