Andrea, DesignerHi there, I'm Andrea Ancich. I teach high school "home ec" in Washington State. I live about 30 minutes north of Seattle. I love finding inspiration everywhere and thinking outside the box. My style is eclectic and fun. I love patterned paper, clusters of embellishments and using fun random stuff on layouts. When I'm not scrapping, you can probably find me in my craft room sewing, hanging out with friends, going to concerts or thrifting. I love good deals, estate saling and thrift stores. I'm so excited and honored to be on the Dixie Pieces Design Team. Happy Crafting!

Dixie Pieces Owner, Brenna GroveHello, my name is Brenna Grove, co-owner of Dixie Pieces. Photography is a passion of mine and has been ever since I could remember. I love taking pictures to document events, feelings, or a beautiful scene. I started scrapbooking many years ago as a way to display my photos. I love art but can't draw or paint to save my life, and that's why I turned to scrapbooking. I feel I can make pieces of art using my pictures, paper, embellishments, and journaling. I love that scrapbooking has changed from just displaying photos to making each page a piece of art. Here at Dixie Pieces, we try to take some of the stress of scrapbooking by making coordinating and stylish kits that are ready to use with no rules, just whatever makes you happy.

Brianna, DesignerHi everyone! My name is Brianna Marshall. I am a proud military wife to my high school sweetheart and stay-at-home mama to three amazing little girls. We move often, and I am currently residing in Maryland; but I was born and raised in the lovely state of Maine. I love all things crafty, but my main passions are photography and scrapbooking; thank goodness they go hand-in-hand. I also have a deep love for music, Starbucks white chocolate mocha espressos, hot baths, home design, walking barefoot (preferably in the spring), and meeting new scrappy friends. I am so happy to be here at Dixie Pieces.

Erika, DesignerI'm Erika Taylor, and I'm whistling Dixie to be working with Dixie Pieces. I've got a smokin' husband named Mark, who is my biggest supporter and fan; and we have two zany and wild children, one precious and precocious little girl and a young boy who is full of ideas and creativity. I've been paper crafting since September of 2008, but you could always find me with scissors, glue, crayons and construction paper when I was a little girl. I've got a Crazy Canadian personality and love to make people giggle, either with me or at me. I'm a bit of a magpie and gravitate to sparkle and shine. Creatively, I love trying new things and revel in new techniques, tools and supplies. I am very eclectic in my style and sometimes look from one project to the next and think "Did I make both of those?" Inspiration comes from so many venues, and I'm tickled pink that I get to share my Dixie Pieces journey with you.

Kim, Design Team CoordinatorMy name is Kim and I am so excited to be a part of the new and exciting Dixie Pieces Design Team! My family and I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, about 10 miles north of Seattle, Washington. I have been married to the love of my life for 21 years and we have 7 great kids, 4 of which are still at home. My family is a big part of who I am and I am proud to say that I have been a homeschooling mom for over 11 years.I started scrapping about 6 years ago and it has changed my life and given me a creative outlet that keeps me balanced and on track. There is an internal struggle that most mom's share and that is trying to find quilt free time for themselves while still feeling productive and present as a parent. My solution is scrapbooking. It is such a joy to watch my kids as they stroll back in time with my scrapbooks! They love them—in fact they can't wait for their favorite photo to find a home on a scrapbook page.My basic scrapbooking style is clean, contemporary, and playful but I love to experiment with new ideas and new products. I am so excited to get to know everyone here at this great new site and share my passion with all of you! Happy Scrapping! Talk to you soon!

Dixie Pieces Owner, Sherry GroveHi, my name is Sherry Grove, co-owner of Dixie Pieces, and I've always been a paper and pen addict! As a kid, September was my second favorite month (my birthday month being first) because school started, and it was time to claim new books, papers, pens and pencils. I loved it when office supply stores started opening to the retail customer; didn't you?! :) I come from the legal and technology fields; and I've learned that I love helping others, and I love teaching adults.I was introduced to rubber stamping in the mid 1990?s and from there found scrapbooking. I can play with paper, play with color, and also tell my family's story? Score! And scrapbooking extends our lives; really, it does! Scrapbooking is stress relief from an over busy and hectic life; and less stress equals living longer!Dixie Pieces is built on dreams — mine and Brenna's. I dreamed of creating a business that served others, offering the opportunity for us all to create something that gives us pleasure, that allows us to connect with one another, and leaves a legacy for our children. Now kick off your shoes and stay a while; this is a stress-free zone!
