WOW! What a line-up!

And now there's even more that we've added:

We are very pleased to announce our keynote speaker: Joy Macdonell, Education Director/SDU Founder/National SpokespersonJoy has been taking pictures and crafting with photos since childhood. She has taught scrapbooking since 1996 and is the Education Director and National Spokesperson at EK Success. She hosted "Greetings" from DIY, has crafted on 50+ segments on DIY Scrapbooking, and appeared on Paint, Paper and Craft! and hosts the new EK Success DVD "Scrapbooking with Joy". Joy has had her story featured in Better Homes & Gardens Magazine, interviews and writes regularly for trade magazines, industry websites, podcasts and blogs. Joy's love for scrapbooking is inspired by her husband Duncan and children Ginny and Devin, whose faces smile all over the pages of Scrapbook Design & You. SDU started with this one passionate scrapbook retailer who wanted to show her customers how fun and easy scrapbooking could be. Joy Macdonell and her sister opened the first scrapbook store in the Washington D.C. area in 1997. When Joy discovered that traditional scrapbook classes did not teach how to develop a strong scrapbook foundation, she set out to write her own curriculum. Joy's philosophy is "there is no wrong way to scrapbook, but if you know the fundamental theories and techniques, you will be empowered to create any page with your own style."
We are over-the-moon excited that Joy MacDonnell will be our keynote speaker at our Scrap St. Louis event.

one more thing . . .
We're listening to your comments and add to this event whenever we are able. Many of you have said you'd love to crop at night . . . so . . . you may! Thursday evening, Friday evening & Saturday evening (once the events & classes have subsided), the ballrooms & classrooms will be left open for your cropping pleasure.
We're excited to be bringing an event like this to the Midwest.
Hope to see you at Scrap St. Louis - June 5-7, 2008!
