Zaira Sierra, http://hacerscrapbooks.blogspot.com
Zaira Sierra had always been interested in documenting events and moments of life, but she formally went into modern scrapbooking in 2000, while trying to finish her degree in visual communication (she actually did). She taught scrapbooking classes for seven years back in her native Puerto Rico (when the concept of sketches had not shown into the market yet), and wrote her first scrapbooking article in 2002. In 2006, Zaira started her first scrapbooking blog, Scrapbook Latino, that evolved to become the current Hacer Scrapbooks. ("Hacer" is Spanish for "to make".) In 2010, she wrote her very first scrapbooking e-booklet for the Spanish speaking market. Zaira now lives in Florida, USA.

Cathy Sanders, http://whatsupwithcathy.blogspot.com
Cathy Sanders is a wife, mother, daughter, sister and aunt, but most importantly a Christian. Her faith is what gets her through all the tough times and helps her to be the person that she is. Cathy has a love of paper that extends beyond scrapping into her other hobby of quilling too. Scrapbooking has become a very important part of her life. From her commitments to three design teams (Scrapbook Challenges, Nuts about Sketches and The Paper Mixing Bowl) to just doing it for plain enjoyment and scrap-therapy (yes, it is definitely cheaper than therapy!!), her layouts are more than just something to do, they are her photo albums. Cathy scraps the everyday things and events and then files them chronologically into very pretty photograph albums that just happen to be 12×12 in size. Cathy has been scrapping for a really long time with all sorts of books and stuff, but only started proper scrapbooking as we know it since 2003 when her best friend introduced her to it and she reluctantly went to a class. Now Cathy is hooked and a bigger addict than most of her friends!
Julie Hollis, www.juleshollis.com Julie Hollis has been playing with pretty papers since 2002 and currently lives just south of Houston, Texas with her husband and two little guys. Julie loves finding creative ways to make supplies stretch and reach their full potential and usage. What Julie doesn't use, she will recycle or donate. The layout that Julie is sharing uses scraps and recycled cardboard. One of Julie's favorite things to do is find ways to re-purpose product packaging and embossing letter stickers to give them new life. Come stop by her site at juleshollis.com any day for tips, tricks and fun, crafty adventures.

For Cathy's bio, I did assume that the best friend she's talking about is a female. In Spanish we distinguish between male and female friends, the word that encompasses both is rather cold for the tone of the bio. Let me know if it needs to be changed to male.
Danielle, I made two corrections to my bio:
→ My degree should read "graphic communication", not "visual comunnication".
→ I deleted the note in parenthesis regarding the sketches. This bio was used before on a project regarding sketches, but that note makes no sense for your project.
