Design Team Co-Ordinator

I began scrapbooking in September 2002 and it quickly became so much more than a hobby - there is not a day that goes by where I do not think about scrapbooking in one form or another.  I love the fact that I am able to 'capture' so many memories about my photographs and our lives that will be treasured for many years to come.

What I love even more is the creative process of scrapbooking - from the planning of my pages to playing with all the diverse materials that are out there.  I love finding new and innovative wat to adapt products and techniques to my style of Scrapbooking.

I became a Design Team member for Scrappit in January 2003 and was appointed their Design Team Co-Ordinator in 2005.  I am so appreciaive of the opportunities that have developed for me during this time.  I have been widely published in various Australian Scrapbooking Magazines and was very fortunate to spend 6 months working on the 'For Keeps Creative Scrapbooking' Design Team.

I live in Longford, Victoria with my wonderfully supportive husband Stuart and our two handsome young boys James & Adam.  When I'm not Scrapbooking I enjoy spending time with my family, photography, gardening, cooking and researching our family tree.

I started scrapbooking in 2003 & basically have a passion for it. When do I scrap? Well between 4 kids, a husband & a full time day job, I squash it in to any spare time I have. With all that going on there are plenty of photos & funny moments. My life is busy & my friends would tell you I scrap fast & I love a challenge.

I can usually find something to do with almost any paper you can find & am pretty good with colour. I like co-ordinating different products & can not really pin point a style. I have both girls & a son, we holiday & do day trips & I have found it gives me opportunities to scrap so many varieties of photos that every page is different.

New products are my thing & I am addicted to Ribbons, bling, well just scrap booking in general really!!

I started designing classes for Scrappit in November 2007 & have enjoyed the challenge & watching people grasp new techniques. I look forward to sharing more ideas with everyone soon.

I am blessed to have a wonderful husband Peter and three great kids, Christopher, David and Katelyn, to scrapbook a part of their history. I have become quite a teller of tales within my pages and shared some of the good and bad experiences in our daily lives. I am able to convey my thoughts and those of my family not always by the written word but by the expressions on their faces and through their eyes.

During the past five years I have been developing my scrapbooking skills to the point of having several layouts published in Scrapbooking Memories with a highlight of reaching the SM Masters short list for the last two years. This has broadened my experience with projects, cards and layouts being published in three different publications. Being able to creatively express myself has deepened my love of this craft. I love being able to incorporate other techniques like sewing, inking and photography on my layouts.

I live just south of Brisbane in a small suburb called Daisy Hill and work full time as an Administration Manager, which leaves me a limited amount of time to create all those wonderful ideas that keep rolling around in my head. I am so looking forward to sharing some of my layouts with you and hope that I can inspire you to share a little of yourself in your pages too.

I live in South Australia with my husband Matt and two children, Emma (9) and Sarah (5).  I fell into scrapbooking after my best friend passed away and found it the best wat to find peace in myself.  In addition to scrapping I am also a Primary Teacher and pride myself in slowly turning my class into scrapbookers!

My favourite colours are pink and purple and my favourite techniques are using lots of paint effects and distressing.  My preferred style would probably be collage and shabby chic.

When I am not scrapbooking (Not very often) I love to read books by Patricia Conwell and anyone else who writes about forensics!

My favourite quote is one by Anne Frank, "In spite of everything I still believe in the goodness of humankind".  I read it when in school and it has always given me strength and guidance.
